• 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 non husky did you cherish at one time?

My 81 had the hi/low tranny. 1980 was the year they went from the Trail 90 to the 110, but they left out the 8 speed. :thumbsdown: The 81 had points and condenser, no electronic ignition. :thumbsdown: It still was a hoot to ride. I traded it off for an 84 KLR 600. :thumbsup: I would like to own another Trail 110, with electronic ignition.

My mom had one of those, we bought it new for her. It made a strange honking noise when it was jumped and bottomed out. :D I have fond memories of going big on the wood ramp we made in the back yard. I'm guessing the rake was more than Honda specified when we sold it.

Yes but did you know that when you depressed the shifter it over road the centrifical clutch. That way you could hold the shifter down in first gear, rev it to the moon then side step the shifter and do some pretty impresive wheelies.:D
 
:lol: oh did you just bring back some old memories.
Back in high school we were doing just that on a Trail 90 w/oversized rear rack. I dumped the shifter, the front end flew up, I slid back off the seat, feet came off the pegs and the big rack caught me right behind the knees holding me on the bike........somehow kept the throttle steady and ended up having probably my best wheelie ever....and saved it at the end.
