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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

JS7 When will Bubba Crash? Inspired by Krieg and developed by HuskyT****************************************!!

As for the new YZF450 and how good or bad it is it is getting good reviews and took a close second to the KXF in the latest Cyclenews shootout where everyone seemed to love it...

Has anyone here ridden one?

Does anyone think it is possible that the bike is good for most riders, but cannot be pushed to the level that a top SX rider is capable of riding? Not sure? Maybe it is just more difficult to get setup then some of the other bikes.

I agree that the bike looked much better in the main then it did previously. The starts sure are better. If I remember correctly JS7 still blew through the first corner while everyone else just turned. I still want to see JS7 on a YZ250 for one race.

Who knows. Exciting racing nonetheless.

Buddy Scott has but he does not come here much. he loved it. He is a A level off road racer but not a MXer.

Not me. I think it works fine. If Poto could not catch him and he passed Reed who is rising great, it's on.
 
I just watched the RD 4 race ... RV1 knows now what he is up against in cr and js for sure ... he's faster than cr but js has still got some speed ... I doubt js can win out but he is only 12 points out of the lead so he really does not need to ...

There will be some bar banging before this season is over ...
 
Nobody is going to come close to winning out this year, too much talent.
Since everyone seems to think Dungey is not as quick as the rest I am putting my money on him this week.

RD5 is a contender ... Can't even really tell we got off that RC3 inspired SUZ and on the pumpkin ...
 
Looks like my crystal ball was indeed working, but a week too early! The Bubbinator had a 6 second lead in the first heat race berfore his face met the ground with a mighty thud, requiring medical attention. He won the second chance qualifier, and finished second in the main. Villopoto won.

My guess is that it isn't mental...I think he's not in racing shape. His mind is trying to write checks his body can't cash...for now at least...

You might wanna check his racing history ... he has always crashed .... These sx crashes are baby stuff as compared to when he raced the outdoors earlier in his career ...

Just last yr, he crashed his way out of the sx title ... The yr before, he (and cr) sat out the ~entire sx season due to crashing ...

he crashes ... It's amazing he is not broken in half ... And he gets up each time, and goes again :) ... he crashed last yr at the start of a straight-away, got up, and crashed again before he got to the next turn ... And got up again ...

RV1 has a 13 pt lead on him now ...
 
I used to go to the Quarter Horse races at Los Alamitos, Ca. A famous horse there was Kaweah Bar, a palomino gelding and Champion. I saw him come out of the gate once and go to his knees, get up and STILL win the race.....only 17-22 seconds long. JS might become a gelding if he keeps on crashing but it can get the adrenals going...

RV had a dozen 55 sec laps last night, which might come mostly from being in front, but twice the number of any other rider.

I was sitting about 40 Ft off of the First base Dugout towards the Right Field Foul Pole .... This crash could not have been any more front and center****************************************

Not to take away from Bubba's crash but I was impressed with Seely... he was leading big time and running just as fast of lap times as Tomac..

Some kid on lites heat race ate it short on the triple right after the whoops section....

Loved the Sand section going into the Home Plate corner ...

I'm pulling for Dungey as well... just wish he would get a little more aggressive.... I'm wanting him to Paint a big Red and White Target ON RV's back and then go for it....

I think Dungey is handicapped a little by the KTM even though it is much better than ever. It is a long season and he will have some good days, he doesn't ride over his head like some of the others nor is he going to take anyone out, very smooth and good corner speed.

wha happened no when will Bubba crash this week.................That was a good race, I love Reed. He is old school really pissed about 2nd place (so many of the auto, GP, MXGP, MX etc etc that I am and was a fan of never were happy with 2nd) "2nd place is first loser" as for me just finishing a race is good!!!

Chad Reed... perennially the Brides Maid...

Bubba ate it hard again..... if Bubba would stop crashing RD5 would never be on the podium again......

Nice to see a little payback on Wiemer for Sipes in the LCQ

Anyone else see Weston Pieke go up and over Shorty on the start....? That dude just keeps rolling through the crash scenes unscathed...

Wanna join me at LEMX minyana Rob?

my take is at that level any of those top guys could be the "fastest MX man on the planet" but they too would be so far outside the envelope they would be crashing too. Glad the guy is OK, he sure makes for some wild scenes out there and he never settles for anything but P1......until he crashes or gets P1.
