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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!
View attachment 36976View attachment 36976 Here's my project, 1987 430XC. Bought the bike in summer '13 for $950, and have put approx. $1750 in it. New tires, tubes, brakes, rebuilt carb, top end job, hoses, rebuilt front and back shocks, new decal graphics. Compression went from 100 psi to 155 psi. Probably not worth what I put in it, but it was so much fun working on it! Too cold to ride in Missouri right now, looking forward to spring. Oh yeah, it had the original piston in it; never been bored before, and obviously not ridden much. View attachment 36976View attachment 36976
