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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Post up pictures of your 4 stroke bikes!

I just sealed the deal on one of these yesterday; 2013 Kawasaki ZX-14R w/ABS.

I'll be going in to the dealer tonight to sign the paperwork. If the storm stays away, I'll ride it home. It's supposed to get nasty and I'll be cutting it close. If it looks too bad, I'll have to get it another day.

Don't worry; the Husky stays with me!
 
Well, I came home from work a day after I got the new bike home, to find a puddle of oil under it. I took it back to the dealer last night and they're fixing it. Hopefully it doesn't sit there very long.
 
Some memory pics....What it would have looked like old graphics, now new ones is installed+some little things. More to come later

Wonder what happened...?
Seemed to be coming from the driveshaft seal, but with all that fancy bodywork in the way, it's hard to tell.

Dealer couldn't deny the leak, it was dripping in their shop floor. :)

The weather is too lousy to ride, anyway.

That bike is awesome. The Cadillac of sportbikes! It has three traction control modes, two power modes, abs, all sorts of stuff on the gauges like battery voltage, current and average MPG, air temperature, etc.

60 MPH on that thing feels like you're barely moving, and it is quite a bit more comfortable than a full-on race bike, like my old ZX-10Rs.

SO the new 14 has a drive shaft, wow. You were on ZX-10R.net? The name sounds familiar. I used to post on there quite a bit, went by 9R to 10R. Picked up my Husky a couple months ago as a play toy .

No, not a drive shaft. I'm talking about the countershaft. When I called it that, the dealer didn't know what I was talking about.

Yeah, that's me from 10R.net. I remember you. :)
 
First post fellas! Here is my 2011 TC449. I have only ridden it twice now and so far I really like it. I gotta get to the track!!!

PS Stay tuned because I intend to put a mountain horse kit on next winter so I can ride year around............just need about $6K :cheers:

uh ur chain not in the guide

Yep, the quick result of putting on a 52 tooth rear sprocket. Chain ate through the stock guide in a very short time. Also note the electrical tape holding on the chain slider near the front of the swingarm. Ahh, the things we do when we want to ride right now instead of waiting a couple of days for parts.
