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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Erzberg Rodeo 2011 (Taddy...again)

Sounds like the conditions were pretty bad with lots of rain...

My friend Don went again this year, he qualified 45th and finished 78th. Top US rider in both.

He wants me to go next year, not sure about the whole thing. Sounds like torture at times.

Later,
 
Taddy is one amazing dude.

Jake, do it.

I don't think you have ever been in better ride form and you ride with Don so if he thinks you would do well you would.
 
I think it's disappointing that Husky wouldn't pay for Cory to go to Erzberg. He has placed 3rd as a privateer. Isn't that why they signed him in the first place?????
 
well thats pretty good being the top ranked 4stroker, wish he coulda finished it but that is some wicked stuff from what i seen on the vids so still super respectable for sure. congrats to your bud too, jmetter.
 
Jarvis was robbed by an idiot marshal "hiding" at the Carls Diner checkpoint. He missed the checkpoint by 5m and for that was disqualified. He actually beat Taddy to the top so for my money was the true winner - even if the record books don't reflect that. Taddy is good, but so is Jarvis.

I was chuffed to see Birch in the top 10 - I'm a big fan! The 300 two strokes certainly stole the show though didn't they?
 
BUT They say the 2 stroke is dead and no one wants one .Just goes to show when the ridding gets tuff the 2 stroke still is the best .If we only all rode motocross and read everything that gets printed in motocross action then we might all beleive it .BUT not all peple want a 4 stroke ,now all we need to do is to get Husky to support some racers on 2 strokes ,like KTM does
 
Be aware that only 9 actually finished. all the others were clocked into the last recorded CP after that they were done (houred out or broke or stopped).
The Jarvis story is a pisser (if factual as read from above), I want to know more about that, he and the others have enough on their hands without trying to find a CP marshall, that is a bitter call, I hope the organizers thoroughly reviewed that one. I was thinking that Graham may have been on a Spanish or Italian machine (not KTM) but he a Husaberg (KTM) rider, no?

"Finishing first but winning nothing a costly error late in the race denies Husaberg’s extreme enduro star Jarvis victory at the 2011 Erzberg Hare Scramble."

Delivering one of the most impressive performances at this year’s event Husaberg’s Graham Jarvis came agonisingly close to winning the XVII running of the famous Erzberg Rodeo Hare Scramble. Reaching the finish of the world’s toughest one-day extreme enduro ahead of all other riders Graham found himself out of the results having missed, by a matter of meters, the 16th route check-point, which handing victory to Poland’s Taddy Blazusiak.

Looking to claim his first ever Erzberg Rodeo Hare Scramble win having shown himself to be one of the few riders capable of challenging now five-time winner Taddy Blazusiak in past years, Graham steadily worked his way forward from a fifth place start. Pacing himself during the early stages of the race knowing things would get progressively harder Graham made serious inroads into Blazusiak’s lead during the infamous rock section known as Carl’s Diner. Catching and passing Taddy it was at the next checkpoint that Graham made his costly mistake. Although reaching the finish first Graham was later removed from the results – a bitter pill to swallow having ridden exceptionally well throughout the race.

that is a kick in the nads...if you have a race where you need to get scored shouldnt it bottleneck down to areas where you "have" to pass through for the scoring?? just saying i dont think this should have happend...be it rider or judge error.
 
that blows!!! talk about going through hell for nothing. id flat fall over dead after some kinda let down like that. i recall romaniacs a few years back the course marshalls sent guys all over on day two or 3 and guys got DQ'd then they dropped the day...whata mess! imagine paying all that dough and going trough all that "fun" to get bounced! but god romania looks like a beautiful place to ride...no rules, just ride!
 
These are such grueling rides for man and machine ... I can see why a 4t is not the weapon of choice ...
 
I love that vid seen before thank you.........

and here I thought they were going to burn their lips on the exhaust pipes......oh thats a old school bus joke.....carry on
