• 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 local Husky rider stopped by today to show me some crash damage his TE took last weekend. He waded it up pretty good on the left side and tore apart the rad shrouds. Put some pretty good scratches in the left fork, and a gouge in the ignition cover! You can see the damage it took, even pulling the threaded stud out of the gas tank. :eek:

Left the rads alone and just pushed in the sides of the brace a little.

Even took a little chunk out of our ignition cover!!

You going to start designing the black boxes for the airline industry, out of aluminum? :)
 
+2 On the strength and quality design of 7602 guards. Far FAR superior than OFG, have the crushed radiator to prove it!
 
that would make a good advertisement for those guards, I have force guards on mine. fingers crossed they are as good
 
Good post. Great to see how well everything held up.

Ya, there was another young local guy on a TC 250 who came up short on a big jump in an arena cross down in Texas. The bike cartwheeled and basically destroyed itself, tore off almost every piece of plastic. Had on our braces and front guards. The radiators were untouched. Wish I had gotten a pic of that bike, as it was 10 times more torn up than this one.
