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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Check out Malcom's bike....

Here is his son Alexander coming into the end of the first special

Allan, I grew up in Forest Grove and as such Rode the Burn right from my house. How long have you lived out there?

Cool bike. Looks fun.

George helped him get the bike ready. The 511 in the race only made it 200 miles or so.

I am guessing George didn't prep the 511 and probably there are multitudes of unforseen things that can and will go wrong even with the best of em' with any and all preparations. Having George and Malcom together on a project though- what could go wrong and who'd stand in the way of their success- I assume the desert cactus just bowed as The Smiths passed by on that bike.
 
Yah, sweet photos, thanks guys. I had heard that the 511 died fast. I wonder what it died of!!! As far as mistakes from the factory, they are there, I am living one right now on a 2009 TE450 with under 600 miles.
Definitely falls under factory and not prep!!!

George is one shop that has parts around for bikes like that and has the jetting specs handy or in memory. Maybe Ron Bishop too.
 
I'd got the impression that Malcolm waved the flag for other brands a bit more fervently these days, so I'm pleased to see him riding a Husky, even if it is an ancient one.
