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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Home town contact.

Pro Class
Today I had the opportunity to meet a guy who grew up in the same home town (population of 54000 at the time) as I did, who also rode bikes back then, went to the same secondary school as I did, yet we seemingly never crossed paths (that either of us recall anyway) and his very gracious partner.
Good bloke with good taste in dirt bikes and cars, no intention of giving up riding any time soon (from what i could tell) and a multiple Husqvarna owner.
Thank you John (Surprize) for your hospitality and allowing me to peruse your 400WR and 510TE among others.
I hope to catch up again with John at a Vinduro event and recall old mutual friends over a beer or 17!

Sounds like my good friend in High School Drew, we rode together, hung out & he finally moved away right after he graduated.

We talked again 30+ years later, like we had only stopped talking a week before. Motorcycles are a wonderful thing :applause: and
can bond us together more then we may at 1st relies.

Agreed ruwfo, I am still good friends with guys I rode dirt bikes with decades ago! The interesting thing is that I bumped into John here on CafeHusky, it sure is a small world these days, the internet has also got me back in touch with people I hadn't seen for many years as well.

was good to catch up Tony, my brain cells are fried but I do now recall your presence at school, particularly at baseball. I intend to do the Yass vinnie nxt year so I will make sure I call you before.

get that 400 going...
 
No luck with the guy in Bridge St, still looking for a clutch basket. I think I will just order the one from up north.
 
hey, I just had a thought. I know a bloke who is a husky nut (had 50 of em at one stage) I will try and contact him on another forum and see if he has one. I will see him at Blackwood next weekend most probably. i'll txt if I have any luck. cheers
 
Hi,
I see JDK at Coffs Harbour was wrecking a 93 350 four stroke left kicker, although I didn't see the clutch listed on ebay. Could be worth a call?
 
Update on that contact I was checking up on was that he didn't show on the weekend so no idea whats happened to that clutch. I will chase him up Tony. cheers
