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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Isle of Man TT

BMW and Joey Dunlaps son are just amazing, lots of history there. The Irish sidecar teams need serious mental help or all of them really it's is just insane. The riders are just so casual and ho hum staring at certain death at 190 MPH. This my friends is real racing at it's best.:)Damn they are good.
 
This is one of only a few things on my bucket list. I want to go spend the entire week there. Maybe even buy a used bike to have for the week then sell it or give it away. Would probably bring my son and get two bikes. Hmm.. this is getting expensive. Better start playing the lotto.

If you want to attend this event start planning the trip ASAP. I looked into going over there to the race back in the 1990's,(back when Joey Dunlop, RIP. was the king of that race) and you needed to book your ferry passage to the island close to a year in advance. Accomodations were non existent to be had so the only way to have shelter for the night was to bring a camping trailer or pitch a tent. The race is such a hairball, adrenalin charged specticile that I figured the inconveinence would be well worth the effort.

Go and see the manx in september the ferry fairs are normal price £244 per car and around £40-70 foot passenger.
Its a bit longer than a week due to practice week and race week. Still worth a visit and you will get accommodation during manx good luck finding even a camp site space during TT.
 
Racing in the rain no less,check that out. Wind bad ; rain it's like oh well . They interviewed Hutch and it was like he reminds you of the paper boy with huge balls and skill. I looked up the fees and lodging for next yr. 2016 for certain. Respect for the sidecar riders as well:)
