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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

I really hope Husqvarna retains the 3 points of the gun sight in the tank/rad shrouds. No other brand has anything like the visual signature the Husky gun sight is.

First of all I am very sorry if I offended
anyone.That is not what I intended to do!
I thought we were disscussing the pros and
cons of the new BMW/Husqvarna.I am a huge
motorcycle fan and I have loved and owned
motor bikes my whole life. All makes and models.
I even have a Harley for crimany sakes! Let's not
get into that one. I guess it shook me up
a little when I see a radical take over and huge
changes to a beautiful bike like the Husqvarna.
The cagiva factory is tiny compared to the
giants in Taiwan and Germany. The Italians are
very passionate about there bikes. Again sorry if
I offended anyone.

I doubt very seriously you are offending many ... lol ... Your gun just ain't that big :) ... Your opinion is fine and and pros and con should be welcomed ... we're all grown-ups here, right? And I do not think this is a place for 'glossy magazine covers' only either... If so, ...

This is just one model of bike ... It is not proven no matter how much smoke is blown out here in these groups ... The bike will be raced shortly, A.K.A. a live performance is coming :banana: .. It does have the bmw stamp and they own the company ... Maybe it will be a very good bike and produce results and sales numbers :) Maybe not ... Racing results will say a lot but not everything ...

The supermoto guys are still winning with the current motors and it would seem highly doubtful that bmw will allow Husky to 'can' the current models till sales numbers are a reality on this new bike.

PS -- I have a Harley also ... I found out that they are a big, heavy clunky motorcycle ... Fun to ride and they make alot of noise :)
