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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

As a dealer you get charged for the bike and freight. The setup is an add on. That part I agree is wrong. Your going to charge to get the bike ready for the customer? the to me is part of being the dealer. The freight is a real charge, the bike has to get to the dealer somehow. Dealers are not making much on new bike sales unless they are selling streetbikes.

I agree it is a real charge but.... I "as a past KTM dealer" never charged it.... I just feel its a part of selling the bike... yes it eats into the "margin" but your not making a living off of selling bike.... sell that bike at very little margin and get them back in for parts and hopefully service (where you are making money).... just my thought... and I wont pay shipping either to me thats a "car" dealer type deal... you say setup is an "addon" heck they gotta pay a guy to put it together so its a real charge.... they are both part of doing business.... IMO a dealer gets a bike a puts it together they should do more than slap the parts on.... again just my opinion but I guess not to many "real" dealers left....
