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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

A Class
First off I am a proud owner of a 2015 FE350. This thread has nothing to do with Husky's but I was looking for some help. Today while working I saw a 1986 YZ250 buried in this guys garage. Hasen't been riden for 18 years hasent been started for 12. Has some rust but dosent look real bad. Any idea what this thing is worth. I offered him 100 and he said no way.
 
I personally would go any higher than 500, but I would still lowball for some back and forth. you will most likely need to redo ALL seals--meaning split the case, do suspension reality is its an 86. Its a brilliant bike once up and restored. The good thing is that everything is easily available to get the thing back to 1986 condition.
 
86 yz 250 was a nice bike in its day. I had a friend that bought one brand new and another that bought his son one in 89. I got to ride both. I would happily ride one today if it ran! 500 would be a deal if it turns over and is serviceable!
