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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Husky challenge- air cooled team races

Husqvarna
AA Class
Well, team OTBG made it through the first 6hr team race with no mechancical issues. We ran my 83 500cr, 83 250xc, 86 510 enduro, and my friends 81 490 Maico.

Let Chris Conway ( Oregon AA rider) start on his dad's 490, came through way up front. From there we had an uneventfull ride, other than my 13 year old grandson coming in twice with leg cramps.

The old Huskies performed flawlessly while our Maico is fighting an airleak/jetting issue.

We also ran a modern team with the same riders, trading off between the new and old.

Sure made the modern bike feel good after a couple of laps on the old stuff.

Highlight: After the race, the winning open AM team captain complained about me blowing by him on one of the old bikes.

Lowlight: Video on Thumpertalk posted by 30expert on his 2011 Husky 125 , reeling me on the 510 and just blowing by me in a tighter section.

Calling out anyone with air cooled bikes that want to see how they do and how you compare to a modern bike/rider.

Next race is the 12hrs of Starvation Ridge, April 30th.

I dont call out anyone at anytime. I once did that and got my ass handed to me by a 10y/o on an 85.

Where's the vid of the 125 pulling you?
