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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Salvini wins at British Sprint Enduro

AA Class
In the UK we sponsor the British Sprint Enduro Championship and this weekend were lucky enough to have Alex Salvini on loan from the factory.

Alex rocked! Riding a standard production 2012 TC250, the incredibly nice Italian set the standard on the first lap Saturday with a lap 10 seconds faster than anyone else in nasty wet muddy conditions. The track dried throughout Saturday and although a couple of the Brits closed the gap, Alex finished the first day with a 20 second lead to win the day outright.

I wasn't there today to see him in action (had to work the BMF Rally exhibition) but from what I can gather he was the fastest man all day and again won overall. His riding today was described as 'awesome' and 'a masterclass''. We have some good riders in the Sprint series, some of whom have placed well in EWC recently but Salvini outclassed them all this weekend, riding a standard bike.

Full details and maybe a video will be posted up on http://www.enduro-sprint.com/ shortly.

Like communicated last week Husqvarna Enduro World Championship rider Alex Salvini started at round 7 and 8 of the British Sprint Enduro Championship.

Rain in the morning made the track slippery and all riders struggeled in these conditions. But at the end of day 1 Alex showed his class on a TC250 right from a showroom and won with a gap of 20sec to the second rider.
On Sunday conditions improved and Alex showed how competitive a standard TC250 is by finishing 1st 90 seconds ahead of all competitors.
