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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

NW Gathering 2013: Oct 24th-27th @China Hat

You would think some of the Old Guard would have let them know about us .. I was thinking some of them might still be around ?

They know all about this site.

...I honestly can't say that I'm shocked to hear that, considering the hate that's been spewed on several threads (guilty of a little of that myself). People must think that "they" don't see all that, too. Saddening.

While I really do not like all the negativity, I really do not think that has anything to do with it. Let's talk more around the campfire.

They are to big to fail which means they don't have to care about us. We are just a little obscure web forum to them which is fine and really what we are. BUT we are also the voice for the brand on that there interwebs in the USA so if the CARED they might listen. I'd like to think we are part of why they all have linkage when none of them did before.

Oh and KTM while your listening we want a 125 off road model and why not a 200 (i'd rather mine is a 175) as well. Kickstands, big tanks and long gearing on each. Please and thank you.

The past 2 years we had factory support from HVNA, this year they are not acknowledging the existence of this site.


Love to meet them if that could be arranged...

I invited our rep Chuck Wiley and Jason Dahners,Jason has to work a KTM show in CA. and Chucks in Spain at KTM 1290 schooling so maybe next year.And the new MX action mag has alot of new stuff on the future in it.
 
Wonder how many Strada/Terras will be there. I'm more than likely taking the WR, but keep thinking Terra would be fun too.
