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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

DAKAR Rally

Sounds like fun. The number of times I'd fall over, a lighter bike may enable me to get more than 160 kms (100 miles) befor I'd pull out...:cheers:
 
Love it good on em. Was jus thinkin today wonder if any 2ts entered let alone a 125. At least with Dakar you can swap whole motors if required every day or 2. No reason a 125 couldn't finish. Probably need a light rider n keep the weight of gear down as much as possible but fueled/jetted right why not?! I reckon my 165 would do it! Mighten be too quick in the sand dunes though!
 
During the intro of the last day's coverage on TV there was a 2 or 3 second clip of entry 111 with the rider standing off to the left side of the bike clutching. pushing and screaming the beejesus out of that little 125 trying to get up a soft hill. Obviously he made it because he was one of the 83 motorcycle finishers.

How many people can say they finished the Dakar rally :. Much less on a 125!
 
Meo did the final sections with a broken left scafoid and a dislocated carpus in the right. I did my left scafoid into 3 pieces and rode a couple of miles...but the crackling, grinding and pain made me fully understand that something was seriously broken........he rode many miles with the same injury....nuts. He will have surgery on both hands.

Very cool for the TE125 Frenchman!! a finish is great for a "privateer effort"
