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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Tosten Hallman Bike?

Torsten Hallman Steve - yes, it could be a bike that I used. During the races in the States I was using standard “out of he box bikes“. I didn´t do any special tuning or used any special parts so there are no differences to production Husqvarna.
 
yep I figured it.....unless there are special recorded numbers by those legends for the bikes they rode....any mook can claim a "race bike" and find a s*ker...1 born everyday...

if he hadn't said lost and found, I would have believed every word....

im a skeptic as a bloke I know has a pic of a Ferrari on his wall...he is an upholsterer. I quizzed him and he said "it was mine for 6 months!"(back in the 1980's).

the story goes..."a mate said lets go to this clearing sale on a farm"...where said mate convinced him to go halves in a "Barn Lot"... under the hay..a Ferrari :eek: ..how good was that (50 bucks)

it had caught fire in the arse end and needed some work ....

he did it up and spent time hooning around (he was a good wheelman)
I said "did you sell it for a squillion bucks...???" chr*st knows what it was worth then.

this is the rub...his "mate" had pre arranged a sale with a nameless person for literally costs + 10 percent!

Clearly "nameless person" new exactly where this car was and cleverly rebirthed it with a 50 dollar receipt!!

I understand "nameless" is no longer with us so I feel its ok to relate this tale.

the really funny bit is they were driving it down to "nameless" when they gave it the berries up a good hill and did a "webber" over the top!

it landed on its arse and then back on its wheels...they had to buy another arse end piece and straighten some tubes....

so there ....why I am sceptical about sudden appearances of sought after machinery....

oops thread hijack!!! sort of
 
If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck then it's probably a duck.....or a stock Husky that is not worth $19k just because someone famous may or may not have ridden it once. Certainly not a works bike. Still for a fair price it would be a good addition to someone's collection.
