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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Bad to the bone

OK OK, we were on our way to the Blue Oyster and got lost. Somebody gave us bad intel and told us it was up Hwy 2. Rode until the road was closed and they stopped plowing. Which was a good thing because my ass-less chaps were just keeping me above freezing.
 
No snow or ice on the road? No ice screws in the tires? No plow trucks to dodge? Ain't no fun........
 
There was a couple of icy spots. 2 wheel drift on a half ton of American iron is pretty exciting.
 
I had a husqvarna '77 250wr with ice screws that was my street legal winter snow storm and ice storm ride. The guys with there 4x4 trucks with there Harley stickers in there back Windows would see me riding and shake there heads in disbelief. They never seen the ice screws. Nothing will get your heart pumping like riding on the street in the snow and ice. The bike is more stable and planted solid with the ice screws you can't fall. I put four screws in each knobby. More if the knobs are larger.
