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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Some 1990's Husaberg/Husky 4T MX action

Poor Trampas Parker never had the luck in the GP's. Had the skill for sure but he had the brad lacky syndrome (all but brads last part). USA riders never seemed to have the luck in the GPs

didnt he win the 125 championship once or twice in the early 90s on a KTM??
 
ca.1989
From Racer X-- "Trampas Parker went on to become the first American to win a 125cc world title that year; two years later he added the 250cc world title, making him the first American in GP history to ever take two world championships. And a few years after that, he won a 500cc GP, making him the only rider in U.S. MX history to do that. He should and will be in the Hall of Fame soon."

That guy got me interested in KTMs along with the Enduro racers.

There was a lot of great racing that year in the 500 class. I bought the whole series review video in some shop in Italy years ago. Unfortunately it's a VHS tape and they are formatted different and won't play in a US VHS player. All the commentary was in Italian...but it was pretty funny, after one of Parker's DNF's (I think the front end broke off his KTM) they stuck the camera in his face when he was walking off the track and he is just cussing up a storm in English...called his KTM an effin piece you know what.....!
