• 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 don't doubt the ability of the 511 to win races, but you know Kelly is getting up there in age and it might just be time to start thinking about something a little smaller, lighter and less power. Maybe the 165 is the better choice? :thinking:

That does look a bit like you :thinking:

Would the 511 save a pit stop because of better mpg?

2x50 mile loops and everyone stops.....ya just gotta be able to make the 50 miles and you arent allowed to carry any fuel that isnt plumbed into the tank. I dont know how 165s do on fuel, but I have seen 511s make this loop with fuel to spare.

I have a 3.5 gallon tank and a Lectron carb on the 165, 50 miles is nothing. Nomad on the 511, both will do 50 EZ.
 
...and the 165 is putting the hammer down on the 511...:popcorn:

When is the cutoff date/finish line for the choice?

Leaving friday, race is sunday. Probably taking the 165. My thought was to preserve it for the Idaho City Qualifier but got a month to sort that out.

Here's your answer, K. It's a race, run the bike that will handle race speeds the best. Plus as a bonus, kicking butt on a 10 year old bike is ..... way cool! Then there's the two-stroke smallbore thing.....

All the reasons I was thinking. BUT the big 511 got ridden out there last time and was fun with its big power. Honestly the 165 is soft on the suspension side but my fork springs are supposed to be here today.

if you're riding the 165 in Idaho you should be on it to become one with yer ring dinger.

I have been ridding the tires off the 165 since I built it last fall. It is an extension of me and I love it. One of the big reasons to get the big girl out (511) was to give her some time.
 
Thanks, taking the 165. Hope my elbow tendinitis is tolerable for 100 miles of racing. Was hopping it would be gone by now. Advil here i come :>) I guess it is obvious I am near the 50 cless :>) Been a rough couple of days and am now in scramble mode to make this race happen. See ya all there.

That's good, because racing the 511 on stock TE suspension is pretty crazy. As far as your tendinitis goes, you really should look into flexx bars, they help all your upper joints.
