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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Awfully good of you to actually tell the owner what happened. It would have been all too easy to just ride on.

I'd have asked him to keep his dogs out of the road in the future and to buy me a replacement brake pedal.
 
I have bumped into a few animals in my travels and came so close to hitting a full dress peacock yesterday after a long DS ride on my 610. I first thought I'd hit it on the road walking, but at the last instant it flared wings for take off and ducked underneath it. There is something about the exhaust note (I guess) that stirs up big birds.
A couple of years ago I was coming home and drove by a group of 6 turkey vultures having dinner on the side of the road. Something about the 610 got them stirred up and decided it was time to skip dinner, but take off space was very limited and the birds are quite large with a 6'+ wingspan. Anyway, they bumped into each other and one veered in front at eye/chest level. It would have hit me in the face, but had time to point the top of my helmet straight forward and there was a direct hit. I couldn't believe it really happened and know if I hit it face first, I wouldn't be sitting here typing. No pictures of the deceased..
 
Um.. tennis shoes and shorts, not a good combo. I think I would be mashing the 911 button on my spot tracker about then.

In the state of Mass you have to inform the owner or the police you hit a cat or dog. Your not responsible, you just have to report it.

A friend of mine got dragged off his sportster by the reverends newfoundland. A brand new bike and the reverends insurance had to replace all the messed up chrome.
We have a leash law in Ma. so you cannot let your dog run loose. That dog was almost 200lb.
