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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!
It's a little more complicated than that. C.A.R.B. (California Air Resources Board) weighs in quite a bit with the future of the bikes.
We are talking about 2T's that are all red sticker anyway right? If it is a question of trying to get a DI 2T green stickered then that is a different question completely. Still bring the bikes out in competition form and work out the CARB crap later.
The features I'd like to see would be:
an electric start
a hydraulic clutch
a clean burning fuel injection system that could get the machine pavement designation.
and the sale of bikes in the other 49 mean what?
I don't know what kind of results that marketing research turns up in terms of regional demographics and who it is where buys what, but companies like to develop products that they can sell everywhere to a broad market.. In the county where I live, Husqvarna dealers won't even put a two stroke on the floor. There is no market for them down here. If I wanted to buy a two stroke model, I would have to make a down payment to have one ordered. If a company were to be developing new clean technology for two stroke engines that could encompass a wide variety of models, it would weigh in quite a bit to increase the sales of trail, competition and street legal models across the board as well as across the nation.
