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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

we are all at a few thousand posts, give or take hahahaha...hey its winter...
 
There are about 3 user names that I feel there's a pretty good chance I'll see when I click on the new post notification, yours is one of them. I'll let the other regulars decide amongst themselves who the other two are :thumbsup:
You don't even call me out on my idiocy nearly as much as you probably could/should :cheers:

Sometimes I spend a ton of time here, others, I disappear for a bit, but you're one of the consistent ones...
 
It's winter? It's suppose to be 51 degrees tomorrow.

That's riding weather with the ice screws in.
 
Riding in the winter gave me a chance to test those insulated hunting camos at 10 degrees. I had the ice screws in and the '77 Husqvarna 250wr was registered. I passed one local Harley guy who was shaking his head in disbelief. Ice riding is fun. You can fall with the screws in. It's so cool.

I always wanted a bike studded just for winter riding. I was thinking of making 5/16" diameter hex bolts for studs. Just for a winter ride. An old 70's Suzuki ts bike would be perfect.

dont waste your time with anything but studded tires. ACTUAL studded tires. real ice screws are for racing and can go dull quickly. buy the real deals and they last, just mount them on spare wheels and get them off the bike when theres no snow or ice. not to mention the compound is soft so when its cold they arent rock hard. last two years i have had them mounted on my 95 360 but i pulled them and mounted them on a SWEDE this year..traction is unreal..
