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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Local NW dude does well again...

American Rally Ace Jonah Street dominated eight days and 3,700 kilometers of Rally Mongolia navigation racing, taking four-out-of-seven individual stage victories and maintaining more than a three-hour advantage over the nearest bike competitor at the finish.
Jonah raced a borrowed Yamaha WR450.

Met him a few times, very down to earth and looks like a normal human, rides like something else. Amazing dude.

good stuff!! one of my associates just returned from Mongolia, he was with the sports federation (gov folks) as an FIM licensed MX instructor working with a plan for their Nat MX team and schooling riders. They are super interested in motos and motorsports. Historically speaking they were/are the master horsemen of the east and they may surprise everyone with their innate ability to Moto!! Happy to see them getting themselves on the mx/offroad stage!! Hope this aint a hijack. Go Jonah!!

he won on a borrowed WR450 Yami.
 
Yep and that wr has a orange machine parked right beside it ...

A borrowed bike? Ain't that cool! ... Yo, Bro, I think I can win this race... You got a bike I can ride? ...
Guys that ride on the calibrator can usually just jump on a bike and haul the bacon :)

It's obviously a full on rally bike so I am guessing it was rented from a outfit that does that type of thing. Yes KTMs are everywhere.
 
Great job Jonah! He is the only reason I follow the Dakar race. For basically a privateer he rocks! Now if Husky would just step up and get him a bike.....
