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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!

Motosportz with tires and oil we all see things different. What some may like about a tire others may hate so say what you feel about these things.
Trials tire have always been a love hate topic, I happen to love them.
Had an outstanding run on the new Vee rubber VMR300 tires today. I knew by the first turn I made a good choice. Nothing like spooning them on lining up the bikes and lets see how this all works out. I still think I want to run a trials rear depending on the course turns into.

Ride Report : This MT43 is 'magic' with a HD tube and about 8 psi. I rode about 25 miles of single track at the house Friday with a couple of buddy's. My place has a little of everything (snotty hills, log crossings, creek crossings, fast flat sections, off camber stuff and just plain 'technical' trails). We switched bikes a few times and the WR with Trials tire was a huge hit. The guys couldn't belive the traction and the thing was amazing on the rocks and logs. I think they're both sold.
Saturday, I rode at a place called Moto Mountain in North Georgia. This gave me a better feel for the nasty down hill stuff and a little more mud. The Trials tire was great. Down hills feel about the same. You just use 90% front brake. The thing that impressed me the most was loose loamy soil hill climbs. The knobby guys got up them in 2nd gear pinned with the wheel spinning at 80 mph. I just tractored up them with a steady throtle. It was like I was running a studded snow tires.
So last night I washed up my bike and to this point my Trials tire has 3 rides on it for about 80 miles. The leading edge of every knob shows NO sign of ware. It's like I never rode on it. Anyway, just my 2 cents - John

Think your trials tire is worn out...... A tire groover & 15 minutes will do an amazing thing.
