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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Dual sport crash, perfectly filmed

I heard that same noise behind me at a light once, a long time ago. Turned around & there was a fullsize van sideways behind me with maybe an inch to spare. Not something I ever want to come close to happening again.
Hope this rider wasn't seriously hurt.
I'm always watching my six at stops.
 
I almost got rear-ended at a highway stoplight. In the evening, came to a normal stop beside another car at a red light on a two lane, and suddenly thru my helmet I heard what sounded like a missile heading toward me, I looked in my rearview and saw a car with smoke pouring out of all 4 wheel wells from full lockup. With no other traffic in the intersection I slammed it into gear and blasted thru the red light and that car goes skidding thru my hold position, ending up sideways in the middle of the intersection. I did a u-turn in disbelief and was absolutely stunned, then I said the hell with it and continued on, shaking it loose. I had just bought my 2005 Triumph Tiger, had only 100 miles on it and quickly learned to stay in gear at stoplights. I wish I could see this private video....

If any tree cops or State Rangers or whatever they wanna be called give me $#!^ for riding in the woods, I'm gonna argue that they just don't do enough to prosecute bad drivers on the public roads....damn! And those stupid aggresive car commercials these days, enticing consumers to drive like maniacs!
Then I'm gonna wheelie out of there!
 
VID is showing again ... I'm not gonna going into details here, and I certainly hope the rider is OK, and he did not break any laws it appeared, but that is not how you ride a motorcycle defensively on the street. At least that is not how I ride a motorcycle on the street to avoid accidents with other drivers.
