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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Christini AWD - Heard of it?

last year at the ama race at millvill nj they had a booth with a few bikes. price point is pretty solid but cant say anything for a test ride, didn't get a chance, since it was sunday afternoon, they were cleaning up and I was about a 6 pack to the good. the drive system to the front was a really cool set up and you could vary the amount of drive to the front wheel and over run clutches so the front can free wheel. the drive cables seemed to be fairly well protected since they ran them down the fork tubes similar to brake lines to their not just hangin out in the breeze. id like to try one out if I got a chance, but for now the husky and honda will do for me
 
We tested one at work. Nice bike! Front tire rotates slower than the rear tire (under power). The front takes over when you spin the rear tire and feels normal when your are not spinning the rear wheel (one way bearings in the front wheel so it rolls at the same speed as the rear when there is no wheel spin). Being based on a 250f Honda motor (knockoff) it never got a real chance with us as we smoked the valves on the early CRF 250f motors and switched to CRF 450x bikes which did much better for us in the valve train department.

Sounds like Border Patrol - a friend of mine in Wilcox tested one. Didn't think it did much for "racing" speeds but did wonders in the really slow hike-a-bike stuff. I think I'd like to have the system on a big ole dual sport - already a little overweight - so 2wd would be a benefit. Kind of like a small buggy vs a big truck - 4wd is a much bigger benefit to the big truck.

I'd a like to try one in some of those nasty root sections down there in Millville..... That would be a great place to test it..:cheers:
 
Friend had one in Moab with 300 GASGAS motor this year and was not impressed compare to normal bike. There is so much traction at Moab that 2 wheel drive is not a big deal and in sand you can feel weight as it plows through does not get on top like a 250 2 stroke in sand. I think the best place would be in slippery conditions like mud in hills.
