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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!

Gunar holeshots the 1st moto in shorts!
Other Husky legends showed with no gear but still rode hard despite this. Borrowed gear led to some "Stimulus package gone wrong" ensambles!
Cunnimgham shakes his head after Scot blasts by.
TC gets "back on it" to make a move on Scot.
Freight train of "Legends"
Scot leading some Legends around.
Nick Burson getting pressured by a legend
Not the Baja.....but Hardin going WFO!
Ron Ribolzi leading Kearney
Burson appears to like the 1984 WR400!
But later, Burson gets "owned" by Ribolzi
Classic Cunningham......still fly's!
T.C. moving on Ty Davis
King Richard
And King Richard again.
Cory Grafunder gets "owned" by King Richard!
But then Cory Grafunder moves on a legend
Again, Grafunder makes another move on a legend
Kearnney appears to "like" the old WR 430!

Glad you enjoyed Mid Ohio Bob. Wish I could have gone.
That exhibition race was extremely special. Just under that was the Saturday evening dinner.
Unbelievably cool lecture & discussion given by Gunner Lindstrom - he was the highlight of my trip, great guy.
As things came up the people in the audience that had lived through what he was talking about would come up on stage and say a few words.
He showed some pictures on the monitor, and I took a few pics of them. Hope these are ok to put up, they are low resolution & distorted from having the TV monitor setup wrong (stretched).
I'll make the rest smaller so as not to clog your internet pipeline too much.
- Central Jersey Cycles - north east
- Upstate Cycles - south east
- Bills Motorcycle Plus - north west
- Malcolm Smiths Motorsports - south west
- Halls cycles - midwest & USA overall
- Tri County Motorsports (southern California) - rookie of the year
Yes... a few pics.

My 1987 430 was part of the Husqvarna display and I have taken around 300 photos. If you would like to check them out go to my company site"its the best way I can show them". www.troutnerphotography.com and then go to my event and then motorsports. What a great time it was.

Regarding Gerald, I'm guessing, but I think that may be his significant other. His smile seems to suggest that as well. I'm happy for him. He's a great guy and a great advocate for Husky!
I was glad to see they were prepared.

This took me by surprise, thought it was someone else for a brief moment.
There was a vendor there from the Netherlands - Super B batteries, it was really a nice battery, they should be arriving in the usa soon.
