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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Motociclismo: Shineray and SWM, powered with non-XLite Husky engines

Thxs ... Can't quite grasp it all just yet, but it's gotta be a good thing ...


Where before there was a Husqvarna, born on the lake the new SWM. The author of the return of one of the most famous brands of regularity is the engineer Ampelio Macchi, who worked at Cagiva and Aprilia.

Never heard of a SWM but I'm getting some good vibes now towards it :) .. Seems like a slow slug saga here but again, maybe next yr is the yr we see something?


The style of the new bike is by Raffaele Zaccagnini who worked with me for many years in both Cagiva, Aprilia is that Husqvarna. I gave him the opportunity to return to the field of motorcycle. He has made ​​all the style off road and is designing the new 125, 250 and 340 the bike enduro and cross patterns that are ready to EICMA 2015.
 
This sounds very interesting and the first actual words speaking to the new motors that were being developed when the business was sold.
 
enduro bikes from back in the day in italia are refferred to as moto regolarita' kind of loose translation of time trials bikes, regulated time racers---todays enduro Troy knows SWM as do I , in 1984 I rode an SWM 125 in Sicily I think it was a rotax engine on it or maybe a sachs

this is exactly what I have been hoping for another italian rebirth of a name, like Aspes Accosato but hell SWM is perfect!!! esse Vu emmme

Ray you need to dive in and do an italian regolarita search they had mega small house brands over there

Those WIKI and Moto-it links were pretty cool ... Still pondering the Speedy bikes ... Even when they are static on the page, they say so much ..
 
Interesting. Just a while ago, Fantic Motor was owner of the "SWM" name. See their SWM cherry dirttrack concept bike.
