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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Should Husqvarna get in the Quad and SxS business?

Ok Ok you guys sure do have and opinion**************************************** I'm not sure. Gas Gas tried it and it did not seem to work for them. I know they drink beer and ruin trails, but they do spend money. BMW/Husqvarna would have to do some educated R and D and fiqure out how long it would take to make any money back. In a way I like the idea because as a company you should be diverse and sell different products. As far as taking away funds for R and D, it sure seems it would not effect the 2-stroke line because there seems to be NO r and d. If I had the funds. Yes I would buy one for sure. I agree, In Minnesota EVERYONE has and ATV, us dirtbikers are the oddballs. The 4-wheeler guys have more pull and more clubs and more money to help get more riding areas open, so sadly, Yes I say Husky should make and ATV. In MN the atv's plow driveways in the winter, drag driveways in the spring and pull deer out in the fall and fix fence lines all year. We must ALL be open to change and in todays market and economy you either figure a way out to lead or get left behind and then your done. Yes Husky make sport ATV's, and utility. If they could make money at it, that I'm not educated enough to know. Just some thoughts!
 
I don't have a thing against ATV's as long as they stay in the driveway's & pull out deer as mentioned above. Open to change around here on ATV's means open to deep ruts, big quad mud circles & fiqure eights & beer cans strewn all over. I can't blame landowners & others from closing off the area's. They have really messed up a lot of real good riding area. It is just plain ridiculous. I don't want Husky to have any part in that :thumbsdown:
 
Quads have a real rural application, particularly in steep grazing country. But on the trails they are a total blight. It find it hard to say this and not be considered a biggot, however the mentality demonstrated by the quad set beggars the mind. They show scant concern for the environment and excell in destruction
 
I would probably get a quad, a ranger type 4x4 and also a Husky jet ski. Just as long as the come in red, white and black! Mom would look good on the farm running around instead of the John Deere gator!
 
Between the dune riding in Oregon and utility activity I hear that ATVs far outsell dirt bikes in this neck of the woods. Different strokes for different folks, but it might not be the worst thing to happen for some dealers if Husky sold ATVs.
 
If Husky ever started wasting their time and money on ATV's when they need to update their bikes and build a WR 200 instead of a 125 I'd quit buying and riding Huskys. I WILL seriously waste several bullets on any QUADTARD I catch on my singletrack. They have overrun and destroyed any and all trails at the local riding parks.
