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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Not sure what this is, but its gotta be software driven ... Let's hope the coding is better than what what's been released for the last ~20 yrs for PCs... Myself, I will not be testing this system for anyone unless the pay is very acceptable..

So far Ducati has good reviews on their bikes with anti-lock and traction control, you can switch it off if you want to slide around and do wheelies. Electronic suspension control where an ECM controls valving is the next logical step. They have already tied engine control in with traction control so the computer can retard timing to mellow out the power in harmony with the traction controlled brakes.
 
I had a split second to save my quad accident at 35mph on the ice. I yanked the handlebars as I hit a hole in the ice and lost control.

I'm on my 1200 bandit when we haven't had rain in six weeks. The pouring rain turned to white because of the oil on the asphalt. I lost control about to dump it. I did the same yank on the bars and stood the bike back up. I drove another 45 minutes home. I should of parked under a over pass till the storm passed.

Go figure.
 
As long as they don't try and ride themselves I won't worry. When the Google bike comes out then I'll pitch a bitch.
 
Just ask Huskynoobee how it looks to see a brand new TR650 to go into ABS from his point of view...
I may have puckered but didn't fall.
I've also tested all the go safe goodies on a 556 HP Cadillac CTS-V... they work!!
