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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

You guys good with this thread here in the industry section? We can move it if not. I have alot of Euro mags and books and I thought scanning some of the adverts, especially the older ones would be fun for all to check out. I will try to name the riders, but from the start I don't all who is who.
Start with Kari Tiainen on the 1991 WR250 World Champion bike. Advert is for Adige

if that top picture is '91, he's riding a pre-production '92. The '92 was first year for aluminum subframe and dzus fastener seat.
 
thanks Norman, for those that dont know, it's common practice for the WEC factory teams to debut the following years bikes about 1/2 way into the season.

I have some 2 page adverts but will only get 1/2 +1/2 in 2 different fotos. I may play with those they are nice ones.
 
Very cool ads. I have the 1994 Enduro book with the ISDE being in Oklahoma and the Nevada Rally. Kinda funny how 1/2 of the book is in Italian and the other half is in English.
 
Husky USA had the cream of the crop in offroad racers in the mid 80s!! All still can rail (been eyewitness to that with some of them). 1986 wow, I had an 86 510TX aircooled thumper, single shock (and I am still slow after all these years!!).
