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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Finally went for a short ride.

After going to see Husq.fleet in August to get stuff for my 76 cr250 and coming home with a couple parts bikes and an 84 WR250 I finally got to ride it today. I originally was going to buy his 82 CR250 as that was what he had for sale at the time. The primary purpose in buying one is for a spare that my son and son in law can get experience riding on. So I left the red rocket in his garage and brought home the white ghost. I am calling it the ghost because it is so smooth and easy to ride you forget about the bike and just enjoy the ride. I didn't push it today, just some dusty fire roads but I had a quick hours worth of easy riding. I even rode it up the ramp and into the truck which I haven't done in years. After riding today I'm not going to tune the 390 any more. I am going to buy Scott and his family dinner and get him to work some magic. I want to get down and watch him run his gasser anyway.
 
Thanks for the plug! I have to pass alot of the tuning praise on to my "Mixed gas mentor" Harry Taylor. He doesn't work on bikes anymore but he has spent hours teaching me two stroke tuning. What a priceless resource. Between his mentoring and my crazy "never satisfied with the way anything runs" tinkering I'm glad your happy Geary! Looking forward to tuning on the 390. The new tune on the 39 Chevy worked good, ran its best ever 7.77 @ 89.9mph in the 1/8th mile. 2.5 tenths faster than before.
