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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

510 Husky 1984--quick spin in the bush

Motorcycles and Kangaroos are mutually opposing forces in physics and if they come together the results are spectacular! I will round some up for you Michel, I have a flock of about 100 on my block of land...they are thick on the ground......there is even a koala bear there somewhere, it attacked ol mate last year and tried to run up his leg. he managed to push it off while its claws were still on his boots. They don't like 2 strokes apparently.. there is foxes, possums, rabbits, red belly black snakes, copperhead snakes, bluetongue lizards, stumpy tail lizards, legless lizard's wallabies, sugar gliders ...the list goes on. its a veritable Attenborough paradise..... there is even the bird from "Mid Summer Murders" there!
 
Great sounding bike. Looks like it handles well too. Cool video thanks for sharing.

I never got used to riding in the trees. Grew up riding in the desert. Last time I was in the trees my bars caught a small one. It jerked my bars about 10 degrees before straightening out. I didn't go down but I made up my mind right then and there that I didn't like riding in vicinity of trees. :D
