• 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!

Pictures of your bikes

There are two in Germany at Zupins moto-sport. One is a SM and the other a TE like yours. How much did you pay for yours? Awesome place. When we were all waiting for the 08 to arrive here in the states, they had a whole inventory. Plus their parts warehouse was completely full of 08 parts. If you look at their catalog on the web sight, they have all kinds of trick parts for them. Even those big bore kits for the 510 and billet triple clamps

My drive there:

A Genuine Collector :notworthy:

Do you have other things of rare value you could share with us.

I can only hope you do have a bike to ride once in a while.:thumbsup:
 
Thanks for the replies gents, and for posting up the pictures of the Zupins pair Dieselox4. Apart from promotional pictures those are the first I have seen. There are some nice shots on this link as well http://www.benvanerp.nl/albums/20040909-History/index.html

Husky Dude, I so wish I was a 'genuine collector' with other things of rare value, truth is this bike was raffled by the main UK Husqvarna importer, Husky Sport during 2004 / 2005 to raise money for the British International Six Day Event Team and I won it with a ticket a very good friend had bought and given to me! What a mate!

I do have other bikes to play on, this is my current fleet;

2004 Yamaha TT600RE Belgarda, owned since January 2009
2007 Honda CBR 1100XX Blackbird, bought new in August 2007
1967 Triumph T120 Bonneville 650cc, owned since 1979
1974 Norton Commando Mk11 Interstate 850cc, owned since 1992
1969 BSA B44 Shooting Star 441cc, owned since 2001
1970 BSA B44 Victor Special 441cc, owned since 2004
1964 Royal Enfield Bullett 500cc, owned since 2005
1963 Vespa 150 Scooter, owned since 2005
2004 Husqvarna TE510 'Centennial', owned since 2005

Sounds a lot but most are laid up awaiting attention.

Anyway, that's 3 Centennials accounted for, just another 97 to track down!
 
Those old bikes are great. I dont know if i have the patience to rebuild one but they sure look sweet. D1 Mad, I would really like a big picture of those two Huskies together if you dont mind.

Wasn't being snarky or tounge-in-cheek, Coffee, I just had type engaged with brain in neutral. :busted: I'm in agreement about keeping threads on track, hate to wade through too much commentary. Here's a random Husqvarna pic from the interweb, let's keep the good stuff rolling y'all! :cheers:

Bike looks good,you must have a few hours tied up into getting it where it is at now.
 
He has those photos for sale if you want to buy any of them,but you'll have to ask him what the address of the site is because I cant remember.
 
Some of those look like they're lit with a reflector. Maybe a polarizer too.

Either that or he's waiting for just the right sun, in the morning or evening.
