• 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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've got gas problems

Hey Kyle, do you have any local general aviation airports near you? 100LL Av gas is usually around the same price as 93/91. Smells great and my bikes love it. I mix it approx 50/50 with race gas for my race bike and mix a little into the four stroke can with ethanol treatment to kill the Ecrap.

I sure do have one I drive by daily. Its a possibility for sure and if its as easy a filling up at a regular pump its actually more convenient to get. I've just always wondered how one gets fuel in cans from an airport. I just picture a guy in the lobby with two five gallon cans waiting in line with the other people haha
 
Some places it is very much like that, there is a pump on the ramp and you can pull up to it and pump just like a car gas station. You might need to check your local laws, some states or counties restrict access to aviation fuel to only aircraft, where some there are no restrictions at all. In Florida you just go to the airport, tell them you want 5 or 10 gallons, if they ask what it is for you tell them an ultralight, you fill your cans and go. Georgia will not sell fuel unless it is pumped directly into an aircraft. Most states I would guess are somewhere in between. If you can get access to 100LL AV gas it is an excellent fuel, last a very long time and is typically half the price of "race" gas. I use race gas because its easier for me to get, but if I had easy access to some AV gas that is what I would use. If you can get non-ethanol pump gas, I mix it 50/50 or with race gas 1 gal of race with 2 gallons of pump to make it go farther and lower my cost per gallon. These bikes dont need 110 octane, what these bikes need is around 96-99 octane so mix with pump to get that with the lowest cost per gallon.
 
I carry a 5 gal can across the ramp and fill er up. Guys who hangar their planes there walk up to get gas all the time. It's one of those airports that isn't all fenced up so very easy. The pump needs an N number so I just pick a plane nearby or a couple I have memorized and enter those.
