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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Post up pictures of your vintage Husqvarna bikes!

'85 xc 500

This is a pic of my 1985 XC500. I love the cushy ride and the eyewatering top speed.

My spot is in "the hollow" wind protected and 3 min trot to the beachbreaks.

'83 WR 430 - had since new. Original condition except obvious wear parts. Ride trails, enduros and race evo class vintage. Broke 4 ribs 6 weeks ago with a evo MX crash on my baby - thank god it didn't get hurt !!! LOL!!
The visually worn parts tell me a story every time I look at it.....:thumbsup:

Just completed, 86 400 XCE

The goal was to re-build to better than new ridding condition. Cosmetics were not a big concern:

Race photos from last weekend

Some Photos from the annual race in my home town of Linköping Sweden.
It is one of the biggest events in Sweden for vintages racing, Motocross, Trail, Roadracing m.m in the same area the whole weekend.
Me and my friend (369, SweHusky) rode in the 500cc pre -74 class.

The man in White to the left in the last picture is actually a former World Champion in Enduro, Peter Hansson. Nice to have top riders next to you at the starting gate :)...

Sorry...only swedish, look at Fotoalbum and 45 årsracet
