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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Southwest U.S. Husqvarna Ride - 11-27-2009 to 11-29-2009

I was wondering if any of the Cafe Husky members would be interested in joining me for a couple of days riding this fall/winter in the local Sothern California desert. Nothing officially connected to Husqvarna Motorcycles North America more of an opportunity to meet and ride with as many other Cafe Husky riders as possible. I don't have any dates set yet but would like to do it when it cools down this fall/winter. If anyone is interested let me know and we can start talking about dates and locations.

Regards,

I'd love to go! I need to find a TE, though, as I don't think my SM610 is going to cut it out there...even if it does have knobbies on it :busted:

Scott,

If you can make it more towards winter I would like to join you. I should have my 2010 TXC 250 by then and would be legal in Cali vs now with my 2 strokes. Golf course work is pretty much on hold by late November here in Montana and I can take advantage of the good part of my job: winters off.

I would also like to pick your brain on how to get a Husqvarna dealer started in Montana. I don't need to be it, I just want to get someone to take on the marque.

I'll jump in and say that I'm going (depending on the dates of course).
There are quite a few newer and some not so new members that I'd like to meet/see again.:cheers:

Very cool of you to do a ride with the CH crew. Im usually up for any ride that supports the Husky community. Just depends on the dates and work--but pencil me in for sure. :)

I would be interested in either Anza Borrego Desert or Mohave near Barstow. I live about an hour and a half from Anza Borrego.
 
Sure.I would love to bomb south for a little get together ride. I could pick somebody on the way down. I live in the middle of CA.

Hey Walt there was one outside of Missoula a couple of years ago... I don't know why they went out of business though...
 
Kevin,

It was in Lincoln, which is about 90 min northeast of Missoula and in the middle of nowhere. I am sure that had a lot to do with them going out of business.

I think that is a wonderful idea. :thumbsup:

Keep in mind that Cafe Husky has a wide variety of skill levels though, might be best to just assume that having 2 groups because of that. I would be in the slow group - I do ok in the mountains but am incredibly slow in the sand. While I'm healthy at this time I simply cannot afford to get hurt again.

I've still got a couple of 'real' tires from Michael that he gave me. We can take the trials tires off my bike, put those on, and you could ride my bike. Then I could take yours in the slow group (assuming there are enough riders for 2 groups).

:cheers:
 
An opportunity to ride with the great Scot Harden (a contribution factor that conviced me to swap from KTM to Husky this year I might add, good enough for Scott, it's good enough for me!) and the guys from Cafe Husky, no brainer, sign me up! I'm with Droolsport, can I bring a few friends I converted over to KTM that I'm stuggling to convert over to Husky?! Man... I spendt a lot of years getting them on Orange... Hope it doesn't take as long to get them to go Red/Black! Great idea... My vote is Winter, but I'll go with the program.
 
Hey Scot, Great idea! Name the time and place. I'll be there.

I will be watching this with great interest. Anza Borrego is very convenient for me and I would be in the slow group.:thumbsup:
