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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!

Guess you got the memo like most dealers..........trouble is that # is BMW N/A customer service # in Ohio and Husky means a tool line by Home depot to them and Husqvarna makes chainsaws and they did not get the memo. This coordination apparently stoumbled somewhere but I hope they fix it. Was just a shock when I got a big "UHH-MMMM" on the other end of the phone when inquiring about the whereabouts of my 08 Husky bucks.
I have the utmost confidence they ill rectify the problem in a timeley manner and this kind of thing might actually be beneficial as it lets the powers that be know that ther are potential communications glitches here and there that ned to be addressed. I just hope the outside contarctor that will be handlling the parts wharehousing and distributing to dealers is better setup and the future "husky Bucks" outsourced contractor that Mr. Harden spoke of does not answer in a very strong accented voice with something like:
"Good morning, afternoon, evening..........man, woman, or small child. I am pleased to congratulate you on your recent performance in an offroad racing exhibition of competition and am requesting some information so I can submit your contingecy claim thru the national bank of Botswana."
For the record, the young man at BMW was very nice, and assured me he would investigate what was up despite the fact that he was totally out of the loop by higher. You can't but appreciate the fact tht he gave 101% and it does show they do have a good gene pool there and things will get better with better communications. He even promised to call back one he found anything out.
Nothing to worry about.....just saying it isn't working just yet.
Go Husky!

I just called as well because I was curious. Michelle answered "BMW" and told her I was from Cafe Husky...
It sounds like it is a number to call when a dealer is unable to help a customer with a bike issue such as warranty repairs.
She said people should work with the dealers first....
ScottyR - do you think it is better to give that number only to people having problems as opposed being posted? You can change your post if you want. Or post/PM if you want something else done.

I think you are reading into it as both Tony and Michlle were totally unaware that this had been initiated and they said they heard some thing was in the works but were unsure that it had started. Apparenly like the parts wharehouse, they are piggybacking on the BMW assets and facilities in place. Smart business move once all are informed and trained on the Husky lineup.
As far as working with the dealer....yes agreed........except with the Husky bucks. That has nothing to do with the dealer until i place them in his hand for credit.

I gave the number a call and spoke to Corey. Good customer service skills, but he had no idea about the Husqvarna contingency programs. He did say that I would hear back from him within 24 hours and that he had a contact in N.J.
I hope that the information from the voice of the cutomer (us) is being heard further up.

Noticed that. Saw Jeff Taskys post on TT...
They might be getting several phone calls, I'm not sure they realize how many people read these forums.
This information should also go into the "Husqvarna Corporation" section at some point. Not sure if those can even be posted in at the moment though.

But the bottom line is MOST of us still don't have our Husky Bucks yet! And there is still no one to talk to about it!!! I am still patiently waiting like the rest of you.
Here is a quote from Scot Harden from an earlier post on 12-19-08.
"Now, let me update you on a couple of items we are working on.
1.) 2008 Contingency. This past two week we have diverted a number of staff to get the 2008 Contingecy claims processed. We know we are way behind. we are working to resolve all outstanding Contingency claims before the end of the year. At least get the awards mailed back to the consumer. We apologize for the delays. By the way we are paying out some serious cash. You guys must be on the gas."
It is the middle of January and still no response to 2008 contingency. He did say they were working on it. I guess I'll wait some more.

maybe they sent our Husky bucks to help GM, Chrysler, and Ford.................C'mon......that was a funny one if I say so myself.
Seriously, I am sure they will send them (mine included) and be patient may not suffice for now but what else can one do........they are backed up and I do believe them when they say they are working it.

I'm over it...2008 Contingency
As of now I am going to look at it like a lost lottery ticket. One day it is going to show up in the mail and I'm going to dance in the street. And then I'll get hit by a car, just my luck!!

I have not received mine yet (I will give it a few days) but I will follow the proper channels through your link. Thank you very much, my account @ Hall's was getting out of control!!!

I just sent a general type email to Stacy asking what the status is to hopefully alleviate some of the anxiousness for the 2008 Husky Bucks program. I've also invited her to join Cafe Husky as another option.
If/when I get anything back I'll be sure to post up.
You guys might want to wait till Monday before emailing her. My gut tells me she may have only been recently been assigned this task - I have zero inside info though.
