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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

He's gonna race that bike to glory! Perfect finger action on those levers!

I wish my TC bikes had the number 28 on their plates :)
 
I'm not gonna put him up with Mikkola just yet but I'm down with Rattray...

Q: Tyla, great to have you back in Europe. What made you return?

Rattray: Obviously I got a good deal to ride the new Husqvarna. I had some other options to stay in America, but my career started in Europe in 2000, it is where I started making a name for myself and I always wanted to return. I think it is a good step in my career to come back and try and win an MX1 title.

Q: You in 2008 and Pourcel in 2006 are the only guys to beat Antonio (Cairoli) for a World title in the last nine years. What is it going to take to win a World MX1 Championship?

Rattray: Obviously you need a good off-season and come into the season in good shape. I want to come in as strong as I a can. The weather in Europe doesn’t make for good training in the winter, but with me being in America and riding so much I have learnt a lot about fitness and training. The racing is totally different racing in American compared to Europe, but I am really looking forward to coming back to Europe.
