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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Kudos to my riding gear when Husky met tree

It seems pretty good now, I've been on a couple of easy rides with no issues and have been working cutting wood. In another week or two I will be the time I'd be getting a cast off if it was broken so I'll just take it easy until then. If I had not been wearing the gear I had on it would not have been pretty.

I wear all the pads also ... It's a pain putting on but I'm tired of time off the bike due to broken stuff and pain when hitting the ground... Those 'I don't know what happened crashes' are to be avoided .... Maybe just take the top edge off the speed to preserve your health ... Or at least pick and choose wisely the times you go to the edge .., RV2 put on a clinic about riding on and over the edge this year ..

When I look at my helmet or body armor after any crash and imagine what could have been it reinforces the desire to take the time to gear up before every ride. The crash I had was not a case of riding too fast but likely a laps in concentration. (maybe you could consider it too fast for my state/level of concentration) I was cruising at 3/4 speed looking for new and different lines and possible places for new trails. The lesson learned is stop to look around or ride but never both look around and ride at the same time.

My shin guard looks like someone took an axe to it as well. Since I had recently moved I did not have a family doc to go to so finally after 3 weeks I got an appointment with a doc, he messed around with my foot a while and then said "I'm pretty sure your foot is broken we need to x-ray it. I asked what are you going to tell me to do if it is broken, after all I've been working and walking around on it for 3 weeks. He said he would tell me to take it easy. I replied, "then there is no reason to x-ray it. He agreed lol. Funny thing is my shin hurt so bad for 2 weeks I really didn't pay much mind to my foot, I did notice that if I worked cutting wood and kept it moving all day it wasn't so bad but it was at night when I was sleeping that it would wake me up hurting so bad I would feel nausious.

Wow! one tough hombre! Sounds like you have a high pain threshold & a real love/need to ride. I remember breaking a few things in the past but kept riding for the day. Once I cut a notch in my wrist/hand cast at the thumb so I could use the clutch! Don't think I'd do it anymore though. Older/wiser or just plain don't want to anymore. Who knows.
