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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

My Cat Says AREAR!
Sad to say Ross has Passed. Last Friday the 16th of September 2022. His Wife Rose said:
Chris, I am sorry to say that Ross passed away Sept 16. After a year long battle with cancer he passed peacefully. Ross's wife, Rose, is sending you this message.
I have Chatted with him over the Years but never met him, and when he put up the ad for Husky Parts I told him I would Buy them All! That was in March. I was going to get them in person in late July when I was going to Montana to check out some Property my Brother and I bought, but found out that you needed to be Vaccinated to get into Canada!! I am Not Vaccinated and Never Will Be!!
So I called 50 or so people up there and finally found Owen who owns Valley Pallet Plus. He went to Ross' place and Picked up the parts. Ross was in the hospital so his wife Rose, Told him what to take. The parts are crated and waiting for export now! What a PITA!! I told Rose that We are Praying for Him and Her! I'll see you on the other side Ross!!:( Chris
