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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

GasGas and Ossa have merged

I think GasGas is on the move and we'll see some 4stroke technology out of them that everyone here will be real happy with! :banana:
 
Given KTM appears to be the only proper street legal competition enduro now....would love to see Ossa and GASGas come out with a blue plateable rig...I'd be interested :)

Madoff acted alone. He did expose the SEC for something other that what it is really.

This might be old news for most, it was anounced end of January:

The result of this merger, Gas Gas assumes production of OSSA at its factory in Salt, where current models of both Girona brands will be distributed. Gas Gas and Ossa will share financial, technological and human resources, but the two brands will retain the existing jobs, their names and operate independently in seperate business networks to strengthen their leadership in the short-term trial market.


Sounds a little less complex than the bwm saga and the ktm, pick-up and move-out, themed buy-out.
 
It's a "Re- announcement" - "re-boot" of something worked out at least a year, or close to 2 years, ago.

A very good idea - it brings more 'buying power' to both brands, and sharing of facilities / production capacities.

I hope it works out for both of them. On the scale of things, with both Beta and Sherco bringing out their 2t Enduro bikes - together with both companies 4t Enduro offerings - we at least have not gone too far backwards, with the loss of 'Berg / Italian Huskies. Further development of the Ossa EFI 2t rearward sloper, into the Enduro bike, might be more likely with this. Ossa have been flat out with just their Trials usage of it. Of course, that 'flat out', is in the context of a tiny, (re) start up company. They are doing well, at a very small scale.

Purely from my wanting to always see something different, I'd like to see the sidevalve Gas Gas 350 4t appear:


Well, I'd like to see Gas Gas's own, more conventional 4t engines re-appear. There are some 'noises about that happening. Success of the 'partnering up', is probably key to that happening. The Electric bike(s) is something that I think Gas Gas really could further - trials usage being quite the niche E bikes can fit into, as a starter point for such a relatively small company moving further into that tech.

If there was an adult size E trial bike that was affordable and available I would buy one tomorrow... my backyard simply needs one
