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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

That looks like little grand canyon, out off 64 between Cameron and the lodge... ?
When I lived in Vegas we spent lots of time in the area.
 
Looks bitchin' man...

I've got a all-black Versys, love it.

BTW, invest in a bottle of 303 if you don't have some already. You'll need it with all that matt-black.

Looks pretty mean, RDTCU! :thumbsup:

Not as mean as the dog, though...:p

What's with the in-line four?

Gixxer 600 motor for an old FSAE car, I got Clemson's 2006 rolling chassis when they needed space. I did weld/build most of it after all... ;)
500lb, ~130hp with an unrestricted GSX-R... Fun times...

It's not matte black paint, it's actually a thick rubberized coating. If I want it off in the future, I can split the edge with a razor and peel it off like a wrap. It doesn't hold moisture or oil like flat black paint, it's basically the same composition as their dip, which is used to coat wrench handles and such.

Some people use it on wheels, it holds up well. I've used it on interior trim pieces and such with good results.

Home Depot's site says you have to use primer before spraying this stuff on anything. I take it that's not true. Can you advise?

Not true of the spray. If you use the dip on things like straight plier handles, it can slip off too easily without the primer. For the spray, the primer would make it stick better, but if you spray the whole panel, it's like a wrap and only peels off if you get under an edge or cut it.
BTW, the aerosol variety also includes the UV stabilizer that's only available in some certain sizes of the liquid.

ETA: You can get a smooth matte black finish if you put the last coat on heavy and even, or textured if you lay a light final coat. It's self levelizing and a pretty run resistant compared to paint.

Wow! That looks way more fun than a GSXR 600! Nice looking little rig :thumbsup:
I've got a GSXR 750 I've owned since 1992 and I don't ride it anymore...maybe you should build one of these for me :D

Are you in the team photo?

Haha yeah, in the first team shot (2006) I'm the tall one, second from the left with the Michelin hat.
In the second team shot (2005) I'm the one in the back center-left with the hat and glasses.
I was on the team 04-07, new car every year. I still help them out a bit when they need it...
 
Usually our south facing hills are snow free. I tried to run the packed roads and ultimately wrote the ride off as a chance to test my reflexes. Man it can go bad fast on these type of roads.:thumbsdown:
