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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

I guess you're right but I was referring to an old vintage name that we old guys are familiar with.

I know the AJPs are cool too you are proving that singlehandedly and single track as well. You take some good pictures too while out there.

Hope they are selling quite well, if so they will become familiar to us all too.

The more European variety to choose from the better.

Good or bad, I wouldn't be caught dead riding, or even pay attention to any Japanese bikes personally, so I have always liked the options.
 
Roger De Coster entered the international scene on the CZ Team with Joel Robert and Sylvian Geboers (Go bears).
Then he was snatched up by Suzuki to develop the bikes that would put them on the world map in MX. Sound familiar?

They always looked so primitive and cool. Had there own sound too.
 
Yes I'd agree and say there is and was a price requirement to buy a true exotic.

Back in the days of buying a few of my Vintage Maico's in the mid to late 70's. I could have bought damned near 2 Honda's for the price of a new 400 Maico. Or damned close.

The Maico's seemed to have about 1/2 as many total parts as well when completely disassembled as it was designed to have 1 part or each bracket do more than 1 thing. Which led to less parts breakage. Nothing cheap on them. No stamped gusseting or bracing anywhere either on the frames like the cheap Jap bikes had, just simplicity and great craftsmanship.

I kind of got into the welding trade itself repairing Jap bikes in High School long before I had a drivers license.

Long before that, When I was about 10 to 12 years old, I myself always paid extra to ride a "Schwinn Stingray" bicycle too, while I just laughed at anyone riding a "Huffy".

My parents never bought me a bicycle when I was a kid and I never had a paper route to earn the money either. I walked with my dignity and pride until I saved the cash to buy my own Schwinn's.

I still remember the serial numbers of these bikes to this day. The one that got stolen was #LD 19236. I got it back a week later and kicked the guys ass. Then he was doing the walking, with a limp I might add
 
Dad raced one back in the day. Told me there was a bolt on the bottom of the engine to drain gas out of it when it flooded, which was supposedly not uncommon. In fact I own the van that he originally bought to haul it in bank in 70'. Still use it for riding and racing, and camping to this day.
