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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

What did you learn on?

And it'll age some of us more than others :lol: Ok, I'll start this off. My brother & I had a Rupp Roadster when we were kids, but since Dad had a habit of falling off his street bike ocassionally after a few too many, Mom said no motorcycles til we had jobs & our own Health Plan**************************************** Of course what Mom says goes so after Hi-school my 1st was a Yamaha 250DT-1. Was Ok on the street but sucked in the woods, so found a Hodaka Thunderdog!! Rode that for 1 ECEA Enduro season & then needed something better, duh. Saved up enuff $$$ for my 1st Husky, one of Greg Davis's WR125 ISDT bikes. That's when I really started to learn how to ride. What a great little bike. Actually won the C-125 class at one of the early NJ Nat'l enduros in '78 I think. I run into Greg down here, he rides the FTR series also. He said that was one of his favorite all-time bikes. Now that I thought about how old I am, I'm gonna go take a nap.............. Gotta rest up to go riding tomorrow.....

My good buddy still had this bike until just recently when it was stolen out of his garage in the desert. Most people have seen the old Honda trail 90's but this little jewel predates those, its a Honda 55.
 
Started with a mini-bike / The Rail /:thumbsdown:Dad's choice ……Between my two younger brothers and me, we pretty much trashed the thing in short order.

If I remember right it was near Manahawkin maybe toward Chattsworth. I remember loading that PW up with Griff's cycle shop stickers because every time my dad went there I'd ask for a new sticker for the bike lol. It was a griffin holding motorcycle wheels and they came in the coolest early 90's moto colors lol. We used to ride at Clayton's pit a lot too. Awesome way to grow up, can't wait to pass it on to my kids :)
 
yeah... I remember that shop in Chatsworth! Bought lots of Cam II there on my way to E-Town... 100 ft. was down towards the bottom. You were up there in Central Jersey. Good old days LoM, now it's all McMansion housing! Great starter bike bike btw, sure made my B&S mini bike in the early 70s lame!
