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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

2015 North West Husky Gathering

That's what makes the NW Husky Gathering fun. Every year something happens that's good for a laugh.
Like the "10 mile loop = 30 miles" and the "Pool Noodle / Pine cone tubeless". It should be fun this year.

My self image was just starting to recover! lol. My memory has gotten a lot worse. This year will be 5 and 40
 
I was going to stay the weekend. That fell through. Now I'm day tripping it tomorrow. See you guys out there.
 
Great event as always! Thanks to Bill and his support staff for putting on one of the funnest ride events of the year. All the demo bikes were great. My two favorites were the FC 450 and the TE 250 next was the FE 450. I also got a chance to ride a dialed in FS 350 with the PC tuner and pro c exhaust. Very nice ride.
 
Was out there yesterday. Did about 90 miles for the day. Saw Coffee, Wallybean, the BMP crew and rode all the bike. Will do a full report on the bikes but the 125 is amazing. WOW. The new motor defies logic. The FE450- was also a fantastic bike.

Bills rules.
 
This bike is amazing. Several of us thought it was faster than the 250. Its a rocket. Fastest 125 I have ever ridden hands down and has power everywhere. Makes good bottom (for a 125), real strong mid and then the afterburners kick in and its gone. Usually a 125 making this kind of power needs to be shifted like crazy to keep it singing. I found I did not need to shift much at all as a flick of the clutch and its in full power mode. Stunning bike. Wicked fun to ride. Bike feels like it weighs 60 pounds. I want one bad.

Dangit.... now you got me thinking about one....
 
I'm hoping everyone will call Bills to get one because of this post and he will give me one after so many sold ha ha ha.
 
Folks,

Paul from BC here. Back home now. I had an awesome time riding and met many good folks at your husky gathering!

Saturday and Sunday was spent ripping around trying to keep up (unsuccessfully) with young Benny from Salem. Sunday after the rain was a particular treat! I didn't get a chance to chat with everyone attending, but all I spoke to were excellent folks.

Fantastic trails, so different from what we have here on the wet coast. Very impressed with the level of organization/marking and maintenance effort put into the trail system at "China Hat". I imagine this prevails at other OHV sites in the USA as well. Far beyond what we have here....mostly DIY efforts by bike clubs.

I'll try and upgrade my camp set up so next time I can hang around for the nighttime festivities.... 1/2 the fun I'm sure.

Thanks to all for making this a very entertaining event!
