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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Kind of a wild looking place to ride!

On that crash, that rut (ditch?) must have been very deep you hit with the front wheel...
 
Yes, it was a deep rain trench. Much bigger than it looked on vid. Luckily I landed in soft grass and, with the exception of two bruised and very sore thighs, I
came out unscaved. Same thing happened a few years ago there on my 610 where I hit a ditch, flew over the bars and landed on hard dirt and separated my shoulder.
I got lucky this time. Bike's ok too.

Its hard to see what is going on most of the times on any video I watch. Seems like they all just turn out flat or 1 dimensional, no matter how clear the video. That grass looked as good a place as any crash. I always, always consider the land zone around when riding. Usually best to hit and roll to absorb the impact.
