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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Just thought I'd share this picture. Stored away and collecting dust upstairs of almost 1984 125 World Champions Corrado Maddi's workshop are Alessio Chiodi's 1998 and 1999 World Championship CR 125's.

In 2006 I was visiting Italy and was lucky enough to get invited to ride at Corrado's house. Afterwards we went back for a tour of the olive oil factory he operates that's been in his family for generations. I asked if he had any of his old bikes...I was hoping to see some 1980s works Cagivas. In a dust covered old room he had one of his Gilera's from the 1970's and the 2 title winning 125 Huskys that he managed.

Check out that pipe and carbon fiber sidepanels & rear fender.
