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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Chilly D welcome aboard the Husky Cafe, thanks for posting. (I just love that 310****************************************)
 
Too bad Juha DNF'd Day 1 or it could have be E1 and E2 Championships today.... Congrats to Antoine and Husky. Juha will get there, at French GP!
 
HUSQVARNA & MEO - 2011 ENDURO 2 WORLD CHAMPIONS


Husqvarna CH Racing Monster Energy Team rider Antoine Meo is the 2011 Enduro 2 World Champion. Continuing his amazing season, Meo put his name to the coveted E2 title following two near faultless performances at the season's penultimate event, the GP of Andorra. Starting the race with a commanding championship lead, a winning result on day one put the Frenchman in the perfect position to become the first rider of 2011 to be crowned Enduro World Champion. Despite challenging weather conditions and a demanding course, Antoine and his TE 310 performed exceptionally during day two. With the Frenchman's focus being to win the E2 championship, Meo placed third, just 18 seconds behind the day's eventual winner. In doing so Antoine claimed Husqvarna's 79th world title.
Throughout 2011 Antoine has proved both the performance and reliability of Husqvarna's TE310. Facing rivals aboard more powerful 350cc and 450cc machinery, he took charge of the championship and built on the successes of winning the Enduro 1 World Championship with Husqvarna in 2010. Claiming no fewer than seven day wins and finishing off the podium just once during seven two-day GPs, Antoine and Husqvarna have remained at the top of the competitive Enduro 2 class since the opening round of the series in Spain. In Andorra, Meo overcame a slow start to the opening day to power his way onto the top step of the podium, claiming the win following an outstanding winning performance on the day's final special test. On day two, winning the Enduro 2 World Championship was Antoine's primary goal, which he achieved in style with a solid third place result.
Meo's Husqvarna CH Racing Monster Energy team-mate Juha Salminen was struck by bad luck early on day one when a rare mechanical problem forced him to retire. Bouncing back in style, Salminen claimed the Enduro 1 class win on day two, collecting his ninth class day win of the 2011 season so far. Despite the loss of 25 important championship points Salminen remains 24 points clear of his closest championship rival going into the final event of the Enduro World Championship season, next month's GP of France. Salminen's team-mate Matti Seistola endured a tough GP but the determined Finn nevertheless claimed two third-place podium results. Matti now sits third in the E1 championship standings.
 
TT poster states that Meo is leaving Husky. I heard today that it's over personal sponorship issues. All gear sponsorship (Airoh, Pro Grip, Gaerne) is through the team, except Juha Salminen.... who has personal deals with Arai, Sidi, Yoko and Scott. It will be intersting to see what happens.
