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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Claudio Castiglioni, 64 years old and President of MV Agusta Motor S.p.A. passed away on 17th of August in Varese, Italy , after a courageous battle against an illness.
Claudio Castiglioni has marked twenty years in the history of Husqvarna. From 1987 to 2007, the year that the company was sold to the BMW Group, the charismatic entrepreneur from Varese, Italy relaunched the Swedish brand and obtained important results in sales as well as in motorsports. Among the main products introduced under Castiglioni are all the Husqvarna Supermoto models, headed by the limited edition Nox, the TE510 Centennial, an enduro special edition launched on the occasion of the centenary of the historic brand, and the 610, produced as a Dual Sport version and a Supermoto.
55 of Husqvarna’s 78 world titles were obtained during the Castiglioni era in the disciplines of motocross, enduro and supermoto. One cannot forget the 500cc World Motocross Championship won by Jacky Martens on the TC610 in 1993, the first 4 stroke bike to dominate modern motocross, the first victory in an AMA Supercross race in the United States by a European motorcycle manufacturer (2001 Atlanta - Travis Preston - Husqvarna CR125 – team Fast by Ferracci), and the 44 world titles won in Enduro with Team CH Racing of Fabrizio and Roberto Azzalin.
Thanks Claudio!
Husqvarna Motocross, Enduro and Supermoto racing teams will race with a black armband in the next world championship race as a sign of mourning of the former President and owner.
