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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

New!

Hello,

I started this thread to introduce myself. I am Dutch so my English won't be perfect.

Riding motorcycles about 11 years now. Always had a Ducati. Started with a Monster 600, than a Monster 800 S2R and after that I bought a MTS 1100S. For Ducati standards a real comfortable bike meant to be used for long drives with my girl.. To bad she never went with me.

After all these years the Ducati brand started to annoy me. Everything is expensive, all dealerships in the Netherlands are hostile against each-other and if you have a problem with your bike, you as bike owner are in between these 'male chicken'fights...

I started to look into something new and different, something Fun! and ended up exchanging my Ducati MTS 1100S for a Husqvarna SMS/R 630 Seel Replica. This was a bike used as demo and it had 630km (yes km it is the Netherlands) on its ODO(?).
The dealer gave the bike a total service (oil, filters etc.) and installed the 'full power' kit.
I rode it home and have not thought about all my previous bikes since...
What fun is a Husqvarna!!

I don't think I will often visit this forum, but still I wanted to join, because it is always usefull to 'know' people with knowledge about things you like :).

Best regards
 
Welcome to the husky family. :cheers: Lots of useful knowledge around here so stop in and check if you ever have questions. Ohh yeah, you're supposed to post pics of any new husky's. :D
 
I think we all need about 5 bikes. Welcome aboard and just fire away with questions-Great people here, no question too dumb
 
I only have the Husky, always used the previous bike as a (partial) payment for the next. Or do you mean you need to own a number of bikes before you know what you want?
 
One bike is not enough, need 2 dirt bikes for different riding terrain, a trials bike for skills a touring bike and a genuine DS, and maybe a sports bike-yep make that 6 bikes. Now to get the dosh
 
Welcome and congrats on your bike. Hey you write as well as I do and I've lived in the USA all my 52 years LOL. Enjoy your Husky.
