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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Stewart Joins Yoshimura Suzuki

Some good racing at Freestone this weekend. Stewart looks great on the Suzuki. Odd that his gear was the same colors as Dungey's, but reversed...

Stewart was about as fast on his PC KX125 as on anything. Lap times at Washougal was right on the fastest 450's. It's the rider.

But he never raced on the PC Kawasaki team... His dad thought he was too good for that so he raced for factory Kawi...

:D

Later,
 
I thought the two motos were weird. Why didn't RD pass JS or why didn't JS pull away from RD? Could they both really be that close in speed? JS did not have any problems passing RD in the first lap. It was like sync'd riding especially with the same outfits.

Also, I cannot seem to find the answer to my question. How much HP do the factory 250s and 450s put out? My guess is 250=43-45 and 450=58-63.

Dungey rode well. But he made more mistakes. Nothing major, but every couple of laps, he'd make a mistake and have to work to regain a second or two. Stewart made like... two mistakes the whole race. When you're riding that well, you're hard to beat. And I think Stewart had more in reserve. The balls to the wall speed we know he can do. He has dialed that back a little and that's keeping him consistent. Dungey was close for a long time (like all of Moto 2), but he never passed him. So he didn't really have to step it up beyond that and was able to stay consistent and smooth. A mature Stewart... whodathunkit?
 
What an awesome race...both motos were very close. I was standing at the first turn after the start...both riders gave it there all...absolutley. That is the best racing Iv'e seen in a long time...awesome to be there ...congrats to JS...but really...congrats to both riders...the fans loved it!
 
Did you see the post interview with JS? Seemed real happy and comfortable and maybe even slightly humble!!! He might be back. Consistency will be his friend from now on. Also he spoke about how good his mechanic was and who quick they made the bike perfect for him. No complaints. Interesting.
 
DF,
add on a few more HP for the factory/pro team bikes. I know guys (privateer pros) that have lined up with top tier guys and they always say those team/factory guys just walk away from them in HP gabbing points on the track like long loamy uphills, full traction straight aways etc.
But they all say they can deal with a little less HP, what they can never deal with is how good the factory/pro team bikes suspension works. $$$=performance. the usual motor racing mantra.
back to the JS thing, I am happy see to him using better racecraft (maturing), Ive always been afraid of him being a candidate for permanent injury or worse.R

lol ... That is RV2 style ... RD is fast but he ain't no RV2 ...I'm sure js7 knows this ...

Stew can crash this title away for sure but even after laying off 3 yrs, he can handle this crowd .... With the exception of RD5 ....

Today, it's appearing like the former is true ... Latter appears to be true also .... Superseded by the former though ... It'll be interesting to see all this play out into the sx season ...I'm riding with RV1 again next year ...
