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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Cracked oil filter cover-

Well while racing the Ruff-e-Nuff Enduro I ran into a problem- after the b/c cut off (my race was done) I continued to ride the A loop for fun. I got about 2/3 through that and my rear brake faded. I didn't know it till I needed it- of-course... I was going over a jagged rock pile with a tree just to the left- I didn't get to pick a good line and lost my momentum- as I hit a bar on the tree- Doun I went. I got up - bike still running- and I saw oil spraying from the oil filter cover... For some reason I thougth I might make it back- I stopped afew hundred yards later and checked to see my oil level becoming concerning- I shut her down. Obviously exhausted and feeling the full 90 degrees (first time it hit that temp this year too). I pushed it, took a break and pushed again- soon enough I was tethered back to my trailer....
I was suprised the oil filter cover was damaged under my Uptite Skid Plate - but I guess it was one of those 1/1000000000 hits and I think the whole cover and more would have been torn off without the Uptite Protection.
So here's the damage-

I called 7602 racing and ordered one of their Billet Oil Filter Covers on Monday- I received it on Wednesday-What a nice quality Piece!
So Here's the Solution

Must have been one helluva hit. The upside is you can bling the bike with some classy after market bits. What you going to break next?
