• 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 pic Fab, it's funny how racing does that to ya. Since I jumped back into racing a few years ago, my street bikes just kinda sit there. Might as well sell 'em & get a few closeout Huskys, hahaha.

Thanks! That is exactly what I am doing now! My Buell is on the market. It is a bad time of year to sell a bike, but I am going to do everything in my power to own a TXC310R.:thumbsup:

The Mrs. Said the reason guys can't have kids is because we'd sell them on the side of the road like puppies lol

Same bike but first build w/Mikuni 29mm smooth bores which were too big, stock front brakes not up to the task. Was testing an 18" wheel up front compared to the 19" stock. Lost the easy stability from stock and just never handled as well. Taught me to early on carefully assess many mods. Increasing engine compression meant more engine braking and more critical braking/accelerating.

You must know my good buddy I taught to ride a bike literally, Jeff Heino. Went to college in Henniker, NH and I took him under my wing as a little kid. He went to the top pretty quick. Still good buddies.

The name doesn't ring a bell.... Then again I am terrible w/names. Bikes though, I remember ;-)
 
For a real treat you need to ask him about the sponsor for the race. Geisha girls ring a bell? I taught him well trust me. He hung with us as a kid at college parties and he always had my girl friends on his lap. Movie star looks and a personality to go with it, he and I, LOL. He made a few mistakes but got his life straightened out and is a good man to this day.

I got passed by a guy in my class and thought Id just chill and hang with him for a lap then Jap him before the finish, I look up and there's the checkered flap. It's a Polish thing I got going.

That's racing and I've had sort of the same thing happen to me in my short racing career ...
