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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

2015 Puerta MX series round 2 XC/GNCC style race

I was on him pushing through a very tight canyon and he ripped off his left handguard on a huge boulder, I thought he destroyed his hand...I grimaced and gasped,,,,,but he kept going and later asked me if I saw his hit , I said hell yes, and i told him I expected hand carnage, he said he just pulled his hand off in time as the bar smashed into the rock.
 
41 total starters. at my first calculation it looks Cyril was 4rd OA and me 5th OA we both beat all but 2 pros* and all but 1 open expert* (there were some DNFs among the faster experts and pros...but its the finish that counts) smooth and steady and on the pipe whenever you can. Im tired and will do a good math check 2 moro

*all local, but most are kids!!
 
almost the entire race we were glued never more than 100 yards once I caught up (as mentioned above). Him, quite a bit faster than me in the open stuff, he's a Sen. 40+ Desert Expert, me faster in the single track. Still so stoked on our race within the race, very clean racing, super intense fun.

Next Frame from above......after catching up to and then passing the French guy (Beta300RR) when he missed a ribboned turn, he caught me back up and passed me in a rock garden bottle neck and still beat me on aggregate time, more great bench racing stories!!! Great photo because Cyril asked me if I knew he was shadowing me for a while and of course I had no idea---here's the Photo evidence of the French Beta Shadow!!

This sounds super corny, noted from latest pictures back to Tecate Enduro, but Im really liking my body language and feel/ergos on the (this bike especially) bike, I guess all these different moto schools paid off, --- Marty Smith MX clinic, RynoPower/Techniques and Ergonomics (Ryan Hughes), Graham Jarvis School as well as all the hours watching the different masters do what they do with smooth and low effort style.
