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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Rocky Returns To MPS for 2013

Ex HVUK

Husqvarna
AA Class
One for the UK based Enduro racing fans, MPS Racing is the official UK Husqvarna Enduro Team:


MPS Racing is pleased to confirm the return of Alex ‘Rocky’ Rockwell to the team for the 2013 season, where he will be racing alongside 2012 British E1 Enduro Champion Jack Rowland.

With Jack set to defend his E1 title on the Husqvarna TE250R, Rocky will be aiming for E2 honours on the TE310R. For 2013 both riders will be contesting the ACU British Sprint Enduro Championship as well as the ACU British Enduro Championship and the European Enduro Championship.

Mick Seward, MPS Racing team principal: ‘We’re extremely pleased to welcome Rocky back to the team to race with us on Husqvarna again. We are a British Championship winning team in 2012 thanks to Jack and now with Rocky on board we are serious contenders for at least two titles next year. We’ve already tested the 2013 bikes in Italy and are seriously impressed with the extra power and torque they have straight out of the crate.’

Alex Rockwell, ‘I’ve enjoyed my time racing in the World Enduro series but my aim for next year is to focus primarily on the British Championships. With the support available to me from MPS as the official UK Husqvarna Enduro team I’m confident I can achieve my goal of becoming British Enduro Champion in 2013’.

For 2013 MPS will be using the latest Husqvarna TE250R and TE310R fitted with the fully programmable Husqvarna ‘power engine control system’ to allow the team to fine tune the power delivery to suit the conditions and rider preference. The system has been developed in conjunction with the Husqvarna factory race teams and even allows riders to adjust the power delivery ‘on the fly’ to cater for the widely differing conditions experienced on a typical Enduro lap.

Further information on the teams’ activities and 2013 plans will be available on the MPS Racing website: www.mps-racing.co.uk shortly.
