• 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 don't get touring bikes like these.
Why not have a ute (pickup truck) with all your gear AND a dirtbike?
You have a roof when it's raining, somewhere secure to store your belongings and you can ride MORE places with a proper dirtbike....
Just me???

Not bike related, but two stroke. Love a good Jimmy :)

If only KTMs 300EXC sounded this good, it might make all the vibrating worth it! :D

That brought back some memories.
Sounded like a 53 series and looked to be a 4 and 3. Funny how the Jake just had a toggle control.
I drove a 5 and 4 for a couple of years way back when moving equipment and never really mastered the two stick downshift. I usually just dropped the main a gear, but then I never knew anyone that could do a 2 stick down shift either.:)
Cool to see.
Oh and BTW, the first truck I bought for myself had a 2 stroke Gimmy but it was a V8 71 series and had enough power so a 13 speed roadranger would work.

:thumbsup:

I've never driven a two stroke Detroit myself, but have always loved the sound! :)
We used to have a big hardware store next door to where I did my apprenticeship, the delivery truck had a V8 Detroit in it & sounded glorious up & down the hill on the highway outside!
Also I've only ever driven the newer single stick with switches 'ranger boxes, so I can see this guy knows a thing or two. Ha ha.
We have used the newer 60 series Detroits in under-ground mining where they perform well.

"Drive em like you are mad at them" were the words of the day. For sure a neat sound.
I miss those motors.
 
Haha Tinken... Those legs do look good, but the man face, and toes squished over the front of her shoes kinda ruin it for me....
