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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Testing for King of the Moto

Yep, last time I was here years ago it was still a "trail". They put all lower half in for the rock crawler guys with those "jersey blocks". You really have to pick and commit to a line.



if you don't get your butt up here this summer I'm going to be pissed and not speak to you any more :mad:

Maybe Tami and Eric will come up with the Jeep and bikes! I thought you "West Coast" guys, called them "K" barriers? Oh, maybe that's just Tom Webb and Ron Lawson....
 
I had no idea what they were called til yesterday where I heard "jersey blocks" twice. :cheers: Whatever they are fun to run over. :)
 
2008 Walt Smith Built Husky 165 The bike that the new Husky needs to build. This will be my 3rd year at KOM on the same bike I so need a new Husky bike that poor bike has seen a lot of racing since 2008 From KOM 2 times and 3 time LDS along with a lot of years of National H&H and a # 1 plate in 2008 5 times at the 2 stroke Nationals. 2 times dist 37 Night race winner My sons have also raced it poor thing needs a rest
 
And naturally, race organizer Jimmy Lewis was pleased to hear comments that this year’s King of the Motos was the toughest yet. That’s the goal, to make it the toughest off-road race in the world.
“I guessed that it would take the riders 50 minutes to an hour and 10 per lap on the second loop, and that’s what they were doing, so I think that I’ve finally learned what their level is,” Lewis said. “That level requires me to use a trials bike when I set up some parts of the course. Some of the stuff was sadistic, but that is the level at which these guys want to be pushed. When people ask me, ‘Is King of the Motos tougher than a Hare and Hound or tougher than the Baja 500?’ I tell them that the King of the Motos start is tougher than those entire races put together. And then it gets worse!” Based on this Ajax, I'd say you've got as screw loose :eek:. Bravo for tackling this thing :cheers:

I finished the morning loop it was even harder then last year. But I took to long to finish it, so I was told not to go out on the afternoon loop. As it was even harder and it would be dark before I could even think of a finish. Now I have to work harder getting ready for next year.
I have lots of pictures and video to post

One more This is my 3rd year on a old 2008 Husky Walt Smith 165 The bike is crazy good 3 years and still have not broke anything
 
Good job on the effort! From what you posted on your practice loop and what Jimmy says, you certainly should feel good about it.
