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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

So sorry - say it ain't so Joe - you will be missed

Joe may be leaving us as of Today.

He has given years of free time to help run this site, and is still is a Husqvarna fanatic !

Great Husky talk session today with Joe, lasted two to three hours.

He has Huskies in flowing his blood, never debate or bet him on Husqvarna history you will lose.

This site will not be the same. Repeat this site will never be the same.

We lost too many of the great posters and moderators here last couple years.
 
Well that is going to hurt.

I just referred someone over to here who is a brand new member from 1 of the other 2 forum's I moderate, He is 62 and wants to get back into riding after purchasing an early Swedish Husky to restore and ride. He wants to take it slowly getting back into this.

I tried to explain to him that this is the best source of all things Husky with exactly that. A huge community of Knowledge with members who have garages full of Vintage parts who scour the world to find these bikes and bring them back to life.

However he would have to be patient joining up to benefit from that groups combined knowledge as it takes some time for an approval to get on board. I also told him that the CH web sites Owner "Coffee" is MIA and any lack of patience or complaining about posts not being approved or moderated seem to just stir up the now overworked Moderators we have here, who have full time jobs doing something else, so please be patient.

I guess I should go back and update him with this sad news.
 
I believe Joe said he may check in from time to time on this site. He still a Husky fanatic. He gave lots and lots of free time to us all.
 
That sucks. I hope it wasn't the pestering from new members that brought this about. But many many thanks to DirtDame for stepping into the breach for us all.:thumbsup:
 
Shit nuts that royally sucks monkey plums.

Sad to hear your leaving Joe.
If we could get admins DD that would be awesome, I'm not holding out much hope tho.
