• 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 vs Yamaha vs KTM in the Aussie 4 day... this should be a GOOD battle.

Hard on the heels of the news that 2012 Junior World Enduro Champion, Frenchman Mathias Bellino, has entered the 2014 Australian 4-Day Enduro (A4DE), Transmoto has discovered that American off-road legend, Mike Brown, will also join the Glenn Kearney-managed Husqvarna Enduro Racing Team for the upcoming A4DE. According to Kearney, “It’s been a great year for the new team during the first half of the AORC series. So to have both Mathias Bellino and Mike Brown join us for the 4-Day is great news. The 4-Day has often had an international flavour, so we’re happy to play our part in keeping that alive. Bellino has been dicing with Australia’s Matt Phillips in the EWC’s E3 class this season, so I’m pretty sure he’ll be riding the FE501 at the 4-Day. Brownie is a former AMA MX and EnduroCross champ, but I can’t confirm what model and class he’ll be racing at this stage. He had such a good time in Australia earlier in the year at the Enduro-X Nationals that he’ll use any excuse to get back here again.”
Speaking of Kearney (aka, GK or Ginger General), the 33-year-old had made himself unavailable for selection on Australia’s ISDE team this year because he’s decided to have post-season surgery on the ankle that he mangled way back in 2005, when he finished an amazing third Outright on debut in America’s GNCC series. “The thing has always had a limited range of movement since then, but it’s starting to hurt a lot more now, and not only when I’m riding,” explained GK, who’s leading the E3 class and sitting second Outright to Toby Price in the 2014 AORC. “It’s a real pity to miss the Six-Days in Argentina as we’ve got a strong team and the boys a really good chance of another podium or even winning, but I can’t put the operation off any longer. They’re going to fuse the joint – which shouldn’t affect the already limited movement my ankle has – but the doc says it should reduce the pain I’m getting big time.” In the meantime, Kearney will soldier on for the final six rounds of the AORC as well as contenting the A4DE at Dungog in mid-August – an event he won Outright in 2004 in Victoria aboard a Yamaha YZ250.
