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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

More craziness. TMs rebranded as CZ?

Not sure what to think of this. Sure looks like a red TM.

That is crazy. Seems to follow the TM displacement offerings also. CZ doesn't have the name recognition that Husqvarna does here in the states, but it is probably better among middle-aged riders than TM is.
 
The TM is totally stale.... I really like their bikes but the have a name for high performance and high maintenance....
 
Naw it's way different ....it's red :D. We have a 2011 TM 250 MX and haven't had to replace a single part; excellent bikes and at least this one has needed only minimum maintenance. We are still on the stock top end with at least 80 hrs now.
 
Nobody wants to take the time to make a new bike these days, cheaper to re-brand them...
 
well i looked it over seems to be a grafixs deal from a dealer in CZs old homeland still kinda cool they dont seem to have done any 4Ts
 
Read into it (look around the company's web site) they are an official TM Racing dealer in Czech Republic and they put together a CZ tribute plastic/graphics package to install onto your TM Racing machine- Czech Pride type thing. It's not a re-branded type biz thing, it's simply a color re-plastic and graphic thing from an official OEM TM Racing dealer. Good find though.

Everybody wants to be in the "motorcycle business" now, hardly anyone has a clue, nobody has a vision. Therefor, re-branding comes natural.
Back in the days, people founded companies when they felt that they could make a difference, and add another spice to the soup.
Nowadays it's no more about "making a differnce", it's all about "brand", especially when "gold diggers" are trying to "resurrect" ancient brand names.
