• 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 wife watches the TV show "Arrow", usually I do my own thing on the tablet while she watches it but sometimes they have nice bikes in it so I look up....

Anyway, they just had a kid on a supermoto (not sure if a Husky, it was dark) with a nice black with red end cup Barret pipe...the old Motosportz edition :busted:

Your angular "M" label was the clearest thing on that bike :thumbsup:

I don't see any hand controls. How do you drive that thing?

All done with your feet. It's got a "suicide" hand shifter on your left hand side too. So you have to clutch with your left foot, and shift with your left hand while giving it gas with your right foot. Imagine taking off on an uphill. Most of the modern peeps shave the controls with linkages in the grips, so all the cables and such can be routed through the handlebars for the shaved look. So you would just twist your left grip for the clutch kinda like your throttle. No front brake, so you "shave" the levers and cables alltogether.

I'm pretty sure that is the trick that lead to his demise. It's a shame he wasn't wearing a helmet. He made some neat bikes.

Something about Indian/HD riders in the old days. My dad used to talk about riding his Indian 80 standing on the seat. He raved about the balance and tracking of the bikes.
I don't think he ever owned a helmet.

Yes he did die doing that stunt. I really liked the style and colors he used on the bikes he built,too bad he's gone. R.I.P. Larry:(
