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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

A few more pics .. Notice no wavy brake rotors and a black swing arm on the Husky ... Looks almost like a custom seat in the 2nd pic also ..

No Husky in the last pic but it is about the coolest pic on the site ... great rock formations \ colors ... very desolate with 2 riders driving to the top ...That stone wall in the rear could easily be older than our country and even date back to Columbus's day or before ...

Looks like 2 different Huskies in the pics but maybe just one with parts being swapped out daily ...

From the looks of the 1st picture is seems like a crank seal is gone or hopefully the silencer caught on fire..

lol ... I guess ...

Here are 2 pics of Huskies on day 1 at the start apparently as the bikes are clean ... 2 riders taking slightly different lines in the same section on slightly different bikes ...

One marked SK .. one marked AL ...

-- Rubber boots seem to be popular with the locals :) ...

That smoke could be a burning clutch. The only national enduro I've been to had a 'difficult' section and there was much smoke trying to get through it.
 
The second Husky rider is Cross Country ace Simo Kirssi ... He finished 12th overall :banana:


Team-mate Kirssi had made it into fifth place. Yet the frequent Cross Country winner suffered bad luck with only
two kilometers to go to the final fuel stop. The Finn ran out of gas and had to wait forever until a fair competitor helped solve
the misery. Kirssi eventually crossed the line in 12th place. "What can you do, that´s racing," he commented with a taste of
bitterness.
