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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 thought you might enjoy that article. I actually have almost every edition of that mag from end 1981 to early 1990s and they contain numerous tests of all sorts of bikes from that era, including a few Huskies... I pull them out occasionally and they bring back some great memories.
Just Fun!!! and bored maybe? I must go riding more
Ha ha, or their and there or your and you're and let's not forget the I got or you got instead of I have or you've got which is one my wife the writer corrects me on all the time. What do you expect from a bunch of motorheads?Huskys or Huskies, use what you prefer. I'd think if someone wanted to champion the improved usage of English on this bb.... They would take more of an issue with, the use (or misuse) of "to" and "too"!
I drink ya maybee wright now I think Illl ride my Husker or mayber Ill do a Ktaint
all of you! Proper english aside. Yep, to and too and their and there etc.. No problem. All excusable. Any time I see a
orange riding guy (yea I know some of you like both brands!) I have no problem with agent orange. But EVERYONE who has rode a Husky for any length of time knows without saying. Huskys is Huskys and not Huskies! If it was simply a Husky guy who made a mistake, no prob, but it figures it's a guy who owns a KTM. And I'm sorry but most of them are like the guys I know who only think GM makes good trucks and cars. Now I'm bored and to (or is it too?) think all this drama over a picture of and ugly bike**************************************** (The KTM) 
The CAGIVA was awesome****************************************!!
Now lets all 
and settle it on the trail****************************************!!!
Thanks for the thread because that old 85 made it all worth it**************************************** That was the bike that made me the way I'm. Oh yea, don't forget the 
to go with the beer!! OK, OK Iv'e exceeded the 15 minutes my wife allows me on the internet each night!
That's a heavy burden for such a fine old machine to carry...
Why, does she need you for something else that exceeds 15 minutes?OK Iv'e exceeded the 15 minutes my wife allows me on the internet each night!
Those old mags I have from the 80s have tests on many other Huskies from that era, if you are interested.
You can tell it's winter time. People suffer from riding withdrawl, get cabin fever & start getting wound about semantics and other such minor things...........
Good Job**************************************** I like it**************************************** Iv'e been called alot of things both good and bad, but at this time in Minnesota I'm about the fastest Husky guy there is!! Not quite double A, but hey. I make my point with a bad
smallbore**************************************** And I'm fast enough I rarely get passed, ever (unless a hot double aa guy has a 13 and I'm on 12. I pass ALOT of Orange with bigger engines both 2 and 4 stroke and LOVE it**************************************** I hear people mumble, thats the fast basterd on a Husky, or key off that guy. I like it, and LOVE my (our) brand with great dedication. Just like Airborne Rangers, there has to be people that are true ANTI KTM guys!! When I won Vet A in 04, the Ktm rep said, if you were on a KTM you just would of made $500.00, I looked him right in the eye and told him he could cram the $500 up his a that I would not ride a KTM if it was free. Sorry. I respect all the guys who like both bikes. No problem, but they can have respect for me to. Sorry DEVIL bike (Gas Gas) like a hot brunette who trys to sucker you for the taking. Not gonna happen. I will be on a Husky for 2012********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************!!!
Yea I'm bored and need to ride****************************************!!OK we're up to over 2 pages of silly discussion here-
You can tell it's winter time. People suffer from riding withdrawl, get cabin fever & start getting wound about semantics and other such minor things...........
Not attacking or condemning, just sayin'
Kind of funny. Alot of people probably didn't even like the 85 125. I LOVED IT****************************************!! I still have pictures of me on that bike****************************************!! I wish she needed me for something longer then 15 minutes. Had this one for 8 years and like my old style better. Everytime it was time to renew my drivers license I would kick em out and change the lockset (not a joke) Now I get reminded on how she will have my truck and the house I built!! Thanks so much for sparking the old memories of that bike. When my bike is done I will post pics. Will be very interesting I can assure you!!! Modern Retro is how I describe it****************************************!!That's a heavy burden for such a fine old machine to carry...
