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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Well, well, look who's over at Zero Motorcycles

I'm intrigued by electric motorcycles. I like that they're quiet. I like a good exhaust note as much as the next guy, but in California there's a strong anti-dirt bike sentiment for a few reasons, one of which is the noise.

I'm not sure electric bikes are there yet, but the latest Zero models aren't doing half bad. The problem is you can refill a gas tank in seconds and it takes 2-3 hours to recharge their large battery pack.

I was clicking around the Zero website, checking out various models, specs and videos and surfed over to info about the company and the team.

Maybe it's been known, but I hadn't heard, so I was a bit surprised (and happy) to see this:

SCOT HARDEN
VP OF GLOBAL MARKETING
​
Scot brings more than 40 years of racing, management, product development and brand building experience in the motorcycle industry to Zero. Inducted into the AMA Hall of Fame in 2008, Scot has amassed 20 different International motorcycle racing titles and more than 200 wins including two SCORE Baja 1000 wins, three SCORE Baja 500 wins and two SCORE Championship titles. Throughout his career Harden has held executive sales, marketing and race team management positions with leading European motorcycle OEMs, including KTM and Husqvarna. His track record for building brands and companies is well known throughout the industry.​

I came into the Husky fold shortly before Scot exited, but I gather he was one of the good ones from various comments I've seen. Hopefully he can help Zero become a major force in the industry.
