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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Link to Chuck Sun's Husky works bike

Chuck and his brother were local racers here in the NW (Oregon) and when i was in high school we used to go out and watch them mop up on the field on Honda's. this was i think right before the big honda contract and national win. He was also the Berg rep for a while not to long ago and used to see him around here quit a bit. One of the Berg ads was shot at a favorite ride spot of mine. Washougal has a "chuck Sun" jump named in his honor.
 
I recently scored a pair of his Sun riding pants, still looking for a jersey. I emailed him asking what the lettering on the side said- assumed it was Chines because of his heritage. Funny thing, he said, that the writing is Japanese and it's a translation of his last name. Now you know!
 
They took the 'Chuck Sun' jump out at Washougal.....:excuseme: Great track, especially on the vintage bikes!:applause: My TT500 loves that track!:cheers:
 
Cool, dual rear shocks....now there's a blast from the past. My
79' YZ80 was mono-shock, Yamaha was definitely setting the trends
back in the day as I can remember my 81' YZ125 was the first motocrosser that was water cooled with the radiator mounted up
in front of the handlebars. Not to mention the whole four-stroke
revolution with the YZ400f in 98. Sorry for straying off the original
topic.
 
Hey! They stole little detail ideas from my old Husky!.. JK :D

I remember tying a knot in the clutch cable to gain adjustment at the perch. And the tie-wrap on the spark plug wire. Thats funny.
