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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Husky Rep Fred Hoess came out to the first WNYOA HS of the season, to shake out the cobwebs before the Ohio ISDE Qualifier. He won the new this year, Vet AA class, which is stacked with 35+ year old ex WNYOA AA riders, including two multiple time Series past Champions. Also an impressive 5th overall. He rode a new box stock '13 TC250R, just adding bark busters. Good job Fred!
 
with all the old fast guys still around Im glad age AA/Pro classes are opening.
I hope the 45+ class or other breakdown can be FIM done for the ISDE and other enduros as well. I love the idea of lining up with these "moto hero" guys in the Vet30+,40+ and 50+ open class........but laugh at the disparity in speed between my amateur level and their ex pro skill and speed levels. Shoot Mike Brown is technically 40A or 40+ open class rider and Fred, LR and others are the same in their respective classes.
Bravo to Fred!! still rockin the Sen classes!!.....and the beating most of the young guns as well!
