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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Brett is an awesome guy. He had bikes racing Baja too. Colin Edwards (MotoGP) is really involved too.

You know Brett? Awesome! Ya, the guy really cares about the kids for sure. I had a lot of fun with those guys at the after race BBQ.

All of Vegas treated these guys like Rock Stars - it was great to see. They went out to Nellis AFB, signed autographs for folks at the Exchange and got to roll with the Thunderbirds for a little while.

I have a childhood friend/fellow Iraq War Vet I put in touch w/Brett for the race. My friend, a double amputee, was co-pilot for
the Scott Racing Ford (that's my Bud on the right. We played little league and soccer togther growing up. Dude even had a crush on my Sis):

I don't really know Brett but we talked through FB and emails. That is the best organization I've seen for disabled vets. A lot of them are great and help financially or get them adaptive equipment but this gives them a piece of life back. Nothing feels better then the thrill of a race. I've posted about it here before. I really can't say enough about them.

My next thing is to get mike behind the wheel.
 
This race was a lot of fun even though I was the last 3 lap finisher - used up all my energy helping W7 in that narrow rock section during the first lap and that was it. Wish I was riding a smaller bike but no excuses. I'll be back next year to ride the full race (just before I hit the big Six Ohh), maybe on a 165 or 250.

found out that supposedly the "narrow rock" section was not part of the course we were supposed to go up to the right of that section........ I loved that section.....But for all laps got stuck behind guys in it big time, I ride that stuff all the time and was a 3 maybe 4 on the hard scale, but guys got hung up bigtime for 3 laps it was more than one rider lined up in there. The last lap was the most frustrating for me because I could not get past the guy in front of me he was rolling good on the open trail, knowing we were coming into the rock section I wanted to pass him and power through the narrows....I got stuck behind him in there again.
