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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

And it was just starting to be the riding season.....

I have fought back issues for the last ten years. Last summer I was down for six weeks with back issues and missed most of the prime riding season. Well things were going good and getting stronger, gym/swimming three days a week. I was doing some leg extensions in the gym and when I got up my right leg and hip felt "weird" thought it was muscle. It was still a PIA a week later so I went to see my Doc. and explained what I was doing and he gave me the "look". He said that exersise puts too much stress on your low back and I probably blew my bad disc out worse, nice........ A month later after some injection therepy its no better. MRI showed disc is completely ruptured. Surgeon wants to see me this week for a consul. I have five weeks of school left ( I teach mechanical tech. at the comm. college). toughing it out until school gets out. Dang it! I only got two rides in this spring so far. Getting old takes all the fun out of it, here at 44 and 280lbs I was hoping to still make it to the Supercross podium? My summer vacation should be filled with pain killers and therepy instead of the sweet smell of two stroke fumes!
 
damn, that's a bummer :(

i'm nervous to fully kick this season off... had dics issues the past two years. herniated a lower disc Nov '09, then another in my neck end of July '10. got a MX race end of this month and neither of my Huskys (or me!) are ready yet.

hope your consultation with the surgeon goes well! good luck.
 
Ugghhhhhhhhh! Well at least you can come up and see us this summer. We'll sit on the pontoon boat and enjoy the sunshine and pull the kids around on the tube.
 
I've got a good bench project for you to whittle away at...!

Sorry to hear about the back.. that does suck!
