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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Ben Townley announces retirement.

Smart move. BT101 has had some injuries in the past few years, he has all he needs- if you've ever seen his home and family. No need to risk your neck, for what?? He made it to the top tier of MX won championships and made bank while doing it. Good on ya Ben, now relax and get on with your life. One of the good gentleman racers of MX.
 
Darn glass-jaw Townley. I really liked the guy and his bulldog style was awesome to watch. He's making the right choice, there are several other racers I think should make this tough decision....

Career highlights IMO were epic battles with Villo in 2007, his "punting" of Andrew Short and moto win at the MXDN (09?) and leading Redbud till the last lap, 2010.
