• 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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's missing from this picture?

At any rate, I always feel a little better when traveling/camping with a member of the legendary/infamous E Clampus Vitus (Squibob Chapter).
Rolling with Pops out in the desert is always a good thing. That's where he's in his element. He knows EVERYTHING about the Ocotillo Desert. Loves the place, loves off roading and loves dirt bikes.

Now, back to working on being as cool as Steve McQueen.

I was on a ride with my WR360 that has an auto clutch installed. OBTW, it does vibrate a tad. I happened to look down when we came to stop just as I was going to kill it and noticed I had no Kickstarter. This is 25 miles from anywhere. Kept it running and retraced the ride and found it on the trail edge about 3 miles back. :eek::cheers: Super, duper locktite and knurled the threads slightly so it didn't happen again.
 
Just loctited my kick starter bolt, when I removed the bolt there was only a tiny bit of loctite on the bolt from the factory, now it has heaps!! Thanks for the heads up.
 
to all again this another lesson to not just focus on one thing check all your fasteners and check those spokes too, been seeing alot of loose spokes lately all over the crew. gotta check check and recheck all fasteners. I even zip tie my side panels to the grab handles because I once lost a rear mounting screw and had the side panel flapping around in a race. look inspect and add stuff to bullet proof the machine.

Shy of thorough safety wiring and constant torquing of somewhat fragile bolts I am using some Inspectors Laquer on rear sprocket bolts and others so I can do a visual check on cleaning and pre-rides. Pseudo Husky Red shown.
