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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Supercross Time!

Great race in the 250 class !

On the other hand, more and more injured riders after 3 events : barcia, bogle, stewart,... and what do you think about canard? Sure he is a tough guy, but don't you think he is pushing too hard?

Canard just has awful luck. A healthy Trey Canard is a beast, but he's almost never healthy. Always seems to be something. This last incident was small in comparison to other injuries.

I didn't even know Barcia was injured until race time when I saw Filthy Phil filling in for him.

Stewart may wanna just retire. He was cleared to race in San Diego, said he felt 100% in Anaheim and opted out? Certainly not being employed by me.

Baggett was hurt before the season even started - WTH???

It does seem that MX in today's format is chewing up and spitting out a lot of riders. it has given me more respect for Dungey and his consistent/fast/fundamental riding style.
 
I was looking forward to seeing the race live Saturday night at the HnH race under the stars, but it was to windy and cold to sit outside and catch pneumonia before the race.
 
Halfway through the championships, Osborne is a solid 3rd in the 250 class


And another major change in the same class but I don't want to spoil in case some reader has not seen the race yet...

Great racing all around. Both Dungey and Webb look like they own their class, so....

They do for sure, but what happened to webb's bike? I saw him brake hard with the rear before the curve, and then he stalled the bike ? A lot of smoke, had to pull out , and then he finally rejoined... Weird
 
He said something about gas cap vapor lock? They interviewed him after the race and he said it had happened once before. Then he kicked it once, it fired up, and he rode away like nothing had happened during the race.
 
Bad luck. Last year a lot of yamahas at the Touquet enduro in France refused to fire after refueling at the pit stop. Two or three guys were kinda leading the race and lost it after trying to kick their bike at least 50 times without success...

Anyway that makes the 250 championship alive

Mapping has a lot to do with that. I remapped my 2011 YZ450 with a GYTR tuner and it made a big difference in performance but was harder to start so I went back and adjusted the low rpm fuel and timing, now you can kick it as slow as if you're trying to find TDC and it will start. It also made it much less likely to flame out.
 
direct from KTM factory services (my friend has a factory services Husky "FC350" build machine)--- "yes sometimes you can get "vapor" lock, you need to pop the QD on the fuel line from the tank to the fuel manifold." so they did that and the beast started right up and continued to run fine.
