• 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 leading British Supermoto Champs

A good result for Paul and the team at Motosupplies (Husky dealer in north of England):

The first and second rounds of the British Supermoto Championship were held this weekend at Rowrah in Cumbria and Matt Winstanley, riding his Silicone Engineering Motosupplies Husqvarna SM450RR finished the weekend leading the British Championship.

Round 1 was held on Saturday in typical Cumbrian weather, rain, and Matt qualified 2nd on an extremely slippery track. The conditions were so poor that overtaking was very difficult and Matt finished race one in the same position as he started on the grid, 2nd. With overtaking still difficult for races 2 and 3, the pressure was on to make a good start and Matt did just that in both races – he took the holeshot and lead from start to finish in both races.

Round 2 was held on the Sunday and Matt qualified on pole. Race one saw Matt leading until he dropped his bike on the off road section and restarted in third. A hard fight saw him eventually secure 2nd place at the chequered flag. Race 2 wasn’t so good; after 2 jumped starts the race finally got underway but Matt wasn’t ready and most of the field went past him before he got going. Finishing lap one in 20th place Matt worked hard to work his way to finish 5th. For race 3 Matt wasn’t going to make the same mistake twice; he took the holeshot and lead from start to finish.

Matt now leads the British Supermoto Championship by 8 points.
