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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

GAS -GAS 2018

from MXA: DESCRIPTION: It may seem strange, but the king of fork shootouts is the oldest. Introduced for the 2006 models, Kayaba’s SSS forks have owned the racetracks of America for the last eight years. The last Yamaha forks before SSS were the 2005 Showaba AOSS forks, and those forks are ancient history, but SSS forks are still with us. Yes, the SSS forks have been updated over the years, but not enough to make anyone consider them to be cutting edge. SSS stands for “Speed Sensitive Damping,” which Yamaha defines as a fork that is “90 percent reliant on the speed of the fork’s movement” and only 10 percent metered by the position of the fork piston during its stroke. To tell the truth, the SSS hyperbole doesn’t mean much, because these are basically old-school forks that get their greatness from solid fluid dynamics and superb testing.
 
David Knight is now (back) on a Gas-Gas 300. I know he's "retired" but Big Dave is another top tier guy on Gas-Gas. He says he will do select 2018 events for fun. Maybe with Taddy making a strong comeback........Knighter may get fired up.
Steve Hatch is now on Gas-Gas trials and Moto.
Gio Sala Gas-Gas enduro team manager ( I'm a fan boy of Gio)
Johnny Aubert team rider vet ( I'm sure R&D to) R&D in this case--Race and Devel (me fan)
Danny McCanney team rider - the kid of the team
Christophe Nambotin team rider vet (I'm sure R&D too) (me fan)

Happy that GG is still kicking and moving forward, hope that this go around sticks without drama.

Sadly the GG rep is going to come pry it out of my hands here in about 30 minutes!!! I'm seriously considering buying one even though I don't need a bike (have a fleet of bikes to choose from). I love this machine and REALLY going to miss it.
