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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

JON FOSTER JOINS HUSQVARNA
BMW Veteran Shifts Gears

April 20, 2011 – Corona, CA -
Just in time for tax season, Jon Foster becomes the new Husqvarna North America Sales Planner. In his new role with Husky, Foster will be responsible for managing the complete pipeline for motorcycle inventory. He will analyze sales trends and assist dealers in managing their stock.

"Jon is a seasoned pro and with more than 30 years experience in BMWs retail and wholesale operations, he knows what the dealers are facing first hand," notes National Marketing Manager, Corey Eastman. In addition to his wealth of experience with Husqvarna's parent company, most recently as Quality Assurance Manager for BMW, Foster is also an avid motorcycle enthusiast, both street and dirt.

Foster shifted gears from BMW to join Husqvarna's North America management team shortly after the new "No Fooling" retail finance offer was introduced. "With 2.99% APR on all 2011s and terms up to 60 months, I think we can help the dealers move some motorcycles through the pipeline," says Foster. This announcement follows on the heels of the news that another industry veteran, Derek Sorenson, had been hired to help with racing and product planning. "Both Jon and Derek are great additions to the Husqvarna team," Corey concludes. Jon can be reached at: jon.foster@husqvarna-motorcyclesna.com.
