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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Had an odd mishap in the race. Somehow during a simple slide out the lower radiator hose removed itself from the right radiator (fell on the left side, so even more odd). Lost about 25 minutes because of that, most of which was trying to figure out how to get water back in the bike. Fortunately some spectators happened to walk through and had a bottle of water, which I pretty much took from them :D
 
We ran our annual 1hr motocross over the weekend. Made it back to 4th in super vet, after a second lap crash left me in last place :(

This guy put in a fast and consistent hour to finish 5th in vet c - on a CRF230.

He's 83 years old :oldman::notworthy:

Whole new reason to respect your elders! :cheers:
 
Fund raising practice day at Cairns Club to raise funds for Mitch Evens #43 to get to the junior world titles in Belgium next month.
My daughters on the husky 85 and son on the 65 and myself on the 450.
Great day

I raced my WR for the first time since I bought it late last season.
We had our TT scramble (short course hare scramble) over the weekend. It was a total mudfest, with lot's of rain over the two previous days, but the bike was great, and the Motoz tires worked flawlessly. I battled a full hour with another vet rider on a husky for third and got it. After a couple of real strong years, this has been a lousy season, but Sunday's event was perfect :thumbsup:

The last time I raced against this guy was 1976. I quit shortly after, but he stayed at it and turned pro. We've both had a long break from riding, but it's good to be back on a bike.
 
Well then, you must be headed out on the 27th? Maybe???

I gotta tell ya, is was really cool to see my CH Peeps runnin' w/my hometown classmates at the last CVMX.
I'll be there, whether I get out on the track or not. I will either ride or take pictures. Got a couple of pistons to deliver to somebody up there.
