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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Hello All!

Thought I'd post this here too. . .
(Video at end)

A long term friend of Mark's (Shop Owner) took a ride.
Whats so special you say? The ride took place in South Africa. Furthermore, the ride was a charity event put on through Unicef. For two weeks, Mitch Piper (Rider/Helmet Cam) rode the trails of South Africa helping the folk out there, and of course, riding some pretty sweet terrain!

What's even cooler, is that every rider is completely SPONSORED! They go around to several different shops, and ask for each to pitch in for the cause. I have been told, that when all is said and done, each rider raises up around $10,000.00 dollars to pay for their bike, gear, and trip out there, as well as the remaining lump sum going towards Unicef. After the ride, the bikes in the video, are donated to doctors, and other people, that are unable to navigate the rugged terrain in Africa, in order to reach people requiring medical care.

Thanks Mitch, and all other riders, for representing the biking community, and all it stands for! :applause:

P.S. The bikes aren't Husky's, but i thought this would be cool to share anyways

Here is the Video: http://www.vimeo.com/7823594

Thanks!
