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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

You mean to say that if a person adds anything aftermarket, like a different exhaust component or an air box modification, there are places that people take notice of such things? That seems pretty hard to believe. Is the government leaning on them to do this? I can't see business owners stopping customers good money from going into their pockets.

The rangers in our public riding areas are only looking for two things; a spark arrestor and the proper registration. I wish that they were looking at decibels as well. Hate to bash 'em (okay, that's a lie, I love to bash 'em:busted:), but the quad crowd down here really seems to like loud pipes.

I've heard of CA rangers checking the emissions parts that come stock on the Honda 450X, they carry pictures to compare to bikes. Of course 450X out number us 5000:1, one time the odds are with us. :)

I just read Coffee's post, he said the same thing.
