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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Liked that bike so much I bought my first new husky, a 99 WR250 that turned out to be a great bullet proof bike...

Raced the Idaho city ISDE Qualifier on it...

Loved the 99 so much i got an 02 which was also a great bike and one of the best WR250's i have rode to this day...

In 04 they released the new 4 strokes and I jumped on the bandwagon. Got on 04 TE450, had some valve issues but other than that I had many great rides on this bike...

Little later I could not pass up on a deal on a CR125 so i added that. Fun bike but limited in the highly technical steep stuff.

Then came the 06 TC250 with the ported head and 300cc kit...

Got into DSing a little and aquired a TE570 with a plate (cool bike)

Upgraded the 300 to the mighty TXC450...

Well I also have a ATK and a Honda :D (and a KX500, and a YZ250 and a XS650 and...) so I'm not completely brand loyal. As you can see motorcycles are worse than crack for me.

Nice pics - trying out the new feature of having pics show up as links if they are quoted.

Hey Michael - can I come to the BBQ?

I, uh...ahem...was wondering the same thing, Michael:D

Mid-September, you say? Hmm...:mad:

I guess I'll have to go get myself some Fracture-B-Gone if I want to
embarrass myself on those telephone poles...

Dang, and I thought my garage was excessive:eek:
This was before the SM610 and the LC4 640e came home. Can you count all the motorcycles in there?

Ok..here's the deal.
All of you...you KNOW who you... are are invited...yes all those I've ridden with and some of those yet to ride with will be invited. Those of you who offered help on the trail an in life will get double portions!:rolleyes:

PM's or post will go up when a a date is dialed in..right now everything is about Bonnneville for the next 5 weeks or so. More on that later.

Stay tuned..

Oh and Woodschick..I embarrass myself on those telephone poles enough for all of us. When I cackle while placing them with the backhoe you know it's gonna be fun. Oh..there's also a SM flat dirt track set up to slide around on round. Lately the SMR is getting more backyard saddle time than anything.:D

The addition of a Motosportz damper made a great bike fell even better

Whoa! Tell me more about your auxiliary lighting, please!

It has a 65w halogen main light (I made an adapter to fit a 9007 automotive bulb) and two 55w Hella driving lights. You're bike ( 610) has plenty of alternator output to support the extra lighting. If this is something that you are looking to do with you're bike I can help you get there. The whole set-up is not very expensive. I can help you fab. brackets or if you have those kind of resources available I can walk you through the whole thing and supply pics. ect.
 
my 08 te/sm 610. yep, i did quite a few years as a cop and traffic homicide. im scared of getting hit at night, hence the stickers, and fog lights ($9)
