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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

This is where to discuss the other brands of Motorcycles

Not trying to expand the scope of this site, at all.

But a place to talk about other bike brands has been requested for years, and instead of the discussions being in General where everyone looks at them, thought the other bike brand discussions could go in here so the people who do not want to look at them can avoid them.

Sherco, gas gas, whatever.
 
Anybody know. If the 250 2 t free ride will come to the u.s. If not I'm thinking hard on a sherco290 xride

I have an almost completely original 1979 Bultaco Alpina 250 sitting under cover in my shop. I bought it new, and had a great time with it. It has been owned by each of the four of my original riding group, and came back into my possesion a few years ago… Started to do a trail worthy restore to see if I still enjoyed it, if so then a full restore was the plan. Truth be told though, before starting the money drain, I rode it around the yard a bit, spent somewhere about $400 on it from Hugh's Bultaco [different name now] put it together and haven't even started it again. Enjoy the modern bike too much. First thing I did back in '79 was pull the metal fenders and lights off, put them in a box and replace them with Preston Petty Mudders which are still on the bike. It sat in storage for 20 years and after cleaning the tank and carb and dumping a little gas down the plug hole, it fired right up and ran well. The aforementioned box was discarded after a few moves. Hear that sound in the background? Me kicking myself whenever I think of it...
