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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

braaaaap! World Finals / Husky 1-2-5 Challenge.....

pvduke

Husqvarna
Pro Class
W/o a doubt the coolest MX race in history. if you've never been to Glenn Hellen? Go.

The 1-2-5 Challenge was insane. KTM lead it all the way, Husky was 3 seconds back just pacing him. 2-3 laps to go he hammered by...won the race, and, a new CR125!! Hell yeh!

It was nuts. So many old school pro names and faces, brother, leme tell ya they still have fine form and SPEED. Chuck Sun was killing it on a Husky CR125. He aint lost a bit, still pins it back and keeps it there 100% around every lap. Last lap he overshot the front stretch second double and took the fluffy line and the gloppy cushion way outside the groove scattering us like bowling pins sendin' mud, roost, people and stuff everywhere- and, never lifted, just pinned it WFO and braaaap! Next time by high-5'ved me on the off hootin'. Classic! Ty Davis got a "W" too and looked really smooth, put my buddy Pete on the trailer pretty quick. And, I found out the skinny on Tinken. :eek:

Got to hang out with Ajax too, prep his gate, no one had more bikes there than him! Hahaha, he brought the whole quiver just in case he needed a bigger hammer!

It was hard-core hall of famers, local racers, lots of start line smack talk and catching up too. And, lots and lots of braaaaap!

It was nuts. Wow. WOW. What a day.

Didn't go? You missed it. Big time. A who's-who of who's REALLY fast.

I almost died from over-stoke. :doh:

(My camera died. So I resorted to using my cell phone and it's a flip-phone so...aming was tough, seeing what i was shooting tougher. Sorry for the crappy quality gang.)

Win this bike****************************************

Think yer fast? Race this guy...This guy? He's my friend, my mortage broker, and pro-mx DIRT BIKE test rider for eons, Peter Murray. No one's faster on a vintage bike either. This dood FLY'S.

Best day ever and I didn't even scratch the surface of all that went on....

They had a 4-T race too...well, PM me for comments on how that sounded. :lol:

Miss the days of race gas and bean oils? When bikes sounded and smelled nice and were actually fun to ride? (winner of the open pro even said it was the most fun he'd had in forever)....well then.....


Bring back the Braaaaaap!

:cheers:
 
I have both of my motos on video What the heck was I thinking signing up expert.There were 4 national champs on the expert line At least I had fun and the view was better then the one from the stands

i also went around the track with my go pro during the pro race I will edit and post asap
 
ooops...take it back...just checked the results, error on my part. in +40 Exp: Ty went 2-3...there was a gent on a YZ250, so it dont count. that YZ wasn't a 125! so Mr. Davis still gets the "W" in my book for first moto, him and Mr. Murray were going at it...braaap!

in +50 Exp: Mr. Peter Murray smoked 'em all (maybe i'll get a good rate on my refi tomorrow?). Mr. Sun got 4th overall and our very own smiling race-a-holic never-say-die Mr. Ajax got 11th overall. aint an esay crouse. you go up (and down) Mt. St. Hellens thrice a lap. and it gets hammered!

i somehow got my camera to cough up a couple pics....

Mt. St Hellens...it's so not small. rider coming down looks like a spec!
