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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

AHRMA Race Video

Really enjoyed that, I rode every lap with you from the comfort of my sofa. Had me on the edge of my seat getting around that thumper. Good job.
 
Yes. Race days like this keep the addiction going! The bike is a MK frame with a GP250 motor.

was going to say it sounded like it was getting off and on the pipe like a 250...sounds like it running and dialed pretty well.
 
Did you see the custom seat on that 360 Yamaha @ 9:21?

I'd agree a little too dust
 
Great video. Thanks for sharing. Great looking bike, as well! Man, that thumper could really pull away. Also, a good job with the GoPro. So many videos are aimed at the ground right in front of the bike. You had the angle just right.
 
nice work. why didn't you go wide on the off camber up the hill bit (Like you did on the last lap), you could have carried good speed around that next corner where the 4 banger was braking every lap...I was yelling at the end "go wide here....idiot!:)"

looked like a ton of fun. bikes sounds great

I hear what your saying. Given the off-camber nature of the hill and corner the low line never developed. Hitting it at speed would put you way to the inside of the following right. The low line was super duffy and robbed all your power. Everyone took the high line and as it packed down it was the faster line. Also, given that I hadn't ridden this bike in a year, I was not riding as loose as I could have. My goal in that section was not to make a mistake and stall the bike. More time on the bike would also probably have meant better starts. This bike has way more potential that I was able to give on this day.
 
Thanks for the warning (Indian war cry?) when you guys passed me on that uphill right hand turn!
Love watching the video and seeing the difference between expert level and intermediate level..
