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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Thanks to Coffee! New Vintage Forum

Dean,

Just a quick note on a very busy weekend to express my sincere thanks for the establishment of a specific forum for discussion on the Vintage Era bikes. Thanks for including LEFT KICKERS in the Title..... truly a tribute to this era of bike. I know that Joe Chod will love the Title!

While other forums exist, they are largely social chats. I hope that this can become a forum for good , detailed and documented tech tips , parts sources, and information from days gone by. At the same time, I hope that it can lure in some of the guys from the other Husky Sites that have the experience and knowledge of this past era. I also hope that this can become a forum for guys to document and showcase their bikes, their Husky passions and Husky Racing exploits and legends!

Thanks, Tim
 
You are most welcome. :)



Let me know what else you might need, we have a really big sandbox to play in if needed.

I do have a question though... do you consider older bikes with a left kicker vintage?

Guess I'm not sure what the definition of vintage Husqvarna is. It can be whatever we want on this site, doesn't need to meet anyone else's definition, whatever is easy/simple.
 
I'll say thanks too, as I've been learning about the older bikes and Husqvarna through Edison Dye played a huge role in bringing MX to the US.
