The Rapid Death 400 was awesome! First time I was ever over 100 was on the back of that beast. I always tell people I can't even remember how many bikes cycled through the garage growing up.

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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 regret selling my 98 husqvarna wr250 / 99 husqvarna te610e.
But out of all my bikes the '79 husqvarna 390cr was my weight loss machine. I made three passes or loops as fast as the bike would go losing 60lbs in three months. I rode five times a week and more. After the loops I could just have enough energy to get the bike on the trailer.
I could have a motorcycle museum today if I kept all the bikes we had I'm sorry I didn't do it.

For sentimental reason I rebuilt from one of my motocross bikes (1989 CR250R) that brought me many wins in my class. Completely rebuilt the engine, suspension, all bearings replaced, radiators rebuild, etc, etc.
I too said I wouldn't let it go for what I had into to it. The bike sat in the garage collecting dust and was neglected as it was never ridden.
Then I found out there was a young wife who wanted to get her husband a dirt bike. The family had little money but it was something she had saved for and wanted to do for her husband. I sold her the bike for far less than it was really worth.
However, I was able to see this bike get the attention it deserved by being ridden nearly every other weekend. The joy and happiness this bike brought to someone who wouldn't have had the opportunity was worth more than any of the bikes that are in my garage.
Many of us have more things we don't use that sit neglected.

I am at 4 bikes at the moment (I like choice)
buy and sell just to try out, yet some will probably never leave (WB165)
the supermotar is becoming also that status (SM165)
The Honda CB400 street bike I am not allowed to sell from my wife (she consider that as her bike with me as a the chauffeur)
my 8 year old son is jumping 1.5 meters high and 6 meter far on the table top with a PW 80 (he's currently hurting that little bike badly) and I am looking for an upgrade for him, yet hard to find where I live
my 4 years old son is very eagerly to jump on the PW80 yet he has to wait a little bit for that one, I have a lead of a KTM 50 that would be better for him to start on.
my wife is slowly accepting that the car does not necessarily have to be in a garage and motors do (so that's space for at least another six motors in the future)
Besides that we have multiple 115 cc scooters that are the perfect ride in town if you want to haul something or simply on a night out
In general all bikes are for sale by me yet for some the price is so high that I will always own that bike
(exception is the CB 400 I would really get in trouble to sell that one)
