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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Antilock brakes on all motorcycles in the future?

You know, thinking about it I'm sure that I would object to anti-lock on a dirt bike, assuming that they could keep the wieght down and the price reasonable but for me I don't want it on the front. I never have a prob modulateing the front but often tiems I find that I'm unknowingly dragging the rear (well unknowing until I get the side slip).
 
pretty sure (from what i read and understand of the legislation) this is what is exempt:

Enduro motorcycles
(a) seat height ≥ 900 mm and
(b) ground clearance ≥ 310 mm and
(c) overall gear ratio in highest gear (primary gear ratio x secondary gear ratio in the highest speed x final drive ratio) ≥ 6,0 and
(d) mass in running order plus the mass of the propulsion battery in case of electric or hybrid electric propulsion ≤ 140 kg and
(e) no seating position for a passenger.

Trial motorcycles
(a) seat height ≤ 700 mm and
(b) ground clearance ≥ 280 mm and
(c) fuel tank capacity ≤4 liters and
(d) overall gear ratio in highest gear (primary gear ratio x secondary gear ratio in the highest speed x final drive ratio) ≥ 7,5 and
(e) mass in running order ≤ 100 kg and
(f) no seating position for a passenger.
 
This is just your normal euro B/S that comes out from some idiot in brussels with nothing else better to do. If there is enough of you guys that lobby against it im sure we can make this not happen.
