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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

May never ride again

Sometimes doctors aren't always right. My dad fell of a deck at a house and shattered his heel. The first doctor he saw wanted to amputate his foot! The next doctor repaired the heel and he only had a slight limp.
 
w00t!

congrats!
 
Great to see you are getting better, I know the feeling having crushed a couple vertabrae in the past. I just got a Tek Vest from tekrider.com. I got the RallyMax and I have to say it makes me feel a whole lot better protected. I love how low it goes on the back and how the sides are protected too. I am sure it does not make me invinceble but at least I am much better covered.
Welcome back to riding.
 
I haven't posted here in a while but saw this right off the bat-so glad to hear you will ride again!! Congrats!
 
It has been a while, still have not been out to ride.
I need to fix a fork seal and probably refresh all the fluids. I start and ride around the yard every couple weeks. Also I still need some good upper body protection. Is there anything new out there that I have missed as far as protection goes?
I wanna get out sooooo bad and ride.
 
Best of luck, and never say never, even if you can not ride at the same level as before, think positive!! It would take me 10 minutes to describe all of my injuries thanks to dirt bikes! Exploded my shoulder on 04 on my brand new Husky 250 (had done 3 heat cycles, and then went for a putz. Tipped it over in a field going 2 mph while turning around!! Washed up and done for a year and a half! Hec B riders were passing me!! But it healed (90% was ACL) and I got my speed back****************************************! Good luck, think positive, go streetbiking if you have to!
 
Just read through this and glad to see you're getting back on the bike. There are of course the armored jerseys out there, but I think they are only limited impact protection. EVS makes shoulder braces.
