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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Big News!! Mike Brown to Husqvarna.

Just look at this years Baja 1000 KTM line up and you might just see a few names that should {note the word should}, nothing in print yet be moving over to Husky. Hands down the fastest rider in Baja and the desert is Kendal Norman followed by Kurt Caselli.
Ivan Ramirez is young and already a Factory KTM rider. As you stated Brown is moving over to Husky but Brown really only does selected races and Endurocross these days.Caselli is moving up to international Rallies but I am sure he will be back state side to do a few west coast races.I would hope Husky puts Kendal and his Red Bull sponsors on a Husky. He has won the Baja many times along with the AMA National Hare and Hounds. So I would think Husky would want him more then KTM to promote the new offroad Husky
There are a few other guys down there helping the KTM team that should also be on a Husky but until some one else says it first or it is in a press release I know nothing. A lot of other fast guys rode for the old Husky
team under Zip Ty Racing but left for different reasons. I really douth they will be picked. How ever there are a few green color bike riders looking for work. There is a hint
 
With the way Brown has run this year he may have the first Husky number 1 at the start of next season. If nothing else, it's exciting to see that Husky isn't being treated like KTM's bastard. While I'm going to miss the other bikes I'm excited to see where Husky is in a couple years
