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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

2019 ISDE Portugal

Just opening a thread. The conditions that will be ridden in Portugal favor our squad for the most part. Plus they have been training in the South West to mimic local course terrain conditions.
Australia will also be feeling it and they have brought up the Minotauro as an alternate for one of their injured (Matt Phillips) trophy team members.
For the vintage/vet ISDE class all votes are the Italian team of world champions and world trophy winners, Sala, Rinaldi and Passeri.
My bet is on Stefano Passeri for the vet OA. He is very current on the Italian vintage circuit and rides more than most current era riders! (that's from local Bergamo insider info)
 
Multi time ISDE vet and Gold medalist extraordinaire Fred Hoess will be on a vintage HUSKY representing the (himself) USA for 2019. Hope he shows well!! He is capable of the OA among very stiff vet vintage ITDE (3 day) competition. Go Fred!!
 
Got the news today, local pro racer, 2019 NHHA champ, and fellow 100s MC member Jacob Argubright was out with engine trouble. Though he's on Kawi and on the privateer path after splitting with Rock Star Husqvarna, he's a great guy and it's a real bummer.
 
Turned out to be a great year for the US.
New England represented well with Ben Kelley and Josh Toth coming up big!
