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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

125-200cc Who's the Oldest?

I'm 50 and as long as I don't have to read small print while I am riding I am as good as I ever was! Seems like it is the younger guys that head back to the truck first.

A friend of mine, Helmet "Speedy" Clasen from Canada by way of Germany is at least 77 or 78 years old now and just starting to slow down racing.
I'm 57 and just moved from the A50+ class in Enduro to the A200 class. Have been in process last 6 months getting my shoulders rebuilt and replaced. I'm not ready to quit.

I raced with Helmut this year in vintage MX, and a 6 hr hare scramble. He's 77 and did the 6 hr solo :eek:

There's another guy in our club who runs only the natural terrain MX tracks, and I believe he's 80 now.

I'm 51 and race at least 2, and sometimes 3 classes.

Pull a little bit more oil out of the forks-much easier on the hands and shoulders.
 
54 and beat to bits !!! shoulder seems to get worse every ride and my knees creak and groan something awfull first thing in the morning while trying to get to the bathroom for yet another pee as old age seems to have removed all blader control lol
Had the worst race year ever and ended up 19th but did skip two events and the weather was my worst enemy as every ride was knee deep mud and clag and I spent more time pulling the 144 out of holes and deep ruts than riding it :(
Did better when riding quad events and actually managed a 2nd place and I was well chuffed with that, although I did nearly pass out from dehydration at the finish :lol:

Wow looks like I'm the baby here. 43 yr old MXer A class try to race at least once a month. Run +30A and +40, leave the kids alone now. No ACL's left, broke both collarbones and scapulas, leg several times, elbow, T4, 5, 6, redid T6. Sure I forgot a few... Hope my big injury ticket never comes up but I know I'm asking for it. Just can't quit and only a gatedrop scratches the itch properly. Good wife will feed me and wheel me around if the big one slaps me down......

Here I come Lorretta Lynn's '13 +40 expert. 12 years 2 kids and a wife since the last time I tried, gonna go for fun on the tiddler!!

May the force be WITH US ALL****************************************!:thumbsup:
 
48, love to ride a lot, not much for racing anymore / not overly aggressive enough to care :>) . Did the 125 dream MX race at Washougal last year (managed to qualify for the main and then sucked he he he) and doing the Idaho City ISDE Qualifier this year. Ride More.
 
57 yrs. old. I haven't raced competitively in many years now. I used to be a D-37 rider, I never much cared for enduro type stuff and still don't much like boulder fields and fallen trees (I'm not very good at that kind of riding:busted:) but I can still cut a pretty fast trail across whooped out open territory.
 
With my new enduro race season approaching fast i've decided to join a running club to improve my fitness and decrease the size of my belly.:D I'm borderline being in weight/over weight:thumbsup: ......So, this evening being my first run i managed to miss the runners start briefing and found the 80 odd runners splitting into groups from 1 to 7. I assumed group 1 was the fastest followed by 2, 3, 4 etc...However, I assumed incorrectly when i went with group 7!:eek: I've never in my life run so far and fast. The distance was 7miles at a 7.0min - 7.30min mile. The funny thing was there was only four of us in the group (i should have guessed why so few runners chose this group) and one guy John, he was encouraging me to keep going, i was hanging on for grim death trying to keep up and John was saying i was doing well and asked how many times have i been running with the club? 0!. You will be pleased to know John is 57 and super fit compared to me. So i know what i can acheive but for those of you in your 50's if your fitness was as good as John's you'll be paid for riding.:banana: i'm feeling a little happier at being 44 and i'm enjoying your replies so keep them coming. I'm going to have a lay down now i maybe some time before i return and i dont think i'll be in work tomorrow:D

I new WR 300, I don't think that my 610 would be very competitive in most areas.:cheers:
Actually John, D-37 has changed a lot since I was involved. It used to be mostly high speed X country but has got increaseingly more technical over the years and I doubt that I would make a very good show of myself anymore, not because of my age but I was never very good at the technical stuff to start with and I probably haven't improved over the years.
