• 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 weekends rumour -Ricky Dietrich to Europe on Husqvarna

this would be sick, i hope it's true too. i've heard him say that he wants to shift focus to MX now, sounded kinda done with the off-road scene. (i must have read an article recently or saw an interview)

Dont tell Kawasaki but the first link Google turns up for him is the Kawasaki website.

Better not tell them that he has been on a Yamaha all season.

I think I would be pretty surprised to see Ricky head to Europe, knowing him and a little about him I can't see it being a very good fit, regardless of what bike he rides. Not that he doesn't have tons of talent, but he has gotten a rep of being a little bit of a prima dona. Learning to ride EWC is a big challenge. No American rider has really proved to be at the top level, even Caselli has struggled in his few rides over there.

I assume we are talking enduro and not moto.....anyone??
 
I have it from a very reliable person very close to Rick, that he has signed with Husky for 2012 and is heading to Europe. It is a move that should be great for him and we all hope he can get his career back on track..

Moto or Enduro?
 
I saw or read an interview recently where he said he's accomplished all he hoped to in enduro and wants to tackle moto while he's still young. He said he can go back and compete in enduro later on in life, but did not feel the same about moto.
