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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Welcome to the forum! Introduce yourself here!

Thanks!

Hey, I never even looked here till know.
Name:
PALMER84ONE or P84ONE for short. Father of 6, husband to 1 = 8, One = creator, 4 = for and we are the PALMERS. I try.
Coffee, glad to have followed you to your site and thanks for having me. I am a recovering Hondaholic. Still have them because one bike is never...well...you know...enough.
First Husky:
08TE450 from Uptite, yes, I am one lucky buzzard to have him 15 miles away. and happy about that too. "Not to say someone out there is not his equal." But I am happy.

Thanks and hellow to all the (other site "TT" followers),

Gary
 
Welcome Palmer, it's ok, I've got 2 Hondas in the garage at the moment keeping the Husky company.

Hi,
I thought I had recovered, but fell once again to the allure of Husqvarna.
Recently purchased and ride an '08 TE510. I have previously owned and raced new Sveedish Huskys: 1975 CR250 and 1977 CR390, in SRAC moto-x (Colorado). Yes I was younger then, and I only wished I still had both bikes!

Hey ya'll. I live in Colorado and am new to huskies, just purchased a very nice '06 TE610 back in March and been riding the hell out of it. I also have a set of SUMO wheels for it but they are up for sale now since I like more off road and away from cars.. :)
 
Look at our own special space here isolated from all the riff raff and distractions...how civilized. Thanks for creating this coffee.

I've got the 07 TE250 with a 300 kit in it.
 
Hello

Just want to say Hi to all Husky friands.
I just became a "member" of this fantastic Husky page. I started to work as an R&D engineer at the Husqvarna factory in early 70'th. Won the US 125 GP in Saint Louis 1973,( I think it was). Raced the US Nationals in MX a few years + a Baja 500 win.
I was quite involved in everything regarding Husky's from 1970 to 1980.I have have some part and books laying around, let me know what you need. Maybe I can help you:)

Arne I've been thinking about what to say to you... I just cannot come up with anything.... so I'll just start typing...

Thank you ever so much for joining this site, it means a lot to me. Hope you comeback to keep us in line at least occasionally. Pretty awesome talking to the another ex-R&D engineer, difference is I never worked in the motorcycle industry... I do however know that an R&D engineer has a tremendous amount of input on the end product, of course they are always being held back by minor things like "reality" & the laws of physics.

Also thank you for your kind offer about some books. I'm getting the impression you understate things so you may have some really good stuff... Hopefully "HuskyT" our hands on vintage enthusiast will see your kind offer and send a message your way.

Please come back when you can Arne. :)
 
Great site - thanks for the effort to get it going. Had 4 husqvarnas shape my motorcycle skils (or lack there of), '78WR250 '79CR390 '87TE510 (wish I still had it) and my current rides '06TE250 and a '04 Honda Transalp XLV650 - saludos from chile

Yeah - he "understates"......at the time HVA, AB sold off motorcycle production and a brand license to Cagiva, he was the president of Husqvarna USA. Returned to Sweden where he subsequently took up residence as the VP, Marketing for Highland Motors AB [Now Highland Group, AB], also home to a couple other Husky/Husaberg veterans. Is the fount of knowlege for all things Husky from the late 50's to '80 or so.

"And now, you know the rest of the story."
 
Count me in!

Coffee,

Thanks for setting up our own website. I thought you did an outstanding job at TT and look forward to the growth of this website under your guidance.

Welcome Sierra NV Pale Ale, Seahorse, and honard!


I suppose Stapleking is welcome too.... LOL.


Thanks for joining up, I've got plans for this site and think it should work really well for archiving the information - all kinds of good information, and I'm going to add my own stuff as well.


There are some really really great forums out there but the really good information gets buried under all the newer posts - so it's a bit hard to find.

Honard - did you get the welcome PM with a link to this thread?

Sure did Coffee. Thank you.
 
Coffee,

This site Rocks!!! I have two 73 RT models 250 and 360, 75 360 GP, 76 360 WR, Two 87 430 Crs, 91 250 WXE, and a 94 360 WXC

Thanks,
Guy
 
My name is Mike and I own a 07 TE450.

Reason is I didn't want a XR650 and that was the only option in 9/06, nothing else out there was decent (light weight) to own if I wanted to street it and go OR. KTM wasn't street legal until 07...

Thanks Coffee
 
Welcome Riksha, photoguy_43420, and marks139.

That is the same line of reasoning for getting my TE250.
