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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

"Dakar" 2010

Maybe i missed something but as far as i can tell no Americans racing Dakar this year.

There is one Husky. Racer #126 from Brazil. Its his first Dakar.

My money is on Frans the dutchman on the BMW. He won the Marathon Class in '06 and has been a steady factory KTM guy for a few years now. He's a crasher, but if the dakar demons are at bay, he could do it. Of course, whoever wins dakar will need lots of luck.

Nice to see a Sherco with the #3 plate! Sherco has a small but dedicated Dakar passion. Wouldnt that be something if Sherco wins.

My old baja teammate Annie Seel will finish 19th overall. :)

Restrictor plates this year for the big bikes (gee, i wonder if there will be any cheating...) and then next year its 450cc only.
 
You heard of Jonah Street thats who racing for rally panam he's local to me. He won one of the stages last year then went out with a wrist injury too bad he was in third place. This year will be interesting for sure with everyone running the restrictor plates. Should level the playing field.
 
Two Americans listed so far, 6 BMW's, one lone HSQ and about 60+ KTM's and almost 30 Yamahas and 30 Hondas. Looking forward to more BMW presence and surprised there isn't more HSQ's as both have shown to have very reliable 450's over the long haul. HSQ is defnitely a little more buzzy for endurance riding, but the engine will hold together for a complete Dakar.
 
for the Rally bike I would install the "old" Counter balancer shaft (no?)

word on the street is , that Ty has been playing around with the "old" CB shaft on the Dez 510s.
 
The lone Husky entry was smokin today.

Started in pos. 76

CP-1 20th

Kilometer 83 24th

CP2-KM 111 26th

finish 31 :thumbsup: :applause:
 
Last i checked local (to me) fast guy and all around great dude Jonah Street is doing very well. Was in 14th and worked his way to 6th / 43 minutes off the lead. :cheers:
