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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

My search for some Husky fork guard decals has not been very successful. So, I decided to try out the can of red plasti-dip that's been sitting on the shelf for awhile. This is just a rough draft to see if the color matches and see if I would even like it. I put several coats of the red followed up by several coats of the clear. The color match is almost dead on! I'll wait and see how well it holds up and then take off the guards and paint the entire thing.

The color of your front socks really match with the red of the tank, my complements for that. Color is a matter of taste, I personally like the Strada black with white, but who am I to say what you like.
I however ask myself this question, it looks that you do not ride on your red Husky, there is absolutely not any dirt or sand to see. Are you waiting to put yours in the museum ?
It is a little far but I would like to hire you to clean mine ;).

Regards, John
 
Haha. I've only had the bike a couple weeks so I haven't had much time to get her dirty yet.

I agree with the color comment. I'd like to incorporate red and white. That will be version two. :)
 
Red seems to be a color of choice for you. See the red car in the background with red calipers. The plasti dip looks good. Plus when you scratch it just peel it off.
