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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Last dance with Mr. Threehoney until Fall. 04/30/13

So it was the last day to ride red sticker bikes for the season until October 1st, and I spent the day riding my WR300 around McCain Valley. It was a peaceful, scenic and sometimes technical day on the trail. Not another soul around. No ticks.

This evening's horny toad has been brought to you by: Kodak and Husqvarna (the Italian one).


Hmmmm....Big Rock looks so teeny from here, but I can fix that.


There....that's somewhat better.


Another big rock, somewhere far from Big Rock. Not quite as large, but still pretty impressive as big rocks go.


Somewhat of an artsy fartsy big rock.

I can use the bike if I want to drive far enough north. 260 miles will put me into some really nice Red Sticker riding for the summer on the Kern Plateau. I'm hoping to make it there this year for a riding vacation.

I would have my 300 plated in a flash if I could. There ARE ways of doing it, but it is so complicated, time consuming and expensive that most people, myself included, don't bother. In the good old days in California (before EPA and CARB) it was not such a big problem to get a two stroke dirt bike plated for the street, and that's why I have hung onto this little bike for all these years.

Idaho is sounding better all the time :) ... If you let all of us ride our dirt bikes on the streets\hiways in some manner, ESP out west in the badlands, many of us would just ride them to the ~first trail and get off the hardtop as soon as possible to save our knobbies and start the real riding .... No harm at all to anyone ...

Yeah, but the Kalifornia enviro koo koos don't want anybody on the dirt. That's what this is REALLY all about.
