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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Absoloutley gutted, Woke in the early hours of the morning to find everything I had worked so hard for gone, most likely the bike will be parted out on gumtree or the likes so if anyone is to ever hear or see any smr 449 specific parts ie front brake kit up for sale please let me know, plenty of personalised parts that set the bike apart like an aftermarket rocket exhaust and easton bars and clamps.

let this be a reminder to you all, please keep your bikes safe and locked away, possibly even grab something similar to theese I know I will be for my next bike.

Mate, very sorry to hear that!
I lost a bike years ago & never heard anything more.
I now insure them, but it is expensive :(
Hope you catch up with the bastards.
We'll keep an eye out for it.

Not very funny at the moment, but before I got mine running well I was wishing someone would take it away!
I'd be very upset now.

All the best dude!!

Thankyou, I'm lucky enough to live in a very built up area with hundreds of small businesses dotted all around the neighborhood, with luck I will find one with security footage of the streets and hopefully the perps, if that fails I have some rather devious plans up my sleeve before I give in. ... the person who stole it will without doubt be trying to convert it back to te 449 spec as it is no longer regirastable on the road and I am planning on creating some fake gumtree/ebay listings selling te front ends, te 449 wheels and knobies etc. in the hopes of them contacting me.
 
Let local clubs/tracks know too mate. Tas, Vic, Sa, Nsw. If they try and covert her into a track bike they can at least jot down a frame number and. Contact you, not too many Huskys like ours around
 
Good point Hugh, not the idea bike to hide away & ride on the bush on slicks & a bit visible unreg. on the road.
Let's hope it shows up!!
