• 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 dont know what goon riding is.
I dont like choppers, one cuz theyre played out, and two cuz theyre uncomfortable and handle like shopping carts. I had my run with sportbikes and supermotos. I wana go back to something simple but fun and I like the brat style. Some examples...

Yeah looks simple and fun. I wasn't familiar with what a brat bike is. Might be a regional difference. There are scramblers, bobbers, rat bikes and now brats and the definitions seem to overlap a bit.
Goon riding is maybe a West coast term that generally refers to goofing off. Wheelies, roosting your buddy etc etc.
I have an old Triumph and a XS650 Yamaha and want to make one of them into a street tracker.
An example or two:

I like the street tracker look as well. I originally was looking for a Yamaha XS650 in order to build something like that. I worked at a Honda dealer while in college and always liked the old CB twins and fours so a CB350 fit the bill nicely.
I was not aware that there was a title (brat) for the style I like. Stumbled upon it while researching CB350 builds. It is apparently a big thing in Japan.
