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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!
Ray Ray, just think how some of the old Brits feel about a "Mini Cooper" being built by the same company who made the engines of some of the bombers from Nazi Germany. Nobody ever seems to ask where BMW got their roundel design from haha.
There are thousands of members here on this site .. The more people who response on any given subject, the better that the subject matter might can get covered ... Sort of the saying, 2 heads are better than one ...
Man I hope so, I will by one and turn it into a 200Wonder if they will import the TE125?
I will probably go the 175 route with that one. Use the 200 cylinder and 150 crank/rod. Requires some extensive work to get the port timing right but makes a reportedly awesome motor. To bad it is a damn near $2K upgrade.
I see your point, however, Im curious to see what happens; where this will all be in a year or so.
I bought and Oset 20" this past winter. The thing is awesome! My kids are out riding it before school in the mornings without pissing off the neighbors because it is silent. You can lay it down in the back a car with the seats folded down because here is no fuel to leak. I am 6'2" and around 175lbs and can have a blast on this little bike. we have just about 1 acre in a subdivision and created our own mini-trials/extreme enduro circuit. It has good torque even with me on it, although the response of the electric motor takes time to adjust to and the lack of a clutch or gears. Because it only weights around 65lbs, it is easy to lift when the kids tip it. No need to drive anywhere to ride and so you can work on your skills everyday if you wish. The only real maintenance is putting aijr in the tires and oiling the chain.
You and a 4st? That math doesn't add up
