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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

125-200cc 167 kit... can hurt people apparently...

Damn! Weren't you just recovering from something else?

I went for my first real ride today. It worked flawlessly even though I was taking it very easy. I must say that the 167 will motor up some serious climbs at 4-5000 rpm. Towards the end of the ride I was letting it rip a little after ~25 miles of low end cruising. It definitely revs out and pulls much better than I expected. :cheers: Unfortunately at about the 27 mile mark I got upclose and personal with a nicely shaped rock and flew over the bars and seperated my shoulder. :thumbsdown::cry: Limped it the 12 miles to the truck and now I won't be riding for a few weeks at best. It is still up in the air if the docs think I need surgery. They want more tests tomorrow.

Walt really sorry to hear that. Make sure you shave your shoulder,chest and back before you Duct tape yourself back together. Hurts worse getting it off if you don't. Hold off on the new tire before the weekend doesn't sound like traction was the problem.

Going in for some back surgery tomorrow found a surgeon who knows what to do. It's hard to find one that knows and just doesn't practice medicine.

Thanks guys. I had fractured my wrist in December.

George,

My thoughts are with you. At least mine will definitely heal, backs are very tricky stuff. And yes giving yourself a bikini wax with duct tape is a tough way to go...Now that anyone that reads this is gagging on the visual, I will check out. Time to Ice again, I love ice, best pain killer there is.

Walt
 
Get better Walt! I just took a header the other day and landed on my shoulder.... Just badly bruised, so I'm lucky. I'm am also icing as I type. :busted:

George, good luck with the surgery and I'll talk to you soon.:thumbsup:
 
Too freggin' bad on the crash ... get well soon ... I usually wear my chest protector for the shoulder protection if nothing else but to protect my shoulders ...

My last shoulder crash was 5 months ago and it still hurts ... Not broke or anything, just old age :) ... I really try to limit the crashes now on each ride ... both big and small ...
 
I broke my shoulder last August and it still hurts...the range of motion is still out of whack...I think I did something to my rotator cuff. These damn bikes are so much fun, but are very dangerous at the same time. A couple weeks ago I went over the bars, but on the way over I took a very punishing bar to the gut. A couple of months ago I cracked a rib. At the desert 100 I swapped out over some sandy whoops and took a digger with my head. A month before that I went off a trail and hit a tree with my left hand guard that sent me flying into a branch that invaded my nostril. I stopped telling my mom about these things because she was really getting worried.

Get better guys and let's try to keep the rubber side down (me especially)!
 
Sorry to hear of your injury Walt, just when you were having so much fun.
I am doing my best to hold my speed down after my injury a year and a half ago, these bikes are not that much fun if you can't ride them. I realise that you can get hurt going any speed though.

Level 3 seperation of right ACL mothers day 09. Still aches but had no surgery. Worst pain in my life! Worse than getting blown up/shot for sure. 10 miles riding back to home was like almost as much pain as riding a KTM healthy for the same distance!

Get well soon all you other old farts.
Remember.....when the going gets tough....the tough ride Huskys!
 
Dang Walt sorry to hear about your crash. I am recovering from 5 broken ribs, busted spleen, cut liver, and concussion myself so I feel for ya. I wish you a speedy recovery. Good Luck to you too George.
 
Crap. Heal quick Walt and George. :cheers:

Walt, seems to need to sleeve it down not make it faster. Maybe George can make you up a 95cc kit or something. :D
 
Prayers be with you both.
I can really relate to both types of injurires.
Walt :
If the doctor suggests surgury for the shoulder I would go ahead and have it done. My right shoulder has been dislocated so many times that a good tug will pop it out the socket at this point. The last separation was two years ago and it has never really been right since.
George:
Best of luck on the surgury. If memory serves me correctly you and I suffer from a similar problem so if you really have found someone that knows what their doing I may need you to introduce me.
 
Yikes, sorry to hear the news. I guess we can officially close this thread, Monster 167 tries to kill it's owner! 144cc proven to be the upper limit of safety.

Says the dude with an AF CR500.
 
Well that was easy like changing a piston on a aircooled 2 stroke. Looks like 2-3 weeks for the stitches to desolve. No lifting,rotating or bending, puts a damper on just about everything I have to do. Didn't think this one thru.
Just waiting for the deadners to wear off have the Vicodan,Tequilla handy.
Went for option #1 just local pain killer, Damn they have some long needles 600 main jets in them.
Kinda cool 5 Nurses all doing there thing Dr. busy doing his procedures lots of stuff going on. Had the full I-Beat setup, wired to the max,wires everywhere, leg pump things that enflate back and forth on full auto along with BP inflater on full auto also. Can't feel any pain only movement you can only picture in your mind whats happening thru what think you feel.
Not that would want to do it again but if had to Option #1 is my choice much better than going totally under.
Ok Walt bets on I ride before you do.
