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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

There is a lot more to it than the $12k mould cost. Where did that number come from anyway?
It is hard to know exactly how the manufacturer is recovering his R&D and tooling costs and what the real costs are, but it could be as many as 200 tanks before he sees a real return and no real guarantee that many will be sold.

Well, I have had tanks made for vintage mx bikes, and the tooling was actually less than that.

Nice, I suppose I should wait until I have the tank before I have my suspension lowered/revalved. That pic is on Safaritanksusa (dot) com.
