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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Do they know what your husky is when they see it? There are so many manufacturers bikes there and it seems they are all cheaper (i get the cheap transportation thing). Just wondering if the husky name means anything there.

There was one race you had posted where there was a big manufacturer there, ktm if i remember right. So they do come across some bikes that we see often
 
First, I gotta retract that link off page 1 ... Wrong web site :) ... Its an interesting link but goes back to England ... It linked to some Harris built high-speed bikes..

Huskies are known here by some of the MX racers and some of the real trail riders because the bikes were here yrs back I guess or via the net... So it has ~value... But the average guy in the mountains just sees a big cool bike bouncing along at speed...

KTM had a racing presence here once but I'm not sure exactly what and if it still exists now ... Husky was said to have a team in Manila now but not sure what that is about since I sort of dropped out of the racing scene ... I should follow up on it anyway ...

There are tons of small 100-155cc bikes here. Apparently, bikes of this size is where the japan companies make the bulk of their sales numbers. A 125cc 4t bike can pull alot of weight in 1st, 2nd gears and that is needed here. They have the bike-sales model for here well under control. This is big bike, not an underbone as so popular here so a little different niche rider here or wallet size... Probably a china bike here and probably priced right at ~1K... Honda is probably ok with its supply line selling a few piston and ring sets and what ever else for these bikes ..
 
Smaller cc's are great on gas mileage too. The cheaper the daily rider is good too. I could ride all day with my Suzuki ts185. I miss that bike when gas was $5 a gallon.
