Yes this is true, just got the news from Steve last weekend.

 

[troy deck]

so WTH do we do now is the new owner startin it back up?

 

[Kartwheel68]

That really sucks. Steve was a great parts source.

Yea I was looking for a 68 tooth clutch basket for a 390.Anyone have one,any condition?

 

[Bigbill]

Ebay?

That's bad news. We're losing motorcycle dealers here too. I hope it's not a trend.

Remember when the bottom fell out with all the .com's years ago?
The economy isn't so stable again today. Seeing places going out of business or advertising for business or begging isn't good.

Just when I thought the husqvarna Swedish parts improved.

Sad, but still lots of parts sources. Do we know the reason, was it purely financial?

 

[Erik Italhusky]

Less and less dealers are focussing on the old Husky's.
In Europe there are like 4 parties still focussing on the Italian husky's.

Me (Italhusky.com), our importer, the german importer and an Italian dealer.

You don't go carry anything for mid 90s 350?

Not in stock. But I can get my hands on a lot of stuff. It just takes a little bit of time,
First I check if the factory has stock.
After that I check the german importer which has quite a stock.
After that I check the Italian party which focusses mainly on pre-2000 and vintage Husky parts.

Steve will be missed. He was always willing to help while searching for that elusive part. Fair pricing, great packaging, and quick shipping. He was my first to go-to parts source. I wish him best of luck in his new endeavors.

Yes he will be missed. He had a great passion for these race bikes. I think he still does, but more to life than just bikes.

Real reason is he wants to travel maybe just do something
else for a while. he was even going to sell his home. I am trying to get in touch.

He talked about doing this whole change in Jan. But had no idea he was going to do this so fast. Thats fast.

We will miss him.

It is a rough business to depend on it for a living. I prefer doing it in my sparse spare time now. It is difficult to make consistent money on discretional hobbies like vintage motorcycle where most of us work at it when we have the time to do as much as we can prior to parting with our hard earned money

 

[jo360]

wish him all the best, good guy helped me out and great service.

 

[troy deck]

so did he sell everything to someone else???

 

[auto]

I got the impression it was a complete sell off to another party.

 

[troy deck]

well i hope that party comes to r party

 

[GaryM]

Dont want to get into to much, but was he told not to post on this site about his business. so he left this site

That was from the owner. It was not from our great moderator guys we have here. Thats all I will say.

He is doing great. Talked with Steve on phone yesterday. All bikes parts are sold and on to new undisclosed owner.

He was pleasantly surprised to here about all the nice comments from all you cafe guys.

He has some fantastic new plans, travel etc.

I think we deserve to hear an explanation from the "owner" about this.
