• 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 guess if you're worried about your safety then fair enough with not risking it, made another video of todays ride just to show how useful it can be though, this area gets more and more congested every week I swear, if you skip to near the end you'll see a prob I had with a bus. Mods if you don't want me posting any more videos this way please let me know.

There is nothing wrong with your video .. Looked safe to me and educational .. You are riding a motorcycle, right? Why, why make a motorcycle act like a car or truck on the road? It is not a car or truck and when making it behave like one, well what's the point? You are taking the power way from the bike. Just another example of ignorance. Nothing new there. Keep moving on down the line please.

Not sure if it is even legal here or not but society, society accepts just about any driving here and it works. It works because people here accept it, people are cautious, people are are curtious, and respect each other. We get up here each day looking for a good time and that includes traveling on a bike for most. Bike riders are the majority. Bikes rule the roads here.

Speeds are slow here and drivers try NOT to hit anyone. That includes cars, bikes, trikes, people, cycles, animals, carabo.. everyone is given respect here no matter what they move down the road in. Its like bumper cars but you can't hit anyone. Looks weird and scary but there is a rhythm & reason to the driving here. I don't think this level of chaotic driving would be possible at speeds ~>30MPH ... It would take PRO level skills from every driver to stop a crash from happening every 10 seconds.

I would ~never ~never (well almost never) split lanes in my home country ... Too fast and too too many 100%, pure bred, aholes with a bad attitude, too often ... Wanna hear how many people acted like they were going to open their door and crash me when I rode my Harley back from Washougal, WA after a MX race just because I was on the right side going ~10MPH passing them? There was a ~10 mile or longer traffic jam leaving the race. I thought that door opening trick was a southern thing but it was an education. I'll add you gotta remember also, more than 1 citizen has a big iron on his hip and might be willing to let you know it.

Yes, they were an air cooled 2 stroke. I did get it up and running again though. Wish I still had it. Can't complain, my father gave me his 1973 Kawi H2 a few years ago. One hell of a bike!
