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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Sorry man. Don't be too hard on yourself, that is an easy oversight that could happen to anyone. You should see some of the stuff I see people go out of their way to do to ruin their stuff, then they want to blame someone else, proving their stupidity and poor character. You are owning up and taking it like a man, proving an honest mistake and very good character.:thumbsup:

I've had a lot of people tell me I should have taken the bike into the shop and tried to get them to fix it under warranty. Even after I told them it was my fault, they're like, "So what." Well, that shows the mentality of some people who will try to lie their way out of something because a company has deep pockets. Sure, fixing my bike under warranty wouldn't cost Husqvarna that much, but I'd have to live with it. I'd rather just pay the bill and be done with it. Probably going to sell the bike now anyway, once I get it back. We'll see. Thanks for the kind words.
 
And now, for the rest of the story... Will purchase a 2017 FE 501. I did sell the TE, and got a good price, three years ago. Now, it's time to upgrade to newer technology. I was reading this sorry story again, brought back memories. The new bike will go down the same super moto road again.
