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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Ricky Dietrich video on a Husky at the British Sprint Championship

I have watched on U-Tube another film of this weekends racing, the course reminds me of the Moto-x races from back in the day. I'm amazed that the McCanney kid rides the 300cc Gas Gas like i would a 125cc , unreal. I haven't seen Dietrich ride before, he is up to the task indeed, he would be killer on a 2-stroke with his fundamentals. Their style is very different from the USA mode of gas it and hope. The guy on the TM is a bullet i got to have one fer certain if i could wear out my Varna's, where are the Maico's to round it out? Wouldn't it be a cool outing for the weekend with your bike? Elderly class of course.......
 
I think Rickey is still used to a 450, he is shifting alot on the 250. Of course thats how you ride it fast.

I got a few months out of it.

PM Jake, he has a work around for everything :D
 
Way to go "Ricky D" going for the gold! Rick and I have a good history as I was the WORCS announcer for 7 years and watched him develop into the rider and the person he is today. I was lucky to help Rick prep his KX 250 for his first EnduroCross race. The year he won the WORCS Championship as a "Non-Factory" rider he worked out of my garage. That year he did much of his on wrenching, driving to the races in his own pick-up truck with two 450's and a 250F, with support from Maxxis and Rocky Mt. MC/ATV. He also made the main at Seattle SX in the Lites class and the 40 man gate at Red Bud working out of the back of the Chevy in "06". Remember he was only 18 and living on his own in Arizona and training with Destry Abbott at this time. Rick was part of the winning ISDE Jr. Trophy team in NZ and did pretty good OA. He always wanted to do Moto and he got the chance, but his heart is in off-road and I think he will be a force in the years to come. Thumbs up to "Ricky D" as he makes America and Husqvarna proud.
"Elbows down, full speed ahead RD.

Ricky is a cool dude, maybe we need a Ricky watch/ fan club thread. I am seriously excited to have an American to cheer for!
