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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

CONGRATULATIONS ZACH OSBORNE AND HUSQVARNA!

Not sure why Savagty did what he did but it was not the first time he screwed up during a race this season... Those lanes are side-by-side and his pit had to be telling him ZO was on the way ... He never makes excuses though and might even be a little hard on himself ... Life is full of excuse makers and oh-so-many who will never admit they were wrong ... Narcissist types are ~100% like this ..

Here are JS words on that race: Again, I do not understand why he did not know what was happening but I'm OK with this young American rider.

Joey Savatgy: (14th in 250SX) “It’s unfortunate I keep making these mistakes. We learned a lot this year and I’m looking forward to moving on and rebounding from this season. It was a rollercoaster season to say the least. What happened on the last lap I didn’t see coming and should have. I would have probably done the same thing in that situation, but it hurts being on the losing end of a take out.”

-- The ZO move ..

I'm not one to justify running over guys and saying 'that is racing' but in this case, ZO came from dead-last++ on championship night. He had no business catching Savatgy or Smith but there it is right in front of you. JS had the inside line in the whoops and for whatever reason, gave it up to ZO in the corner. Anyone and everyone who has ever raced knows to protect the inside line. It is really baffling to me. I just lay it off to young riders.

ZO is actually in the lead here ...

All 3 of those riders on that board want a 450 ride ... Hill seems the best suited and factory Yamahammer should have an open slot next yr ... These guys seem pretty cool even in the lame press conferences that was invented this yr.
 
In addtition to ZO's amazing championship and JA cleaning out Reedy and pouncing for the moto win, rookie MX2 Husky rider TKO19 won his first moto and overall the same weekend :banana:
 
Yeah, am suprised no one said it sooner. SX title is great, but MX still means more to me and the rest of the world too, I think. Husky is rising to the top in MX now also, contending in both MX2 and MXGP and 2 out of 3 on MXoN team. Really happy to see the old marque back on top after 30 years.
Maybe KTM will resurrect Maico next :banana:
 
And he raw dogged the piss out of his 250! Man the clutch was smoking and the mechanics were sweating asking him to go easy on the bike. The Husky held together strong and another championship is in the books

Let's hope he ends the season on a high note and carries the confidence into the MXdN.
 
are US riders going to ride the USGP in big numbers?

I think Seely, Osborne and Covington are a stronger MXdN teamUSA than a lot of people are saying. Of course the french are strong, brits too. Italians should be in contention.
 
Well the deadline for entries has passed, but I don't find a list of riders yet.

I think it's a strong team too. Seely isn't our best, but he's fast and smart. Osbourne is a no-brainer if he's willing and able to go. Covington has been pushing to the top this year and is an NC boy! See last weeks MX2 moto 2 in Sweden for an example :thumbsup:

MIAs: marvin, seely, bogle, peick, craig, davalos, wilson
no surprise: baggett

it's not a great showing of AMA riders, but it is a step above the alessi-chislom type that show up most time.

...and MX2 (frome Racer X)

MIAs: osborne, mcelrath, j-mart, plessinger

good to see the new kid Justin Cooper- I wish youthstream (or whoever) would make it cheap to race.

Nice find, thanks! Was really hoping to see ZO line up with the MX2 guys. Looks like TC64 and TKO19 are the best hope for Husky in MX2.
Glad to see JB51 back, too bad JA can't make it :( should be more great racing :cheers:
 
Yep well done ZO, thouroughly deserved wins in and outdoors. He was really enjoyable to watch - from a fox subsciber sitting on his lounge half a world away, and that is what this display is all about.It will be super interesting to see how he gos on the big bikes. Hopefully Hunter Lawrence and Haydn Melross make a good showing at the USGP.
