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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Bad ass new Wrecking Crew: Mees, Smith and Baker. If you watched Santa Rosa's finals yesterday... The Indian in the dash for cash won with Joe Kopp who also took 7th in the final.


Kaw to Indian...

Hiring the top 3 flat track riders in the world is a good start.

Did I mention that I would really like to own one of those bikes, I'll even settle for a street version. Tomorrow I will list a kidney for sale in craigslist

A street version would be great. Always thought about an XR for the street.

I've been really close to pulling the trigger on an xr Harley but I've been able to resist the street after watching people who text and drive wander around like drunks.
 
Isn't this swell... The #1 Plate now resides on an Indian :thumbsup:

At Willow Springs right now... Have to say seeing the cockpit and size of the bike, it would suit me just fine as an Adventure Bike. Indian and Polaris need to do as quick an engine dev. program for a smaller engine as they did with this 750 and market an American made Enduro.

I went to the Sacramento mile last night. Indian sweep the top 3. Huge gap to 4th! HD no where to be seen.

Wasn't 4th a Yamaha? Harley has to step it up, it seems they can't keep their new water cooled 750 together.
 
I drove to OKC to watch that race and saying that Indian dominated the race is an understatement. There were 3 Indians in front and 4th place Sammy Halbert on a Yamaha was 3/4 of a lap behind. Also I think that no factory Harley riders made the main. I think a few privateers on Harleys made the main but I'm betting that the bosses at Harley are not too happy today.
 
After dumping Buell, it seems Harley has all but walked away from its race program. They were selling 10,000 V Rods a year, but shut down production last year.

I guess they would rather have a high performance bagger with the new Milwaukee 8 motor and don't really care about much else.
 
They are going to have to decide what they are going to do with the new water cooled 750 they just came out with. They can't seem to keep them together and the old air cooled xr750 is finally being out performed by the Indians. Usually this kind of turnover is good for a sport because it makes the competition step it up. The OKC mile was a sell out and flat track seems to be gaining popularity so I would hope Harley doesn't just walk away.
