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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

You gotta realize how little compression damping I am using. I need the extra oil to prevent bottoming.

A little bottoming happens from time to time- did not someone much faster than all of us put together say that the forks[set up proper]should bottom once a lap?- roll your bars back a little more and lean back some...: esp; in the cold weather it's easy to have too much oil

My forks bottom lightly several times a race.

Cool- I'm on the same page as you!
Was watching some of the racing and those supercross bikes look so STIFF- like hey are set up for a riding error and may just save the rider's bacon. That's good but it looks like that setup hands out a beating.
 
So I'm a young buck at 34 but also fall under the category of ex-parapalegic (long story). To keep this thread on-topic, most all of my riding partners are by a large margin, my senior. I usually lead our trail rides, but only because I'm the most impatient to get going. I tell you, every one of the old guys I ride with can ride their heavy old trailbikes so far up the crack of my arse that it's unbelieveable... They are on DRZ400's, street legal 300lb WR450's, TTR250's and I'm on a brand new WR150. They would all kill me in a race. All I can say is that I hope to God that I will be riding at their age, and that I can be lucky enough for some of their superior skills to rub off on me. Old guys rock!
