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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Please define "milk bottle" or "milk truck" for me

Everything 83 and up . The " all white " color scheme as opposed to the classic husky color schemes .
I don't think there is and negative connotations to it but I wasn't born untill 4 years later lol

Aha!
When I first saw my '84 TE510 I called it "The StormTrooper"

So are EVO bikes the Monoshock bikes?
 
Yes anywhere but Australia they use the term evo for the single shock bikes. Here Evolution is defined by the MOMS as air cooled, drum braked, twin shock bikes.
 
I never heard of it before internet forums. The frame was silver in 1982. I think the Italian bikes were white for a while, by 1998 I would call the color grey.
 
I think the 83/430 was the best looking bike of the 430.

I remember seeing the 83’s all lined up outside the husky dealership in Torrington.
