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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!

What's The Best Way To Break-In A New Engine ?? The Short Answer:Run it Hard !
I got my bike with 22 miles on it. I considered it was as broke in as it was gonna get, I ran it hard and fast on the street, kept the air flowing, didn't bounce off the redline, shifting gears up and down over varied terrain, after 50 miles of that, I was done with break-in. Oh yeah, when I changed oil at 72 miles, I found a little surprise stuck to the drain plug magnet, I debated what to do, tear the bike down or just ride the beast. I made the right decision....Bike now has 15,500 miles on it.

Never really found out, it LOOKS like the end of the forward oil screen tube (the far end of the screen in the middle of the pic), maybe someone broke the end of the screen tube off in the motor and replaced it with a new one, leaving the broken tip in there to get stuck to the drain magnet. Next time you pull your forward oil screen tube, look at the tip of it, looks alot like that piece of trash above.
Sorry for the hijack....
