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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Ken Roczen words on recent events

Full quote.....

I chose Suzuki because I like the RCH image, and I think together me and RCH we can do something big. I have 100 percent faith in the bike because you take them out of the box already and they’re just so good. I have a lot of good memories on Suzuki. My decision when I went with RCH, people were like, “It’s not factory.” Yes, we are factory. It doesn’t even matter; I have so much faith in the bike I’m like whatever. Just give me the bike and I’ll make it work.

He clearly is behind Suzuki's "Turning above ALL else" philosophy. Who's worthy of criticizing him? Anyone? Mcfly? Mcfly?...
 
More.

But I think in my eyes you can buy a Suzuki, I don’t even know if you need engine work really...more is not always good. It’s about putting it on the ground. I think if you have the right suspension guy, the guy you can trust, and I even have one in Germany. A guy that I’ve been with him since I was little, and he’s absolutely amazing. If I would have to I would buy a bike, get my suspension done with him, and I will be good to race.

Don't forget about Barcia, I think with him being on the JGR team that they will be closer to a championship than they were with bubba. The amount of technology on that team has to be amazing. I would dare say more so than some factory teams.

When he started along these lines and added in some words about a bike chassis, I about fell over in my chair ... He was describing the last 250\310 Husqvarna bikes that came out of Italy... He wants a bike that handles and turns and does not beat him up ... Every magazine out there wrote the Husky was well beyond the other bikes when it came to the handling ... All mentioned down on power down slightly ... Mags do stock bikes pretty much so keep it in mind it is not a PRO bike they are testing.

Ever watched any PRO ama MX\SX racing? Very few times do you ever see any bike out power another brand ... The engine HP has got to be there in the ballpark of course, but corner speed \ traction is the ticket ... Ever try to figure out why RV2 runs off and hides? Speed in the corners for openers ..

Yep ... These 2 guys are like mirrors as 250cc riders sometimes... KR94 has the experience at least in MXdN racing ... I'm thinking that gave him an edge in the last couple yrs racing ... ~Never watched ET3 much as a 250 guy but he looked unbeatable at times this yr on that 450, ESP in the outdoors... He got a pass or 2 on KR94 this yr also :) ... And he has won a championship over KR on the 250s ... Eli can win one or both 450 ama championship in 2015 as easy(?) as anyone else ...
