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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Actual news on the KTM purchase of Husqvarna

you might be right I just don't have a big love for CF. I have seen my share of snapped CF parts on MTB's to know i don't want any. Most if not all commercial airplanes are built of aluminum and rivets for a reason :cool:
 
Not any more, there not! Latest generation fighter aircraft are now mainly synthetic. That bike´d be useless for me. But I just like the pornography.
 
They were actually developing that bike about 10 years (I think) ago, I remember reading about it in an Aussie fmx mag. I was surprised to see it is still around. Thought it had become one of those cool ideas that never took off or became stalled from lack of funds, a bit like the Ossa enduro bike.

Mr. Pierer : I must move all Husky's production from Italy to Austria ,pronto****************************************
Pierer's right hand man: But sir, we all ready have an Italian firm building our case parts, won't this piss off our vendor(s) in Italy!?!
Mr. Pierer : Damn it! I am the boss and I don't want to use that brand new ,state of the art factory in Italy!
Pierer's right hand man: BUT, but, but sir...what about our ktm parts ....like this...
 
Ford & GM get all kinds of cheap parts from Japan too.

You know one day I was taking a little drive from Germany to see a friend in Austria. At one point I took a wrong turn on the highway and ended up at Italy. All looked the same to me. You guys make too much of these little countries and their borders.

It's like complaining that your microwave was assembled in Texas instead of Arizona. :lol:

I would not want a "plastic" frame on my MC.

I think you are wrong about commercial airplanes. Both Boing and Airbus use composites in their planes. You may be in a hardhat area and not know it.
:D

But normally they try not to fly airplanes trough the rocks like I do my MC so it is not a good analogy.

The problem I have with Carbon Fiber is that when it doeas fail it's more than likely to be "Catastrophic failure". That means "OUCH"!
 
Have had my CCM 644DS sumo for ten years now, Ridden it every day. And still prefer it to my Husky 630SM. `Tis lighter and a lot more agile, so I don´t mind it not having the same power.

Looks like the CTS 4 sure and maybe the linkage is under the SA this time ... Totally not interested in this bike myself but maybe the CTS will get a valid review this time ...

Agree. I don´t much like it either. But CCM´s supposed to be coming out with a sumo on the same frame with the same engine (but with a six-speed box) and that´s the kind of bike they´re really good at. Should also look good.
