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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

what's the "GP" mean?

I would think "Grand Prix" That was what the international races were called, or GP, which at that time were considered the premier races of the time. Husqvarna bikes were close to what the factory riders were on. Just a guess. Jeff
 
It means Grand Prix which in reference to Husky is to say that the '75 GPs were a copy of Mikkola's '74 works bike.
 
The hare scrambles are not gp races?

The catalina Iland race is a GP race?
The elsinore is a GP race?

Is a gp race on asphalt and dirt?
 
A GP in the western US is a race of multiple laps,sometimes very long laps, with some part pavement and most on dirt, usually with the start and finish in a town or on a pavement race track. Hare scrambles are eastern US races of shorter laps on all dirt. A GP anywhere else in the world is a World Championship Grand Prix which could be motocross, road racing, or car racing.
