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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

AMA National H&H Round 1 Event News

What a great race super tuff 100 mile desert race about 30 persent DNF lots of videos posted over a www.district37ama.org
Anyway it was a 3 loop race with only the pros and younger experts getting to do the last 15 miles or loop 3
I finished 5th over all 2 loopers which was 5th in the combined 0 to open and second in the 250 Mag expert class
Because it was so sandy with lots of tuff hill climbs on loop 2 i rode my WR 250 the stock gearing made every hill first time
As for the Zip Ty Racing team i heard Davis Kamo was running 4th over all with about 15 miles to go when a stick went thru the coolant system
Nic Burson was about 7th over all with like 10 miles to go when something happen that coused a DNF and Jami Lanza hit a rock that broke a oil line just before the finish
The next National will be in about 3 weeks where we will go to Red Mt Calif
 
Not a bad showing for Zip Ty I think. Considering they've had the bike for a week or two tops [while everyone else has had their bikes for 4 or 5 months], I think they are on the way to something good.
 

I hate it when that happens.

SEN A rider (ISDE vet)(Enduro360.com) Chilly said it was the hardest most technical H&H he has ever done in 12 years of H&H competition.
 
Jamie Lanza and Dave Kamo ZipTy Husky Team, both DNF ( teething pains for dez racing IMHO) dont know if the team has ever run the TC250 in a dez race? Note: the Jamie TC250 is running zokes up front. Photos courtesy of Mark Kariya

I talked to Ty at a BITD event last year and he said a properly set up twin chamber zokes
is way better than the KYB forks. I loved my LTR tuned forks on my 09 TXC!
