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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

PFG no longer Australian Husky distributor

The writing was on the wall for this from the day BMW dropped their guts. Everybody has different experiences. I found PFG to be excellent in my dealings. Even though I also found Husky Imports excellent as well back in the day, I praise PFG for taking Husky as far as they could. They took a lot of risks and pushed the brand hard and raised the brand profile a lot, sold a lot of bikes too which I don't think Husky Imports could have done. I guess Feeney now knows how Hans felt last time the factory suddenly changed direction.

I wonder what is in store in the future. I wonder what will happen to the parts situation and old stock in the PFG warehouse, will there be a handover or even more of a parts and bike blowout. AHG are a huge concern and deal in bulk logistics and wont waste time or money sorting out spare parts bins and old stock.... Also, after the BMW deal forced PFG to cut ties with Cagiva / MV, I wonder if they still have Giovannis phone number in the teledex. I would for one would like to see Cagiva and MV back in the mainstream. Or better still, PFG should probably call Shineray in China and cut a deal, at least he will have to spares and tooling?

Crazy times.....
