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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

I did hear that thing about Glen Helen and how the AMA made some demands and Bud said no thanks.

I'm always impressed with the Aussies and how such a small country (in population) has such a high number of top level athletes in nearly every sport they compete in. Swimming, surfing, moto-x, tennis, sailing, rowing, bicycling, golf...
 
in defense of other countries I always state this it would be like us adding fifty states seperate to the MXoN, really Belgium, how many people are even in the country of belgium, and how many race dirtbikes of that number. what if we sent only a florida team or a colorado team or the more thought provoking cali team?? that would be more like Italy, Belgium etc. ...It doesnt matter its just for thought.

Very good points you make Robert!
And going back to the old days and the begining of MX, think about the population Sweden, Finland, UK etc etc.

One theory I'd put out is that if you're not good enough for pro soccer, you're still able, just through fitness to be a top level bicyclist or motocross er.

ETA this reminds me of the Nebraska football program going after basketball players for their natural height, then sending them to the weight room.....made themselves some superior linemen.
 
A couple of thoughts.

We don't make these machines in the US and they really aren't our heritage. The heritage is Euro. Japanese copied the bike but not the riders.
