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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

I bought a pair of the Alipnestars Tech 2 boots and they are just great. The boot is a short (just above the ankle) design. It's like a hiking boot with ski-boot latch/straps. I've ridden on and off road now and these things are great.

They are marketed as "minibike" boots....I'm picturing a big hot-dog bun seat, no suspension and a Brigs & Stratton engine, but it must be something else these days. I just can't believe that there's a market for minibike specific boots.

IMO, full MX boots are over-kill for road/trail riding. These boots provide the foot protection if you have to put your foot down, but they're still are flexible enough to make shifting a tactile experience. After a few hours of break-in they are super comfortable. Highly recommended.
 
ATV boots are usually shorter too, I us them for adventure rides cross country. I strongly suggest ATGATT, helmet, goggles, full boots, leatt and gloves at a min. I have known a few who took the short cut and live in wheel chairs now.
