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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!
Speedweek Husky.

Looked at the website. What a blast ! Is this the first one ? I'd do anything to run a 100mph plus on a vintage Husky and then wash the dust away with an ice cold Windhoek !

103,15mph that is.
Completely and utterly revved out, sprockets 17/48 on WR config. There was plenty pull left in motor, needs taller gearing, and in my opinion there is no way a stock aircooled 500 with WR ratio gearing will ever do any more.
Bike is stock and entered as such.
Rest of story and pics here:

Wildebeest, you an expat??
Yep had some good Windhoek Lagers.
130km from this event we ran into the notorious Kalahari Lions. Believe me those are the most badass land predators on this planet.

Great run ! Not an expat but spent a year out that way 10 years ago from town to town and have been back several times. Love it and the lager, not that SAB crap though. I now have a new holiday destination lined up soon for a speedweek SA though. And f#ck those Lions close up, I heard one call about a mile away from my tent once and soiled myself proper and no sleep til daylight !!! I'd bring a cast iron box to sleep in next time with a team of 20 trained Honey Badgers armed with AKs !
