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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

I've read this
and I don't agree much. I use my SM 610 only on tracks and I don't even have a slippery clutch. Nevertheless, here in Italy the average amateur track motarder has a proper 450 racing bike with at least the slippery clutch and, if he/she races, a mechanical launch control like this:
According to some rumors, in the Supermoto World Championship there have been people who have used TC and I know a chap who races in an amateur championship and has it.
Personally I don't like the idea and I think that it doesn't make sense to allow riders to use such devices in a World Championship. As far as I've understood, in MotoGp they have a GPS system which adjusts the engine brake specifically for every corner! In order to say that a certain rider is the best in the World, they shouldn't allow that, IMHO.
On the other hand, there are people who want to have fun on the road, where, I think, safety comes first, because it's already too dangerous without aids. While using cars in wet conditions, some times I lost the control and the ESP and the ABS prevented accidents. I also think that driving a car with TC is not so bad. So, if someone prefers to use those devices, even on tracks, what's the problem?
Anyway, here is a demonstration of TC on supermoto; at least, it seems to work well, to me:
