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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Here is my latest, as always, click up the quality if your connection supports it.

I will post all my ride video's in this thread as to not booger up other threads. Most of my vids will be from the Pacific Northwest. Follow along with me through my riding journeys...
 
I'm a little behind on my vid editing.... Got a few rides I havent even looked at yet... So here is the latest. It's actually kinda fun to go back and watch at a later date, and remember some of the funny parts of that adventure.

 
That was a fun day thrashing your 125. Man that bike took a beating that day. BTW I smacked my arm on the same branch Blake did at the end.

Haha, I have been feeling pretty good lately about how much I've kept it on 2 wheels, but that poor bike did take a punishment beating on the starboard side that day... When I layed it into that log, i orginally thought the radiator guards took the blow, but watching it now, looks like maybe for forks?!?!?!:naughty:
 
Blake you are right it is running fat on the bottom but still pulls ok under a load. I also agree that sometimes it is more fun to just ride until you drop and worry about fixing the little stuff some other time.

For sure... If it was lean, that would be one thing, but a little spooge here and there.... Whateva :cheers:

Even running fat, it will lug for DAYS....
 
Here is day 1, part A... Slickrock... I put the bike down twice on this trip. I went down with it once, and that is in this clip.

 
Let's step back in time roughly 2 years... This is my first go on a track, before I was enlightened to small bore huskys....

Lesson Learned???

Never shut off your helmet cam
 
Nice dirt nap. How did you manage to wad yourself up on a 12 foot table :D And who is the "friend" that thought Mountainview would be a good place to start your moto adventure?
 
Haha.... That 12' table was GNARLY BRO...... This was when I first met the NWDR crew, and I went out there with a few of those guys to get my feet wet... The track was super sweet actually, I just never got comfortable.
 
Cool looking track but way to fast of a pace for me unless I was about the only guy on it so I could speed up and slow down as needed ...Sounded almost like you double bounced on landing ...

That track actually looks like a jumbo sized, outdoor, SX track, with elevation changes ... Some of those jumps looked really good ... ESP the step-ups ... But I'd have a hard time maintaining a race pace for even a single lap ..
