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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 was waiting my turn at the parts counter down at my local shop one day, and I just took a seat on a brand new KX100 that happened to be sitting nearby. I looked down at my feet flat on the floor and my knees bent 45 degrees or better, and I started thinking,..."Why, I could take this thing through anything and never ever have to worry about dropping it and gorking up a radiator!",..."In fact I could almost grab it by the cross bar, sling it over my shoulder, and pack it out of a bad spot on my back!" Then I had a chuckle to myself just imagining the expressions on my riding buddies faces the first time I dropped the ramp door on my trailer and rolled out a KX100 at the trailhead,.......![]()

I remember the Trask Mountain 2 day ISDE when a group of riders called "team slip it" would challenge other riders combined times against their time, and they rode, I believe TM 80's(i was just a kid). It would be a blast to ride a little 80 pinned everywhere in a frame with adult size ergo's.

Nice video! Every time I see one from you, I'm impressed with the video quality and sound and it makes me want to ride with you in that area.
