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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

It's pretty, but it looks like Husky has everyone running scared?

And no I'm a Husky guy... just thought it was of interest.

That's blasphemy. Jap motor in a Spanish frame. What's next?

GasGas use to re-badge Husqvarna motorcycles as their own around 1990-1992.

I always thought that was somewhat of interest.
 
GasGas has been developing their own 250F motor. It's not quite ready yet, so rather than launch it prematurely they decided to use some surplus Yamaha engines. GasGas worked a deal with Yamaha to buy a limited number of engines. Tentatively, GasGas will be making approx. 500 bikes.

From early reports (CycleNews recently did a report too), these bikes are really nice. The engine characteristics compliment the excellent GG handling characteristics. So you get a very reliable Yamaha engine (from a 250F standpoint) and the great handling chassis of the GG bikes. It's a win-win situation in my opinion. Note: It also gets the new frame that GG released for 2010... looks like two perimeter frames stacked on top of each other (cross section is like a double O). Cool stuff!

The only downside... people will call it a Gasaha or Yamagas. :(
