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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Grip doughnuts??

Does anyone know what material grip doughnuts are made from? I go through them like crazy and they save me from those nasty thumb blisters.

Maybe you could fashion some with ballistic nylon covers, so they won't wear out so fast.:D
 
Ever tape your thumbs? I use to do that, then went to ProGrip 788 grips and I don't have much problem with blisters on my hands at all.
 
I used to use duct tape on my thumbs and worked great. Now, I've adjusted my grip to be more like how I grip a doorknob and everything is better and I no longer get the blister on my thumb.
 
I use those Kevlar "underware" inserts and throttle thumb blisters are a thing of the past.......even with all the frequent twisting I do on a 125.

I've been wondering if these things actually work. I can't figure out why after riding for so many years I get my first thumb blister the other day on the Husky. We did some pretty knarly single track, but nothing I haven't done before on this bike. I got one on the big knuckle of my clutch hand and it annoyed the heck out of me. I assumed with the callouses and the way I grip it's never been an issue for me, but for some reason that day. :excuseme:

I always wondered why all the pros tape their hands like little sissy's. I figured they must just have sensitive hands. :lol:
