• 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 just picked this up last week. This will take some work but for the most part it is all there. I used to ride/race these back when they were new and this is my first restoration project. Any advice and information will be greatly appreciated. Wish me luck.PICT1156.JPGPICT1158.JPG
 
Good luck, take your time and don't get in a rush.
Get a hold of Steve at www.huskydoggg.com he's in Canada to. Great guy to deal with, very knowledgable and has lots of new and used parts.
Be glad to help any way I can.

Thanks KLOC and Ron. I appreciate the encouragement. Ron how are things in Azusa? I grew up in Monrovia and moved up here 20 years ago. My dad was actually born in Azusa and lived on one of the old orange ranches that were down below foothill. I do miss the riding out in the desert...here it is mostly woods riding. Thanks again for the encouragement.
 
No more orange groves, all houses and shopping centers now.
I got to ride in the woods a little back in 2008 at the ISDT-Reunion ride. It was a blast. When I got back to the desert, it was kind of boring.
