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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

this is just great... you can see Greeves, AJS, victors, huskys, CZ, a handful of Italians makes.

I think I saw Rolf T also (6:34) maybe? Dave Bickers, Jeff Smith are featured. The track is gorgeous and the film quality is pretty damn good too- great color.

I think this was 1966?

Brilliant footage. That was when I was starting to ride dirt bikes back in the mid 60's. Boy have the machines and equipment improved so much in that time.
 
funny illl complain about "something" on a modern bike then watch one of these vid's....suddenly my modern scoot seems a lot better mreeep!
 
No suspension, no disc brakes, no liquid cooling. No suspension or very little by watching this video everyone stands up. These were tough men riding in those days. It makes us wonder how long would the riders of today last on those early bikes. In the John Penton story they rode and raced Harley’s off road . I’m surprised buying a bike in a kit form never caught on,
