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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Nice to see you're using leathers :) I went back to wearing mine many years ago. It doesn't hurt so much with them when you fall off.
 
Great pic, Alfie. What IS IT about maroon tank Husky's???
That Chuck... still looking super fit. Must hit the elliptical every day.
 
This is a picture from 1 of 22 Races I raced in AMA D37 Desert. I raced the 50A class against modern bikes and came out 6th on the year.

Too much fun............. The bike is a 1975 CR360 with a GP tank on it for the fuel range needed for the desert.

Steve... Thanks. Yes that is a '89 ATK 406, I also have a '91 ATK250. Those bikes are favorites for sure.
The big Husky is very capable. King Richard's involvement is no doubt partly responsible for it's versatility.
My riding buddy has a '84 WR400 which makes an interesting comparison.
