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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

The Hurricane!

Funny that you posted that you were always imagining things like that. Because growing up, Kenny Roberts was my absolute hero and I always wanted to just like him.


And to add to the video, I can't post this enough times to say that these guys were nothing short of amazing on these bikes.

I remember Kenny Roberts too! He was a stud! There were some real rock stars out there.
You could ground me from the TV but don't ground me from the bike. That, would kill me plus take me out of contention for the Carlsbad GP going on in my head!!!

My mom and dad could kick my ass for all I'd care, but the worst punishment was losing my bike. Just seeing it parked and not being able to ride it was a fate worse then an ass kicking. :cry:

Was actually grounded for a month back in the 5th grade - grades (what a shocker). Both parents worked in the city so my plan was to, when I got home form school, take the bike out and blow through a couple of laps around the property.

If not for the irregular wear/tear on the lawn nobody would've caught on.

Back in 1973 I was in the 7th grade and I lost mine for grades too. And it was murder watching my brother and dad ride but not me. The warden gave me two parole days around the Thanksgiving holidays. I made the most of it by riding every bit of time I could squeeze in. The next marking period I made honor roll. I never made it again but I never had piss poor grades again either. Ohhhhhh the desire of riding is a powerful thing I tell yaaaaaaa. :cheers:

In deed, Sir....in deed.

I'm working out of the "Home office" today, and with Cahuilla Raceway a mere 24.5 minutes away???? It's been tough.
 
I remember watching MX back in the day & thought Roger DeCoster was magic on wheels. The rear end of the bike bouncing all over the place left & right & him keeping perfect control. Soon after, flying on the whooped out trail on my brand new 81 IT250, my bike was doing the same, for quite a while I dreamt I can ride like Roger & give the Hurricane a run for his money. :lol:

The good old days of being young, dumb, & bullet proof.
 
A few years ago at seattle supercross I got Bob Hannah's autograph on a black and white vintage poster of him..in all his glory mid air winning...he signed it with a grin..he was down to earth and so cool. I framed it ..it hangs in my office and nobody notices....except our tribe...the riders... They gawk and say "holy s***" is that "hurricane Hannah?"....suddenly all their riding stories come out and the awesomeness of youth is rekindled, friends are made,new riding buddies sound off what they got and where they ride...it has even given some old tribe members the inspiration to ride again....so the tribe meets on Thursdays nights to summit the local mountains,act like kids again,ride the super secret trails and have a beer.
Thanks Hurricane
