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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Two Top Husky Riders for Roof of Africa

Husqvarna
AA Class
This year we will not see the Red and white Huskies on the Roof of Africa ridden by the top Husky riders who have entered. There 2014 bikes were flown in and they have two weeks to set them up and get cracking-- I am hoping local boy -Altus De Wet will do well as he won the Enduro championship here on his 310 this year -- The other rider I heard is Jarvis -- some interesting times ahead . The bikes will also be launched to the public here on the Roof of Africa --
 
Oh, that's interesting. I hadn't heard whether or not Jarvis was going to ride Husqvarna next year for sure or not.
 
There is an extreme event here on Saturday called Wildwood Rock, Graham Jarvis is racing it, he won it two years ago.
That race will be the Husaberg race teams last event. From here Jarvis goes to the Roof of Africa where he will be riding a white KTM that looks like a Berg, but has Husqvarna stickers on it.

Hook, line, and sinker ... These guys know how to race bikes to get them in the publics' view .. Good luck to De Wt and Jarvis if he is in deed the rider...
 
Last night they allowed the public here in South Africa to the viewing of Graham Jarvis and local boy Altus de Wets bikes that they will be racing the roof on ---Quite a stirr was caused --Altus no2 and Jarvis GJ :cool: --altus.jpg
 
Marking the final Hard Enduro of 2013, the Roof of Africa will see Graham Jarvis compete on a Husqvarna FE 250. It what will be the Brit’s first race on Husqvarna machinery, Jarvis is also shaking things up by switching to four-stroke machinery for the event. Having contested Husaberg FE 250 two-stroke throughout the season, his switch to four-stroke machinery will come as a surprise to many. But with the hard, rocky trails and miles upon miles of terrain possibly favouring the 250f, Jarvis is hoping the smaller capacity machine will help him return to the top step of the podium in Africa - See more at: http://www.enduro21.com/index.php/c...rvis-to-race-husqvarna-250f-at-roof-of-africa

What was the Sherco 4t he rode before he joined Husaberg? I figure it was probably a 250, but I can't remember.
 
I saw a pic from Alfredo Gomez today and he is on a Husky 4t also. I am going to a take a wild guess and say that it was all they could get their hands on. For races like this the local importer arranges the bikes with the KTM. Obviously there is not a huge selection of new Husky's floating around. So take what you can get.
 
Well Local boy Altus 1st on the 300 and Jarvis 2nd after day one --early days yet --but nice result today at the ROOF -- :applause:
