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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Fun at the Funky Chicken

We attended the AMA Western Hare Scrambles Funky Chicken last weekend and got to see and ride with several of our Husky friends, plus meet Cory Graffunder and Charles from Husqvarna NA headquarters.

It was great to see regulars like Bill, Luke, Jake, Mark, Cory and Charles plus a few new guys. The red bikes on the line keep increasing and they are always hammering away at the end, too. Whether riding mid pack and enjoying the excellent course ( congrats to my home club ETRA.net ) ............. or by running away and smoking the field as Cory did for every lap but the last. Unfortunately while cruising out front (or is that cruise missleing !! ) with a couple minutes lead Cory got tangled up with a downed rider and mangled his brake lever. The subsequent unmangling took just enough time for NW native Rory Sullivan to sneak by, but Graffunder got back on it and still finished second. The last time I saw a rider dominate an off-road event like this was some guy named Casselli at a WORCS race...excellent company to be in.

All-in-all a nice showing by Husqvarna and Bill's Motorcycles Plus at one of the classic Northwest events.

Pro line. Where's Cory?

Looks like a great day with great people. I was lame and rode local instead of making the trek down there.
 
We had a blast at the FUNKY CHICKEN. My 2012 Pro Circuit piped TXC310 worked awesome; I have ridden these bikes a lot at desert and tracks but, unbelievable chugging power on the hills. When I was tired on a rooted uphill I could just trials ride around and over stuff easy. Only my second race in 5 years and I'm so glad I picked that bike to ride. Just wish I was in better shape. Ole 116 did me good and made my day alot easier. The 12 port injector and ECU mods standard on the 12 TXC310/250 made for a lot smoother and more powerful motor than the TE. Box stock suspension for this 185 lb guy with all the clickers turned to almost softest position. other than shock rebound, which I like slow, made for the perfect ride for the billions of little bumps and the drop away downhill sections. I loved my WR150 but may have just found my new ride. billf
 
Here are a few more of the Huskies in the field from Saturday...

headlight falling off, forks with 6" of travel, and I prolly was screaming... It was quite the ordeal! Forks didn't leak!!! but There is something wrong with them fo-sho...
 
We have special trees and rocks at the Big K that jump out and grab you. Your bike looked quite mangled for something that was still rolling :)

Congrats on hanging in there.
