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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!
That 250 looks great!
I sold Fred this bike. He and Joe did a great job restoring it. I loaned him a complete '87 430WR front end for the better brake, but Fred worried that it might not pass technical inspection, so stayed with the original.http://www.cyclenews.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/16ISDE_-1050.jpg?x36140
this is proof the early single piston disc brakes work ok
although i will stay with my dual piston ones
but he did compete and he WON![]()
That 250 looks great!
Right back at you Joe! When I bought that '86 a few years ago from Mike at the North East Husky Gathering, I never dreamed that it would end up being part of this. Glad to be a small part of this piece of history, with credit to all your hard work helping Fred get it up to standard and of course to Fred.... riding it like Fred does!Guys.....None of this would have happened if Norm did not offer his 86......He invested some Swedish Steel and got a return of Gold!
Big kudos to our very own, Husky King, waver of the flag and beater of the Husky drum......Norm Foley
Thanks Norm!
