    Joe may be leaving us as of Today.

    He has given years of free time to help run this site, and is still is a Husqvarna fanatic !

    Great Husky talk session today with Joe, lasted two to three hours.

    He has Huskies in flowing his blood, never debate or bet him on Husqvarna history you will lose.

    This site will not be the same. Repeat this site will never be the same.

    We lost too many of the great posters and moderators here last couple years.

    Well that is going to hurt.

    I just referred someone over to here who is a brand new member from 1 of the other 2 forum's I moderate, He is 62 and wants to get back into riding after purchasing an early Swedish Husky to restore and ride. He wants to take it slowly getting back into this.

    I tried to explain to him that this is the best source of all things Husky with exactly that. A huge community of Knowledge with members who have garages full of Vintage parts who scour the world to find these bikes and bring them back to life.

    However he would have to be patient joining up to benefit from that groups combined knowledge as it takes some time for an approval to get on board. I also told him that the CH web sites Owner "Coffee" is MIA and any lack of patience or complaining about posts not being approved or moderated seem to just stir up the now overworked Moderators we have here, who have full time jobs doing something else, so please be patient.

    I guess I should go back and update him with this sad news.

    I believe Joe said he may check in from time to time on this site. He still a Husky fanatic. He gave lots and lots of free time to us all.

    That's the rub. One knows if we can get a new leader. I think Dirt Dame would be a good one though.
