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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Buddy Scott on his way to the Ironman 2nd place (out of about 20 ironmans) in a 6 hour partial night race. 08 TXC450 that has seen everyting and then some. Countless trail miles, races all over the NW and as far a Perry Mt 24hr. 160 mile DS days, you name it Scott has pounded it out on this bike. Still hole shots and rules. Oh, had a Motoz Tracula rear with about 1800 miles on it :eek: Good stuff. :thumbsup:

Funny, the catch all folder I put this pic in also contained a pix of Scott doing the same thing back when the bikes was newer.

Scott+dead engine start+TXC450=holeshot
 
This bike has given me more dead engine hole shot starts than I can remember. The only times that I don't get the jump on everyone else is when they have some crazy ass start that requires me to jump over stuff(like a moto starting gate)and run to the bike. Short legs and hurdles usually provides some pretty good laughs from the spectators and a soil sample by me.
No kidding on the rear tire, 1800+ miles and I am planning on using at a race this weekend. I finally had to retire the front tire after the Foggy Dew Ride a few weeks ago. I had 1600 miles on it.
 
Man Scott the rest of the field looks like they are gassing up or something and you are just GONE! Congrats.
 
Didn't you spend a good amount of time helping a downed rider to boot? :notworthy::notworthy::notworthy::notworthy:

Yes I did tend to a downed rider. For anyone who has rode with me knows that I have a habit of watching things off of the trail also (like mushrooms). So I am 4.5 miles into the 6 hour event with a pretty good jump on the rest of the Ironman class and riding in clean dust free air when I look over into the grass and see a bike and rider off course and down. I pull over and layed my bike over and checked his condition . I asked him his name and if he remembered what happened and what was injured. He said that he wasn't sure about how the crash happened but he was pretty sure that he broke his shoulder again. He told me that he had the pins removed 3 months ago from a previous shoulder injury and it pretty much felt like it did the first time he broke it.
By now another rider who I know (shawn) stoped and asked if I was alright, he didn't see the injured rider at first. I asked Shawn to go to the first check or first sweep rider and let then know that there was a rider down at 4.5 miles from the start. Shawn took off and I stayed with the rider.
I lost some time but it was the right thing to do and the race was 6 hours long. I can say that it was a bit challenging riding back through the dust of the entire Ironman wave, so much for the clean air plan:)
