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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Look what I just bought

^^^ What Troy said. Essentially identical powerplants aside from the absence of powervalves in the Banshee unit.
 
The RZ was my dream bike when I was a kid. Back then I was broke and they were cheap and plentiful. Now I'm a little less broke, but they are rare and expensive in non trashed condition.
 
Dauer,

Too funny. I saw that bike listed for sale locally a couple of weeks ago. Brought back memories from long ago.

My brother owned (new) one of these TDR's in same black and yellow colour scheme.

He was a bit of a 2 stroke freak like yourself. Roadraced TZR 250's then on to pure TZ's

My brother had a lot of fun hooning around on that bumblebee back in the day. I hope you can do the same with your new purchase!

All the best,

Bugs
 
Thanks. Ha, That's funny. I'm quite glad the seller was willing to work with me to import and ship the bike over 3000 miles because I'm sure he would've had zero problems selling it local. That being said the bike arrived last Wednesday, I went o the DMV and got it road legal today. Now begins the fun. It's in decent shape but far from perfect, will definitely be a rolling restore and a love/hate relationship. But that's half the reason we mess with these old bikes....right? At least that's what I'm telling myself :)
