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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!

Did the tib/fib thing 10 years ago. I was back working in 6 weeks, riding and then racing in 3 months. Get better!

Ouch, sorry to hear about the leg. Were you wearing MX boots too? Sounds painful.
Yes I was wearing mx boots, (Gaernes) Doc said it looked like a twisting injury so I don't think any kind of boot would of helped. They did at least hold everything kind of in proper position. Now I'm sporting a titanium connecting rod, just wish it was in my motor instead of my leg

I hope you're right. At 53 everybody is telling me it is going to take a long time to heal. Doc did tell my wife I could take her dancing in three months. I hope he is right, the way she has been taking care of me she deserves it.

I did the same thing and the doc said without the mx boots, it would have been a MUCH worse outcome.

I'm curious, the doc said I have a choice to leave the stuff in or remove it after healing but before a year is up. My thoughts are to remove the screws so there are no holes in the bone, maybe a lil stronger and can't back out or break in the future. What did you guys do?

I still have my stuff in (been about 4 years now). I really don't see a need to take it out personally. The doc said there was the possibility that if I did something and hurt my leg again, the rod could bend and be quite painful. My reply was that if I managed the bang up my leg that bad that I probably have more serious problems.
My buddy had a very similar break but they put a plate on his and he just recently got his taken out. I think the plate was more of a bother than the rod though.
