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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!
Dave is awesome, I wanted to put his speedway 1934 Harley on ebay for $125K he said someone might have that much I said i'll put a $500k reserve just for fun and see how high it gets "I wonder if someone has that much" was his answer and we better not put it on ebay because I want to give it to my son "the saint". His wife did raise her eyebrows when I told them one sold at auction for $165K. But, Dave bike is not for sale and its now sitting in his sons living room in California. Hes had the 1934 since 1956 the last time it was ridden,16:1 compression no tranny runs on alcohol."My son (Paul) gave me a Husquvarna 250 with a pushbutton starter on my 80th birthday," said Scott, a father of four and grandfather of four. "I'd elect him for sainthood, but I don't have much pull with the Pope."
The current bike is yellow, like most of his motorcycles over the decades.
"I always thought I was chicken," he said. "Mostly had yellow motorcycles to match the streak up my back. You get lucky and you persevere and you win some."

He's 88 -- Thats ~3 decades more wisdom than I have now and may never obtain. Probably a funny guy to listen to.
