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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

I'm definitely in for this event! My son Thomas will not be able to come because of his Boy Scouts summer camp expedition, but I may be able to bring the the rest of the family along.
 
Are you aware that ACR has a weekend event @ Southwick that weekend? I'd love to go to the Husky event, it's a bunch closer, but that track, serious competition...

Funny, but we kind of envy the informality of the Western Gathering..... We have no public riding, so have to have it on private land. With the numbers of riders we get, the landowners want insurance, so that means AMA Charters, Sanctions and post event reports... file waivers and referee's report. We're responsible now, so we have to lay out a well marked trail loop, so no one gets lost or hurt riding the wrong way. Then of course, we have to lay out Joe's ISDE Grass Track too! It's so renowned... A picture of it was used in Spectro Oil's National ad campaign, featuring Fred Hoess racing Wally Palmer! This is just for an AMA Sanctioned trail ride, not a race. It gets complicated, but everybody who comes loves it and so does everyone who helps put it on!

Co-sanctioning with the enduro, will actually make it easier for us!

Yeah, thats sounds like a lot more work than "hey lets meet at Bend" :D

Yes, but there is an event or two every weekend, all season competing for rider's interest... tough choices. I hope you can make it to the Gathering, when the stars align!

Walt
Fly out.
We will have a bike for you as long as you DO NOT kill anyone! :naughty:

About the only way is if you can get some guy in an F-15 to come get me at 9:00 AM and have me back by 8:00PM on the Saturday.....If that happened you wouldn't need to have a bike, I will just sit and drink with a smile on my face. I wouldn't think of killing anything more than a nasty weed like leafy spurge or such.
 
Looks like this is the same date as the two day J-Day event in Minot Maine, Sounded like fun.
 
J Day.....Dual Sport...Southwick....like Norm says...there is always a competing event....try to pick the least "wrong" answer is tough and always somehow wrong. Now If I can wrangle an F 15 for Walt....mach 2 plus him here....inverted eject him at 300 feet and right onto a running and warmed up WB 165.....everyone would come to see that! Walt...you in?

Joe, I would do that in a heart beat. If I didn't survive the jump, I would have passed on in the best possible way. I'd have one of those smiles on my face that the best mortician couldn't remove. I don't get airsick from acrobatic air rides but if that F-15 could get me to fill a bag that would be wonderful. I think I must be warped. If I do survive, the drinks are on me.
 
That weekend happens to be our big tournament of the year. Not that that matters as weekends in the summer are just another day of work.
 
Walter ,my brother in law is in the Air Force in Utah,maybe he can do something for you.I just looked at the calender and I,m on vacation Aug. 4th week,hope I can make it,a couple of my near by Husky buds go each year.
 
If you guys need any help I may be able to bring a few guys up prior to the event to assist with whatever.
