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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!
Hi folks, my name is Richard, from Nofolk(England), I'll admit I've been lurking around the cafe....nothing too sinister, just the tail end of spending months and months of research on what bike to get. At a local meeting I was almost painted orange when fellow bikers discovered I was on the hunt for a bike, then told by others, nothing other than japanese would do,several manufacturers later and more ridicule of each others bikes, I realised, I would have to find the answer myself. I was amazed at the debate It sparked off. I should know better, sitting in a room with 25 or so seasoned riders. So, here I am, non - orange and not eating sushi or paella.... 2011 te310 is being picked up in exactly one week, can't wait, I'm like a kid at Christmas! Thanks to all people that post on this great site which has ultimately brought me to my sence in buying the right bike
. Have probably had 40 bikes, several in the last couple months, vintage Japanese, a trials bike, but nothing is more fun than a flickable dirt machine, plus it is street legal
Per chance are you the owner of a forum yourself? Your posting style looks quite familiar...Hello all, I'm Shaun.
I've recently purchased, what i'm led to believe is a 1997 TE 410. Supermoto setup, so does that mean it's a TE 410 E? It needs some TLC and the engine needs a good rebuild. Any help would be appriciated.
Speak to you all soon.
Shaun
