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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Husqvarna back into the MX2 FIM Motocross World Championship


Posted: Sunday, 12th September, 2010

Italian manufacturer Husqvarna has announced they will come back to race the FIM MX1/MX2 Motocross World Championship campaign in 2011 with the support of a top team –to be announced shortly- which will line up two factory Husqvarna TC 250.

The news was given through a press conference hosting Husqvarna Racing Activities Coordinator and PR Martino Bianchi and Husqvarna Racing R&D Responsible Pierluigi Zampieri.

After three successful seasons in the MX3 World Championship and in the EMX2 European Championship, where Husqvarna took second in MX3 with Salvini as well as a second and fourth position in the EMX2 in 2010, the manufacturer is eager to take part again in the FIM Motocross World Championship which they left at the end of 2005, their last season in MX1 with Antoine Meo and Daniele Bricca.

Joining forces with a well established team, which the manufacturer will announce later on in the month, Husqvarna hopes in breaking into the MX2 top 10 in 2011 with its full factory squad. Also the two riders will be announced later this month or in October.

The Husqvarna TC 250 will feature the fuel injection and the same type of bike will continue being used in the EMX2 series where the manufacturer will have satellite teams, competing also in the MX3 World Championship.

Husqvarna was created in 1903 and is currently owned by the BMW group. The manufacturer owns 77 World Titles among all off road disciplines.
