• Husqvarna Motorcycles Made In Sweden - About 1988 and older

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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Enduro Timekeeping Made Easy

sounds like a great plan, and i bet the geometry changes will really help. mine had a really smooth easy starting mill..
going for years unchanged is kind of a yamaha thing...the warrior, blaster, and banshee were the same way.

thats pretty awesome your daughter is liking riding..i think thats the best thing a dad could hope for..
 
my no1 daughter had a little xr 80 then a dr 200 for awhile then Uni, boys and gone...doesn't take long that's for sure. no 2 wasn't interested.

Sorry Mike, of course they're a race- they hand out trophies...

I became an enduro rider after hare scrambles became annoying. I could race against myself but also against my buddies in a less stressful environment. For the same cash I got to ride for 6 hrs instead of beating myself up for 2 1/2 hrs.

I helped run the Newark enduro in western NY- until it's death the longest continually run enduro in the US. The meteor enduro started a year or two earlier but we started up earlier after WWII.
We never had people zeroing checks as Kartwheel experienced. It's currently run as a dual sport over the same trails -the Monkey Butt

The lack of entries caused it's death :mad:

I think the Jack Pine has Newark beat....
 
Agree...first official Jack Pine winner was Oscar Lenz in 1923...but Lansing M/C club members say the event really got it's start back in the late 1910's...
Big Holly's in deep sand!
 
My understanding is the Jack Pine and Sandy Lane had more interruptions- longest run without interruption. The elders in the club were always quick to point this out but... That record could have changed as the Newark enduro died, what 3 years ago?

It way longer than 3 years ago now. ABB took it over one year, but it wasn't the Newark anymore. It might be 6 or 7 years since last Newark.
 
Jack Pine has been run continually since 1923 and only missed 1942, 1943, 1944 and 1945 for WWII. WCMC was founded in 1928, 5 years after the Jack Pine started running, so I think the elders embellished a little Pete.
 
This March Meteor MC will be hosting the 80th Sandy Lane Enduro. Our enduro is the oldest continuously run by the same club. Check out the link of our 75th display. meteormc.com/75th-sandy-lane-enduro.html

Total respect for MMC and Sandy Lane, but they are the Junior enduro partner to Lansing Motorcycle Club and the Jack Pine. 2017 Jack Pine will be the 92nd run, by the the same club since 1923 and they only skipped 4 years for WWII.

The 75th was a great celebration with a number of vintage bikes entered in the enduro.
BTW, if you look at the photo gallery...the 3 older gents...all are Sandy Lane champs.
1. Most will recognize John Penton
2. Perhaps many will recognize Charley Stapleford...ECEA icon that STILL rides enduros
3. The fellow in the blue jacket is Gene Esposito from Brooklyn NY, 64 and 65 winner on a Triumph 500.
