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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

A moment of silence for one of our members...

Please take a moment to bow your heads in silence in support of one of our members who has an incurrable and malignant disease. Even with nightly support meetings at the local HA (Husqvarna Anonymous), once again he's fallen off the bike trailer and purchased yet another Husky just a couple days ago.
Scott (Husq.fleet)...our prayers are with you as you go through these trying times. You have the luck of the Irish. Pictures would be appropriate at this turning point!

Hello everyone my name is Scott. It has been brought to my attention that I may have a problem. Old Geezer whom I'll refer to as "OG" has very obviously shown an extreme case of "bike envy" and I'm going to jump in and try to intervene. He thinks just because I got busted for stalking the bikini girl in the 1982 CR250 poster that have a problem? OG also thinks nine Husky's are too much, heh only three are rideable, geez Geeze who had the problem:excuseme:

On a serious note as I have said before hauling a Husky around leads to more! At local track Sunday am and guy comes over to look at my 82 CR250 and ends up telling me he knows were another one is and can be had pretty cheap. I say "cool" let me know. He shows up at my house Monday evening with it. He was nice enough to go get it from his friend who just gave it to him! I ended up knowing the family that gave it to him and have known their life struggles. I sent him back with a $250 check.

So what is it? 1982 250XC with headlight and WR rear fender. It is a very low hour bike with hardly a rockchip in the lower frame paint. Engine is siezed, clear gas in tank-no pre-mix. Brand new tires, only two small dings in tank. Pegs have no noticeable wear. Bonus was seeing it also had a Asche pipe on it also! Not even a small rock ding or nothing in it. Forks still have the factory crosshatch in them that hasn't been worn off with the seals/grit either. Checked shocks, no leaks and still charged. Pics below were as it showed up, weeds and a few yellowjackets. Throw a Husky in the truck for bait and go "fishing"

The first step is admitting you have a problem. Personaly I think there are worse things a guy could succumb to.....

...........................Yeah, marriage, cost cannot be measured in bikes, perhaps huskydoggg stashes and collections :banghead: Lol
 
Just call me the Green Old Geezer:oldman:...green with envy in that I don't have a single running Husky (yet, but soon:banghead:), let alone 9 of them. I'm gonna try Scott's trolling method and just load the bike in the back of the truck for a few weeks and see how many hits I get.

Where can I get a copy of that bikini girl in the 1982 CR250 poster? If I'm gonna go trolling, maybe I can use that as an acceptable target in lieu of another Husky.
 
Not the Bikini shot but one of Siege's!

Really, that's kind of the look, like the gears are turning. What does she ride now? An 80 or 105, or one of those CRF150's I think they are. Those look like good bikes, for what they are.

She's 10 and has been riding a Yamaha TTR 125 since 9. She can give most kids her age on RM 85's a run!
 
That's pretty cool. Sounds like she might have another bike in her future. Do you have a specific bike in mind for her next one, or does she have one she's pushing for?
 
I dont know. She has showed interest in motocross but I haven't pushed it-at all. She's cautious and not a real competitve kid and neither of those are "positives" out on the track. If someone ahead of her crashed she would probably stop and see if they are ok.
We ride in the mountains alot in the summer and she enjoys that a little better than the MX track. We usually take a couple of other kids along and their bikes which is more fun than going lap after lap in the dusty track.
I think she'll stick with a four stroke when the time comes to go to a bigger bike.
 
Sounds like she enjoys it atleast, in the trail riding outdoors family fun sense. Which is great, and a heck of alot safer & cheaper.

I love MX, but really my roots are in trail riding, and doin it with friends and occasionally family too. Lots of fun no matter how or where in my book. Just neat to see younger ones interested, as I was, and just getting to have the experience. As I've later learned, many never ride at all.
