• 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 of the other Cottage brand bikes of the past (many Italians)

A friend of mine has two '79 SWMs. One a 175 and a 250. They look almost identical and they look amazing. Haven't ridden the 250, but the 175 is a sweet, sweet handling machine. You can barely tell it's a vintage bike. Motor is so smooth and extremely responsive. I want it so bad.

The biggest news is addition of the new 250 4t for the enduro world, they also have the new line of Mash bikes fashion scrambler type universal bikes. and they now have the electric assist bicycle as well. the notes praise them for building their product line. and I guess not mentioned with a saving of Gas Gas they will still have a 2T engine supplier for their 2T machines. seems to be all good news for the world of moto!!!
I read it wrong the 250 4T to enter the world of enduro----later it states it is a trail ride/freeride engine not a racing engine--so its a dual sport trail bike for EU market (AJP style)
 
Thank you for the translation! I don't really know anything of fantic except for the GG merger and the teaser fi 2st. Can't help but think the ebike thing may have come from torrot
 
If we look closely at some of them who copied who some look like the Honda cr ? I'm sure the European bikes lead the way. The moto guzzi looks awesome in a dual sport I'd buy that.

A co worker had a moto and he rode it all year even in the snow.
