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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

The Rise and Fall of Husqvarna Motorcycles

Dean- thanks for the link. Super good read.
MotoUSA puts out a quality mag. I just subscribed for a year.
Thanks

So the parts packaged with Ducati and Moto Morini on the cardboard are 2002 and earlier. I didn't notice that a lot of the stuff has only had cagiva Mv and Husqvarna. The article seemed to totally omit the large 500 singles similar to BSA gold star Matchless, Velocette etc. I wonder how many of those they sold compared to the others I mentioned.
 
Thanks Dean, that was a very interesting story to read. Very informative about
Husky's great history in the offroad world.
