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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Bike too old to ride the Baja 1000? Maybe not...

This is a pic from last year, sorry it's not a Husky but it finished, unlike three of the four Husky's entered. Anybody up to putting a Husky up front this year?

If I had brass balls it would be very helpfull -

They would work wonders as my wife would have a much harder time time trying to crush them as she explained why she would rather I NOT try riding 1000 miles on any of my vintage dirt bikes ....

Apart from that I am 100% up for it :)
 
When I stopped entering bikes for this section it cost $35 for an enduro post entery and $17 for a turkey run with no suprise parking donation. What portion of the folks who wander around this portion of the internet would be comfortable with $1000 entry fees?

Maybe somebody or entity who can call it a business expense sees it differently.

Yow! They need some vintage prices to go with that race.

I remember having to shell out 20 whole bucks to race the Elsinore Grand Prix in 1972, and I thought that was outrageous for an event like that. It was bad enough having to pay 5 bucks for the regular weekend MX races.:busted:

It's not so much a race as an adventure. A traveling circus racing down the peninsula for three days with overnight stops in some of the most beautiful places baja has to offer. I think of it as a vacation on wheels, what could be better :applause:
