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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Still rippin the 449

So whilst out clipping ribbon to creosote bushes today, I managed to break the rear brake mounting tab off the frame on my WR. Rear brakes are key on the National Hare n Hound course, so had to break off and blast back to camp.

No worries because the 449 was waiting to shine. It was great to have her back in action. She must've thought I didn't love her anymore since I've been getting used to my new ride.

As always it fired right up and took me out to the course at maximum velocity. Nasty rocky loose single track, deep sand, and slow going were no match for the Husqagivabeemer. Sure glad I brought it along today.
 
They are great bikes. Just wish I could get fmf performance without the fmf noise. That and a trials bike clutch pull would be nice.

Try a Midwest mountain engineering clutch lever. Way less effort to modulate clutch.

I had one. Hated it. It was way too finicky and kept slipping once the bike got really warmed up. Plus I could never get the throw right. If I adjusted it to where I could reach it with my finger, then it was still dragging when I pulled it. And that made it hard to put it in gear and hard to start in gear.
 
Best I could make one work was to chop it to a one finger trigger lever. It was pretty good like that, but I went back to a regular lever eventually.
