• 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 IN AUSTRALIA
​
​

Husqvarna Racing's Alex Salvini took the E1 class victory on his TE250 at the prestigious A4DE (Australian 4 Day Enduro). Consistent riding from Salvini in the first three days of the event saw him well positioned to secure victory in his Australian competition debut.

Salvini's performance was made all the more impressive after recovering from a heavy crash on day 1 of the event that had him trailing former World Enduro Champion Stefan Merriman by 15 seconds. Day 2 saw some committed racing from Alex Salvini to close the gap to just three seconds. Day 3 had Salvini and Merriman battling hard for third day honours, with Salvini getting the best of the competition to finish a good five seconds clear.

The final day of competition set the scene for a battle royal between the two frontrunners to see who would come away with the coveted A4DE title for 2010. The contest proved to be very even across the last days racing with Salvini triumphant over Merriman, increasing his lead by a further 6.74 seconds to secure victory by more than 11 seconds – and finish fourth in the overall standings.
 
Only problem was, He can't be a Champion, because He isn't an Australian......Go figure. That was awarded to Meriman, because he came 2nd
 
The Italian Federation has the same rule. Most of the top WEC guys run the Italian Championship as a preseason high level competition warm up for the WEC. The foreigners all get second billing no matter where they finish, ask Ahola how many times he has really won the Italian Championship. So its basically a federation cup. PS Merriman is still amazing, at his peak he could win on any bike under him.
