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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

a long list of former top tier national MXers will be there, classes for everyone to enter. I may be on the Decade class RM125 for this one unless I can get CR125 Husky sponsorship between now and then...... Cmon CH classic/vintage Husky guys (and others) this will be a great MX event!!
 
Hey calling all riders... there are modern run what ya brung classes too. The old school atmosphere should be great.
 
Hey I know this is a biased group......but I have been second guessing my ride for this weekend, 97 RM125, or 99 TE610 in Dual Sport Trim........ if I stick with the Husky theme that we all have all assumed the TE610 is choice one.
PS I have ridden the 610 on this track (prior to the Carlsbad replica modifications) before. What do all you cafe inmmates think? The big girl is soft and wallowy but always fun to ride (carefully). The RM is probably safer and well set up even for my weight on the mx track.........

Waiting for some foto sites to come up, there were lots of fotogs(not me) and videographers there. Lots of amazing vintage MX machines and vintage high level riders as well. Marty did a great job and really its not over yet its yesterday and today. I rode the RM125 in the decade bike 50+ intermediate class and went 2-3 for 2nd in class (each class was small so it sounds better than it is) That was my first ever true MX gate start (MX race). bike ran great first race I never got passed after the start and caught one guy (modern CRF450) but never got around him, 2nd moto passed 2 modern CRFs midway through the 6 lap moto, that was the best!!!
A nice tribute was made to the Croft family (Tommy Croft former Honda factory rider) and to his Dad for always flagging at Carlsbad back in the day, they made a "statue" tribute. Also a a nice moment of silence for missing riders that were named. The names that were there were a good History of MX in the USA, next years event has commitment from some foreign champs as well, Joel Robert being one. Some names of the riders off the top of my head Steve Wise, Gary jones, Bill Silverthorn, Tommy Croft, DeWayne Jones, Scott Burnworth, John Desoto (flew in from Hawaii), Marty Tripes, and a bunch more and all of us regular rider folks.
 
got to say the music is kickass in that video and compliments the vintage bikes nicely...can find anything on the band though
