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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Hey Michel, I chased a huuuugge roo for nearly a Km down the track until he tripped and cartwheeled at 60Km/hr finishing up in a huge cloud of dust, sticks, and leaves :eek: ....must have hurt! but worst of all.....I didn't have the go pro****************************************
 
Great pics. I wish I rode in those years when they were new. My co-workers all rode and raced in those years. I listen to there stories from the late 70's and early 80's. How are the kangaroos to ride?
Just kidding all the guys here are blessed not to live where we live. We don't have much in riding areas here in the northeast.(USA) the guys in the west in California have it made. But awesome pics you posted on the bikes.
 
Hi JC,
I nearly got one as well, a mob of about 12 all ready to give me a run, full noise in 4th gear, stepped off gas real quick, locked everything up and narrowly missed a big male as it clipped front guard.

Great event !
 
damn one of those could :censored: ur day do you have deer to one of those took the front end off of one of DB3s buddies car last night there all over this time of year trying not to get shot :thumbsdown: and get laid:thumbsup: all at the same time :eek: tuff 2 be deer:lol:
 
ol mate who is Hodaka happy recently attended the big Hodaka love in over in Oregon I think.

he was riding his thunderdog thru the pines last sunday thinking it was just like Oregon when a huge deer jumped out in front of him..woke him up a bit. Beufort Raglan is a deer sanctuary and there is plenty around.
 
I have film of a middle sized roo leaning on my right knee as I'me trying to slow down.
Kept yelling at him to go away but he wasn't listening.
Kept trying to push him away but he just kept coming back.
He ran with me until he could overtake and slip across in front.
Had another run into me at 100k on my DRZ on the tar , he went in just behind my knee [ lucky ] and headbutted my saddle bag which exploded. Scary one that.
 
You are a lucky man there...ol mate took one on the front forks which displaced the front wheel and replaced it with his head and collarbone. Helmets work..he wished he had body armour on!

you can always tell if a roo shows up when we go riding, you can see the crankcase on his bike as he has hit the skids so hard....:p
