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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!

Bike dependent I guess. Some 2ts sound more like stifled chainsaws.

I always have trouble hearing it over my laughter so you might be right. My new to me CR250 I ride at like 6 rpm and it just growels.

Evan Kelly loves his FE501 as I do ours. The Husky 500 has always had a level of respect on the trail, a truly bad ass machine. I remember as kids, when one came up the trail, we just got out of the way. Something that the stock Bmw's clearly lacked. It's a torque monster, completely stable like it had a damper on it, but didn't. Feels different than any other Ktm I have ridden. I like it.

Looks like he is just tapping to control his wheelie. Kelly is a great rider. I watched him destroy Nick Burson at our Prospectors M/C Big 6 race last October, blew him right off the track.
I like this model, it's very easy to ride. It lacks the quick snap of my 511, but it has XR650 low end grunt that my 511 only dreams about.

This is the sort of thing that separates riders .... I've always had a hard time getting the correct amount of pressure on that rear brake unless just steering with the rear tire... I even like air in my rear brake lines to soften the braking action ...

I've never wanted all the low end stuff most of your guys are looking for ... Just makes a bike too hard to control for me at such a low speed ... Maybe I should try to learn this also, but there is only so much I can accomplish on a bike ...
