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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Isde 2009

France just railed! But the Italians were very close and the Fins right there as well

so that said, the usual suspects were up on the podium, all within a few minutes after 6 days of nutty speeds. The young Fin Remes KTM was killer fast and so was Nambotin G-G, and our own Meo was just scary on the WR300 (see vids on ISDETV)

Ben Smith here,
Thanks everybody for your support, I'm doing ok. Still having a few headaches. It’s always a good experience going to the six days. I was still there giving a helping hand to anyone who needed it. Since we had up to 11 riders coming in at the same time at the end of the day, there were a lot of hands needed. I was very happy with the 2010 WR250, the motor was strong, the shock worked well, the KYB forks were a bit soft for the deep sand and high speed conditions. I also was able to get a Pavini power valve cover. All I can say is wow. It really works. You can have the bike work like a stock bike. Or you can make the vavle open slow and the bottom end is unbelievable. It’s all traction too. Unfortunately I had to give it back so Glenn Kearny could use try it. I tried to get it back to bring home, but I couldn't get in touch with them after the event.
Again, thanks a lot for the support, and I'll have better luck in Mexico next year.
