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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Here is just a single paragraph ... These guys really love this bike .... I don't see how this engine can be put out to pasture with reviews like this ...

What’s clever about the SMR is that it’s not in the least bit intimidating. The bike is so light, so well-balanced and packs such sharp brakes that you’d have to ride off a cliff to get yourself into trouble. And if you’ve only ever regarded supermotos as a queer oddity with pointless 80mph top speeds as you roar past on your sportsbike, only to have the cursed things looming large in your mirrors at the first sign of linked corners, you need to sling a leg over this Husqvarna. It’s motorcycling boiled down to its purest elements, and feeling for available grip and winding the throttle on far earlier than you dare is all part of the SMR experience. If the rear breaks away, don’t panic. The long-travel suspension will soak it up like a sponge. Your own limits will be so far inside what the 510 is capable of doing that you can push yourself all day long and still with a considerable safety barrier.
