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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Man these places look like so much fun..........I really miss that about Aus, the choices of places to ride and to hang out with so many other people who share the same love of off-roading

After spending my formative bike riding years living in Brisbane - we used to be able to ride from the back of Toowong, around Mt. Cootha and onwards through The Gap and then out through Enoggera and Mt. Nebo all the way to Lake Manchester, on our mini bikes (3 of us had XR75s, there was a TM75 and a TY80), and having that as our automatic weekend activity that we kind of took for granted.

Now living in the UK, I realise what a luxury that was, and to have places like Manar Park and Motocross Mountain is completely awesome...........might have to plant the seed with the misses about moving home sometime in the not too distant future ;)
