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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Team Husky Out West????

Just heard that David Kamo just signed with JCR Honda. His stint with Husky was rather short lived. What's going on -- anybody hear anything?
 
I was just going to ask about DK in an open question here. He must have moved.
Facebook has him racing a local race on a Honda and he did the NORRA Mex 1000 with Chilly White on a 92 KTM250EXC. Like Kelly said thats racing. I hope that ZipTy keeps on the devel path and the 449/511 results in the dez/xc keep on getting better. There is only Salvini on the CTS in the WEC for enduro devel.
 
PS JCR will get Dave instant results, that is the truth. Their Honda CRFs are very well XC/H&H/Baja developed, those things took awhile(a couple of years) to get dialed in for fast long distance racing, with help from the HRC as well but now they are top notch in their venues. Time/effort/money=will get results....as long as the initial base engineering is sound.
 
I know DK a little bit and he's a good guy. Wish him well. I echo Robert's sentiments about ZipTy too -- it would be nice to see the 449/511 continue to mature.

Kelly's right though -- that's racing. In this economy, we're lucky to see any race teams out there.
 
In response to the thread title of "Team Husky Out West????"

Theres a Team Husky back East??? if so.....where?
 
Sad to hear. But that's racing. On a. Brighter note, LR is on Husky again. Should be great PR for the brand out west. Mitch
 
Not sure what bike(s) he got. I heard he was on a TXC 511 for the Norra 1000...Left him a text message earlier today to go ride some single track out at our local spot. Keep you posted, hopefully get some pics to post up.

David did leave the team. I heard about it last week a few days before the BITD in Parker Arizona. I still went to the Bluewater GP and soloed the race. I lead briefly off the start and then Pearson passed me and I rode in 2nd the rest of the way and had our best finish of the season. It was a good day for myself and the team.

I see you were using the practice bike, lulling them to sleep while the race bike is massaged to perfection. Good job. See you guys in Mammoth next month...assuming you'll be there.
