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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

AA Class
took thursday off in hopes of servicing the WR and going to a mountain bike ride.

then i washed the bike and found both front mototr mounts broken. yippy! pull the motor and take the bike to the weld shop. friday put bike together and service make a couple other small repairs.

ride saturday went good. other then my jetting is a mile off (suprise). when loading up i did notice my seat was a bit off but didnt think much of it.

sunday deside to go for a short ride. pull seat off to put it back in place and found the tank hold down bolt broken off in the frame. no worries. go ride for about 3/4 mile and rip off my brake pedal. road the rest of the day with the front brake. hoping i can get a new pedal for this weekends race.
 
Hey they say bad things happen in 3's so your bike will never ever have a problem again ;)..... jk Sounds like my luck sometimes; hope you get it all fixed up.
 
i had a beer last night while drilling the bolt out. dropped the brake pedal off at the weld shop today, im hoping i dont need to use it and i can pick a new one up on my way down to a race this weekend.

anyone from southern MO have a spare that i could buy? im going to the ozark 100 miler near elkhead.
 
I googled it, but didn't come up with that flyer. It also comes up with an actual RUN, which I definitely don't want to do.

lankydoug, thanks for the link. Interesting, love to go try it, unsure whether I could get to do the second lap in time. I think I was looking for anyone that had prior experience running it and their take on it. Are you going?
 
wellllllllllllllllllll..................


ordered a new lever/pedal from halls. of course ups had a bunch of fog to deal with. blablabla i still dont have a new brake pedal and last i checked they stopped in louisville KY on their way from springfield to des moines.

good news is i got the broken pedal welded back into 1 peice. now im just hoping it lasts a hundered+ mile weekend for me.


sounds like lankydougs got a nice weekend planned out as well, if you have anymore room for house guests let me know! :D
 
well made the 7 hour drive down. rode chadwich friday for about 50 miles. brake lever held up fine!

got signed up for the race that night and went to the hotel room & crashed.

woke up and went to the track, fire the bike up and do a practice run on the start and the bike dies. push the heavy turd back to the trailer and begin ripping things off of the bike to find whats going on. turns out no spark. traced it down to either the stator or the coil.

i will say the wayne down at LBC was very helpful and was able to give me some numbers to check for so i can diagnose between the two.

so the saga continues. wish this bike was reliable but its not proving to be at all.
