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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!
I made it to the finish, it was a very hard event and I had a lot of challenges to deal with. The 300 Berg was amazing, it will do things I never imagined.
I hung out with the Berg team all week. Keep an eye on Alfredo Gomez, he is coming along on a very fast track.
It looks like the whole team will be riding Husky's by November, photo shoots are already scheduled. It is basically just new graphics on the same team and bikes. No word on Letti, I did not get a chance to ask him.

I love how other locales embrace these sort of events ----try closing downtown (add your choice of US town or city) and holding an event like this.
