• 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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'm in discussions of selling a Penton basket case to someone across country. I would be sending basically everything on the bike but the wheels / tires. What would be the recommended way to do this?

My first thought is to box everything then put it on a pallet and wrap it all together. Anyone have any experience with this? Recommend a company to use?

Thanks,
Matt
 
I bought a bike that way once. The seller got a crate from a bike shop and re used it. Generally the bike fits in with the front wheel and handlebars not in the normal place. I used the mail and sent a check. You and the recipient have to go the the trucking companies yard on either end. It was only like $150 coast to coast but I think that company now wants you to use their crates and leave the thing together and charge three times as much. It was forwardair or something close to that.
