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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

I recently purchased a stack of old motorcycle magazines mostly from the 70s and 80s each of which had a Husky related article. I've been working my way through them and thoroughly enjoying reminiscing about everything dirt bike from an era long ago. I know that when I buy a new bike I search out reviews from the past so I thought I'd share the Husky articles. Then I went further and decided I wanted to create a database of reviews and such so I searched the internet and found more reviews. So what I've done is compile a list of articles in pdf format that I'm sharing with other enthusiasts. They are hi-res and will take a short amount of time to open. So please take a look and enjoy.

I had some that were scanned on at much lower resolution and those were often a waste of time even with photoshop trying to add more resolution.

thank you very much for your time doing this! great quality
 
I will add that submissions are gladly welcome. I used an app on my phone that worked pretty well. Please send me a PM if you need assistance.
 
I have found that it seems as though 1978 WRs were not tested. I realize of course that even Husqvarna emphasis was on motocross inspite of Dick Burleson's dominance in national enduro competition and the string of ISDT/ISDE gold medals he pulled in between 1974 thru 1981.

You can send me the pdf. My email is on the page I linked.

To link it yourself, like I did in the first post, you need to upload the file to a server (it helps to have your own domain name) then type the name of the link (I used 'Husky articles'). Select the link words and in the tool bar above when you type a post click on the link button (looks like a chain) and paste in the page address that you want to link. Again, you need to have your pdf uploaded to a server.
 
Just an update. The list of magazine articles has grown to 45 thanks to jimspac and I still have about 10 more to scan and add. Jimspac also contributed the complete set of Husky Club Newsletters (Husqvarna Report) and those are also available through the link above. A big thanks to jimspac!
