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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

2014 motorcycles and scooters with ABS

The rate of fatal crashes is 31 percent lower in a motorcycle with antilock brakes than in the same models without ABS, according to research by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. Riders stop more quickly and stopping distances improve on wet and dry surfaces.

With ABS, riders can stop without the fear of the wheels locking up, which might result in a skid. To help riders find models equipped with this potentially lifesaving feature, we present the 2014 motorcycles and scooters with ABS.

Back when I did do some street riding and would talk occasionally with pure street riders, many many had stories of crashes and many again pointed at the front brake causing the crash ...

So that 31% number sounds like it could be ~accurate ...If you ride any bike and are afraid of the front brake, seek some help ... The front brake is about the most important safety device on your bike and it alone can save you in an emergency situation ...

Here's the list of bikes that have ABS ...

(All motorcycles in Europe will be required to have ABS by 2016, and we expect that will make ABS much more common in the United States.)
