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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Noticed my bike has some white gunk [emulsified oil] inside the oil filler cap/dipstick hole... Has anyone noticed the same? Hope my head gasket hasn't gone –] It’s cold here in the UK but the bike gets good and warm each time [50 mile rides and has only doe 250 miles total.
 
Have you just been doing short trips? It's pretty common in bikes, caused by condensation in the crank case in cold weather. Run it for 30+ minutes on the road, not just standing still and check again. My guess is that the white gunk will be gone.
 
your engine is a giant condensor. dont worry about it. stuff in the oil 'll cook off once it gets hot, some of it dont in the weird areas that get fogged and not drenched. if the radiator coolant disapears all together and your engine is over-full with a "milk-shake" then sweat. otherwise...ride it!
