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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

From time to time I find a bike I wanted as a kid or just needs some love and I grab it and fix it up. I used to do a bunch of vintage cars but finding these old bikes fun to work on, inexpensive, bring back memories of my childhood and I get to rescue them and pass them on. I am almost done with this one. Was pretty EZ. Runs perfect and a nice little bike. Remember reading the bike mags back in the day about these and the KDX175 and drooling all over them as I rode a XL175 or something like that. These were based on the KX125 of the time and considered exotic with cromo frame, long travel, lay down shocks. Funny to think about these days. Offers great handling for the day, good suspension but a semi slow motor and was aimed squarely at the XR250. Plastic is impossible to find so upgraded that some. Was fun messing with. These old bike are so EZ to work on and simple.

I love those bikes. There was a guy running one in the vintage series I ran the last few years. It looked like it was new, and he did really well with it. I'd like to have one some day.
