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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Euro bikes and import tax increases

Conversation here in the U.K. is any bike from Europe under 500cc going to the USA will have an 100% import tax added!!! I've no direct link to a source story and this might be 'fake news'.
 
Thanks. It's not fake news, but it is somewhat old news. There's another post here somewhere and the AMA has been fighting it for months. Last I heard they weren't having much luck. The tarif is related to the EU ban on US beef because of hormone use. So in some whack trade negociations the US trade knuckleheads are threatening to impose a tarif on EU motorcycles :confused:
