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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

They look like 4 completely different bikes. Is that a 125 2st in the first pic? Where is the expansion chamber? :confused:
 
The top 2 are the same bikes. 125 4 strokes. The next 2 are different bikes that i found interesting.

Those orange and white rims... ick.

Wheels painted like that look cool when they're spinning, though.

The KTM looks like a Monster clone, but it looks good except for the shorty tail. Never been a fan of having the rear tire out there all alone with nothing over it.

The TransAlp was about 20 years ahead of its time here in America. Same with the NX's, I think. The "all-new" TransAlp should sell better than the old one. It looks like they're using the same swingarm from 1986, though :lol:

I'll bet that Transalp doesn't see American shores.

Yep, I fear you may be right.

It's too bad the XT660 Tenere will probably never make it over here, either.

We now have the tenere after a 2+ year hiatus. The Tenere and Transalp are all dressed up and nowhere to go in my opinion. The promise escape from the bitumen but can't really deliver. Thats why I am so excited to read the first reports of the new TE 630-she looks glam but hope the true dual sport outcome remains.
 
Those two KTM’s look like a whole latta fun, are they the ones that being made in India (engine)? :excuseme:
The Transalp looks like it’s incapable of carrying its own weight :cripple:
And the Derbi looks sweet :cool:

:thumbsup:
