• 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 do you wear in the hot summer?

I used to take the heat well, but now that I am older than the dirt on which I often ride, I don't tolerate the warm weather like we are having right now. 98 degrees yesterday, 92 today. Rode last weekend, but it was about 80/85 up in the mountains. Didn't even need vented gear and one guy in our group had a not so great way to cool off.:lol:

:doh: Been there, done that :lol:

Did he have any issues getting it running again? Maybe he will ride better if he gets rid of the pink gear :p

Actually, he's wearing orange and brown gear with a red and white helmet. There's just a teeny bit of pink tape where his camera mount is on top of his helmet. It just looks washed out in the exposure. His bike wasn't going to go another inch under it's own power. We pushed it back up through the boulder field and waited for an unsuspecting 4X4 trucker to come along. My friend got to have a ride in the truck back to his car and then brought the machine to my place on Monday. I poured all the water out of the exhaust, kickety-kicked all the water out of the motor and the carb had been acting up from scum before the dunking, so it was overhauled. No water seemed to get in the fuel tank and I changed the transmission goo out for fresh oil. Then the bike lit up as happy as can be.:D

Hey, man, that wasn't me! It was the Dame! I would have given you a tow, but that's about it :lol: I've drowned my bike out on the trail before. In fact, I did it 3 times during one enduro! I've always just pulled the plug, flipped it over and pumped out the water with the kickstarter. Put it all back together and ride it outta there. Change the oil when you get home and you're good to go :thumbsup:

He actually dropped it twice and it got away from him and bobbed downstream a bit. It was drown at the bottom of a ravine with a steep trail out. I suggested that we could flip it upside down, but he didn't see the logic in that. He is a great guy but like a little kid sometimes with his learning curve at trail riding.:p Being that it was 4:30 in the afternoon and he didn't have a spare plug or a tow rope, not to mention any useful tools, we just decided to make it a quick way out for everybody since we could.:D In fact, I was the only one in the group that had tools, but my tow rope was in another tool bag safe at home.:doh:
