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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

I actually throphied on a Husky.

It's been over a year that I've haven't even finished a race with the 510 and I pulled off a third in my first race on the 250. :thumbsup:

I started dead last because it took me five kicks to get it started, but I was up to second after the first lap.

Got hung up at a bottle neck and dropped back to fourth for two laps, then finally made it back into third on the last lap.

After DNF'ing every race for the past year on the 510, I'll take the third. :thumbsup:

Did learn that I'm still geared a little short, and for some reason the clutch cable popped out of the little holder on the clutch arm. I figured that little tab would have kept that from happening. :excuseme: But, that made it a little harder to control, but with the Rekluse I was able to finish the race. :D
 
Congrats and good job! It's always fun and satisfying to finish well. I assume from your description it was a Hare Scramble...?
 
I love my 510 but it's a lot of bike at the best of times.:D

Congrats on placing with your 250.:thumbsup:

Were there any other Huskys there?
 
Thanks everybody. I'm tickled with the 3rd. I wasn't sure I could still do it. The 510 is fun, but obviously I'm better with the 250.

Yes, it was a Harescramble. A rather tight, technical Harescramble. I rode the same course a few months ago on the 510 and it was just too tight for it. It made waste of some of the gnarly hills, but it was just to much everywhere else.

There was only one other Husky there that I know of, another WR250. I'm not sure, but I think I might have been the only non-KTM on the Senior class row. I stood out like a tomato in a basket of oranges.
 
Congrats on the third****************************************!! Way to stick with it until you got the podium****************************************

Where did you go? Colona was the only race in IL, and that is a million miles away, so I take it it was a IN race?

You should come to LTM in 2 weeks.

Nice job. I am on a 3 race DNF streak myself after winning several in the spring before breaking my wrist. LTM is almost always good to me. :cheers:
 
Yeah, it was a Dist. 15 race at Mitchell. I'm looking at the OMA in Bedford on Sunday.
I might try to hit Casey on the 6th.
