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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

My Husky Dealer dropped them

My Local Husky Dealer (MotoTech in Boise) dropped them due to the cost of the BMW tool for the 650's . Feel a little gutted about this.. bought my first bike 07 TE250 from him back in 2006... He's going with Husaberg (in stock) and can get GasGas and Beta (not in stock at the moment). On the bright side he sold the line to the BMW shop down the road...

I remember trying to buy everything I could from him in the early days , I was worried he wouldn't stay in business it was kind of lean at that time... Now he's got CanAm and Artic Cat and I think that's where he makes his Margins.... ATV's / SnowMobiles/ PWC's

Don't like change and don't like this... Oh well.....
 
That snow machine business is tough...one year with a weak winter and those guys end up with a warehouse full of last year's models and no buyers.
 
Think He might be up a creek if the Husaberg rumour holds... as he sold his Husky to the BMW dealer down the road... Called them and they seem giddy to have Husky and much more so a 2 stroke line... That being said they are good honest folks and will bend over backward to help a customer and I will continue deal with them when I can....

Hey Kev, don't sound so bad to me..:)
 
I glad someone has vision.... although these two dealers have a different one for sure. Strange.... in that dealer development was put on hold for both brands when the deal became public. This must have unfolded just before that announcement, as Husky Dealers received their Moss tools just before that time. My local Husky Dealer was hoping he could send his back, when he heard about the sale. He didn't do the big buy in on 650's, so had paid maximum price for the tool.
