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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

701 track bike ?

There's a few guys rockin the 701's on tracks here, with their versatility, you can ride them on any track. That said they're more suited to shorter, twistier road courses than higher speed tracks, and IMO are a bit to big for go karts compared to their MX based brethren. Maintenance side of things, way less than an MX based motard, little bit more than a sports bike.
 
Saw two the day I was on track but didn't get to talk to the riders on them, one was a instructor. The Duke has a speck class so I may race it but we were on a good sized road course and the big bike's could get 140mph down the straight. Little Duke was done at 97 but really got them in the twisty sections. Don't want a MX 450 as they are rather short lived so the 701 looks like the next best choice, but I am still shopping.
 
Ya imo mx 450 would be a stretch at 140 mph. But the twisties you'd kill em. Guys around here are putting over 200 hours on the mx 450's before worrying about a rebuild. With the right gearing you should be able to hit 100 mph on a 450 wheeling the whole time!
