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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

MXA/Jody's Old MXer/racer Article

fantastic article/commentary... gives me lots of hope for my own MX longevity...
 
I have no doubt that I'll want to keep riding another 5-20 yrs but I'm not sure my body will take the punishment through the yrs .... If the trails get too rough, I'll shift to street stuff and keep going ...
 
Ray,
No need to do that.......just dial it back a notch or two and don't crash.......ride til you're 90
 
Thanks and I did a version of that 'scale back a notch or two' the last couple of days with the help of a camera making me stop often and this kept my speed down alot and it was a big help I think ... Next issue, I have been having knee swelling from riding 5 days in a row pretty hard ... I'm thinking of doing the dial back and having a rest day or 2 will fix most of the current issues I'm having ... So maybe there is hope for over coming some of the physical short comings some of us have ...

The crashes are low now as I have gotten tired of denting my bike :)
