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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Husqvarna won first national enduro in decades

AA Class
For the first time in decades a Husqvarna was on the first step of the podium at a National Enduro here in South Africa when Altus de Wet won the event on his TE 449.

Altus de Wet (Husqvarna Racing) became the third winner in the 2013 Liquorland National Enduro Motorcycle Championship when he won a wet, slippery and cold ‘KEI National Enduro’, the third round of the championship that took place on Saturday (11 May) at the Spring Valley Farms outside East London in the Eastern Cape. De Wet (28) won all three of the longer special timed stages during a well organised event where only a handful of points (seconds) separated the competitors.

Cool to see how won it on a 449. These are great machines that just needed the attention and continued development like any other bike. Sad to see it go before everyone realized how good it is and can be.

It doesn't look like a 449.
 
Looks like in SA they have been developing the 449 platform. So much so that it now looks like an X-lite. :D
