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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

I build this for the Dakar rally, but i never got enough money to ride it. I was stupid enough to sell it a few years ago. I heard the tuned engine is i an card now, and the rest is scrapped. I am an idiot...

And who else has sold one they wish they had kept?

I’d like to have the 1973 Hodaka Super Rat back in my garage!
 
If you want one I have one that I started full restoration on last year. I will let her go for $400.00. She needs a first over
piston rims and spokes.

If i want one i am better of buying one in the Netherlands. Buying from the USA means paying BPM which is a tax for importing vehicles, and they count the original new price which means the BPM is about twice your selling price. Ofcoarse this is ex. 21% BTW which is the dutch VAT. So basically pay tax over tax, welcome in Holland. Then i have to pay transportation which wil be again about your price. Again ex. BTW of 21%. I have to pay the customs costs, and.... yes... you guessed it, ex. BTW, 21%. The price i really pay for this bike will be about 2500-3000 euro's, which is about 2800-3400 US dollar.

Oh, i forgot, the US papers don't go well here, the motorcycle need to be re-inspected which is about 300 dollar, and eeh, do i need to tell about that 21% again? And because of this, the production year will be set at 2024 and i pay road-use-tax and insurance for a brand new motorcycle. ex.... you know it.....

A good one here cost 1800-2300 us dollar.
