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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

RIP Tom White

Motorcycle industry icon and 1/2 of the White Bros., Tom White lost his battle with cancer this week and passed away at the far too young age of 68. Tom was one of the good guys in our sport and will be missed. I talked to him in March of this year at the Husky World Championships where he was the race announcer and he looked as healthy as ever. That just shows how quickly that dreaded disease can do it's damage.
Godspeed Tom...
 
I first started to work with Tom White back in 1979 Back then he help me build a 1979 Honda We used a custom C&J Frame with a White Bros XR 500 motor Fox Forks and Fox Shocks

Great bike way ahead of its time in the 4 stroke world. Raced it at the 4 stroke Nationals at Carlsbad many times In the early eighties it was White Brothers if you needed a part

68 is way to young Just goes to show you life is a gift from God and you can be called home anytime.
