• Husqvarna Motorcycles Made In Sweden - About 1988 and older

  • Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

Looking for a vintage husky to photograph

I am an artist (I also ride a 2012 TE250 so I don't usually post anything in this part of Cafe Husky) I am looking for an older bike, 70's or early 80's to take some photos of for a new piece I am working on. I need to get some reference shots of the bike and lighting at a specific angle. I'm not too particular which model/year as long as it has the red tank with the silver patch and the logo in white, the "classic" husky. I have been looking locally for the past few months and not found anything that would work. I really don't want to travel too far, I have kids and family responsibilities. Anyway, I am in Holland, Michigan USA and looking for a bike not more than a two hour drive away so I could get this done some weekend afternoon. The other option would be if someone could take the photos for me (they don't need to be great quality since they are just for reference) I could send a little sketch of what I need. In return for letting me shoot your bike or getting the shots for me I can send you a signed print of the finished piece. Can anyone help me out?
