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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Another supplier to get parts, plus "according to them: same tools, same suppliers, same parts. production in Italy"

I'm all for it
 
So, what happened?
When BMW sold the name to KTM, they sold all the leftover stuff to the Chinese?
This could be a good thing- I don't mind what name is one the tank, but the 630 is too sweet just too fall out of production.
 
If they sell them here I will be tempted to buy one as a backup to my current 630. I really like mine and there won't be anything like it again I'm thinking.
 
Are they really building the Italian husky's, I mean shinerays, in Italy still? May the parts actually work and not be sloppy chineses parts?
