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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

This just in from Hall's:

Sorry to those who don't live here in Illinois but this is very important to all who do live in Illinois. Please read below and lets stop Mary Flowers from taking our rights away. Everyone needs to make their voice heard. Call, email, send letters, whatever it takes but this cannot be allowed to pass.

Subject: Flowers Introduces Prohibition on Youth Riding -- Again!

Don't just sit there. Get involved.

Flowers Introduces Prohibition on Youth Riding -- Again!
Illinois House bill 5029, introduced by Rep. Mary Flowers (D-Chicago), would make it illegal for anyone under the age of 16 to operate an all-terrain vehicle (ATV) or off-highway motorcycle (OHM). The proposed legislation would also make it illegal to transport a passenger on an ATV or OHM regardless of whether the vehicle is configured for a passenger. The bill would also require ATV and OHM riders to have valid driver's licenses and wear helmets.

This legislation is nearly identical to legislation introduced by Rep. Flowers last year that ultimately died in the House Elementary and Secondary Education Committee.

The text of HB 5029 and a prewritten response are available on the "Rights" page of http://www.americanmotorcyclist.com.

This legislation was referred to the rules committee on January 25th. Additional updates will be posted as they become available.
 
This lady, if you can even call her that, is trying to destroy young kids lives by tking their right to ride offroad vehicles. Please take the time, whether you live in Illinois or not, to do what it takes to get this thing thrown out.

Thanks.
