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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

A day at the Races

Husqvarna
AA Class
Just got back from another great weekend of racing the new Husky in the Northwest. We were at a Harescramble event that is called Tough as Nails at Riverdale Raceway Toledo Wa. The event used a combination of two motocross tracks, a pretty tight woods section, some flowing open woods, a small scale Enduro cross rock section, tire section, log section, riding over the hoods of cars section, and a 1/2 mile drag strip. There was a pretty good showing of both old and new Husqvarna's with about 20, this is more than I have every seen at one event. The start was on the drag strip with a dead engine, off the bike, one hand on the top of your helmet; go when you hear the horn. I was in the 3rd starting wave (30a and 40A) after the AA's and open A. When the horn sounded I was swinging my leg over the bike, pushing the E start on twisting the throttle. The bike fired up immediately as it always does and I was leading the 3rd wave down the strip by quite a few lengths and continuing to pull away. One really cool feature that this event had was a radar speed trap. On the start I pulled 83MPH through the trap and my top speed on lap #3 was at 87 MPH. I geared down from the stock 47 to a 50 tooth sacrificing a little top speed for better response in the tight/technical stuff. All in all I think that was a good choice as the drag strip only made up 1/2 mile of the 8 mile ( I believe) course. Both top speed winners for both the short course and long went to TXC 450's with an 87MPH and a 94 MPH.:eek:
I should have some pictures in the next few days.
