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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

There were a lot of classes mixed together, so there are a lot of vintage bikes mixed into the shots. Those old guys on those old bikes still know how to move fast!
 
Awesome!
Nice job on the win :thumbsup:


Off topic, but seeing those pics reminded me that I want to go vintage racing BAD.
 
There were three different #55s in my moto. The other two were 55A and 55D. This caused some temporary confusion with the overall scoring.:doh:

I rode my 2011 WR300. I wanted to have my 1974 Hodaka Super Rat ready to ride a vintage class, but sadly it wasn't finished in time.

I never had an 07 2 stroke model. My 07 is a TE450. I also had an 06 KX250, but the bike never seemed to fit me very well. I sold it immediately when I bought the WR300.

My riding buddies had some KX250s... they were good bikes but not a Husky and not quite as durable ... The seat was better on the KX but that was about it .. Everything else had a tendency to bend or brake in a crash and I think they went through a piston or 2 more than my 02 CR250 I was riding then..
 
Ah Dirtdame thats where you have been, on the vintage race circuit. We have missed youaround here of late. Well done getting out there and honing those competative racs skills. Bet you had a blast.

It was a blast, but the only time I have spent on the vintage circuit up until last Saturday has been on foot and behind a camera. I have spent a lot of my time this summer riding my street legal KDX200 up in the San Bernardino mountains.
