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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Halloween trail ride

Pro Class
Hey all,
Decided to have a nice Halloween trail ride at my place. We had lotso rain here in the north east to include about 4 inches alone on wed night o Thursday. Combined with the leaves, it ensured there would be plenty of “Tricks” and some not so good “Treats.”

Quite a few Huskys, but also in honor of the great pumpkin, I “allowed” some KTM guys to attend. KTM guys had not yet shown

Weight back was a daily requirement as was "steer with the rear"

Was one of those "looking just in front" rather than "way in front" days for me

Fury showed up to possibly buy the 144.....looks like a muddy drive back to Boston either way....He was ripping on it

All kidding aside....everyone went good all day and no injuries

Buddys wife brought her DR200 and the tires had as much traction as a stale glazed donut!.....but she soldiered on

And was recognized for her talent and determination

All in all a good Halloween trail ride

Does the bike run on Jagermeister in a pinch?

You start to see that life wouldn't be much fun without the pumpkins to mess with.

Yeah so worried that you destroyed the rest of the A Senior class and took a 1st with 2nd place 14 minutes behind you! "AA" next year baby.....running the Husky with the big boys.
 
all im saying is that my results were not as good as they are after one season of riding the husky!
I have wrapped up the "A" senior class and will end up 9th O/A!

just need to decide which size husky for "AA" next year.....
 
Joe, That was awesome.:thumbsup:

And I didn't even mind the pictures of all the pumpkins.

See'n it was Halloween and all. :D

:cheers:

How did the Transalp do? :lol:

The ciggys are bad for you man. :professor:

Always love your RR. :thumbsup:

Transalp did not go out.....his tires made Karoos (2010 TE tires) look like hillclimbing paddles with chains!....besides he was in area for his moms B-day bash

First the no goggles now the ciggys.......I knew there was a reason I never went trail riding with my mom:lol:
