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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

What is your favorite Innovation?

I am going to show my age. It was the snake pipe. I couldn't find a picture of one, on like a CZ, or something to post.:thumbsup:
 
Electric leg. I always stall in the worst situations for kick starting. The eleg (for a 4T at least) is the ducks guts.
 
How about Power Valves? I believe Yamaha had the first one in the 1970's? They sure did wonders for the Open Class bikes, in making them more rider friendly.
 
Number one... when liquid cooling came to town


Number two....Uni track...full floater...pro link...2nd gen monoshock...... or any iterations of the modern rising rate suspension....and inverted forks

Number three...plastic fuel tanks and seats that go all the way up to the fuel tank cap...in the old days they used to call them safety seats....and anyone who hit anything that stopped the bike dead in its tracks and had been unfortunate enough to slide forward real fast...knows exactly what I mean......:eek:


:busted:

You just need to get fitted properly. Probably wearing too large a cup :lol:

I'd have to go with the CS location on the 2011 Husky because it's the latest innovation. Time will tell if it's worth a shyte! :D
 
If you wanted to have some nostalgia you could go to cuil.com and search for Husqvarna. They have a really interesting timeline for the bikes.

I went their because I was curious, their search bots have been all over this site non-stop.
 
Can't disagree with any of them folks. I am looking forward to the supposed attributes of an efi 2 stroke. If its ture then they will be amazing bikes (much wider power band, twice the existing fuel range, no more polluting than a 4 stroke). So lets keep the innovations coming.
 
ghte,

I was thinking the same thing but opted for a personal chuckle seeing as I probably won't be alive when they finally pull the trigger on the DI 2T.
