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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

So since I've been picking up a lot of bikes over the years and just don't want to have to spread them all over the interweb or the cafe I'm going to start putting them all on here.
Thanks Chris
 
So let's start with my newest
1967 BSA B44 EA
It's a Victor 441 Enduro
I picked this up last week got it back to the shop and got it running missing some stuff Rusty and looks like I got hit by a car
I found a partial gasket missing on the intake manifold which was most of the flat spot The rest of it is the needle jet is a 106
But the manual calls for a 107 so I have those coming also got some rubbers for all the feet stuff shifter kicker foot pegs
Shocks the right hand shock is bent really bad so are the handlebars or something is when I write it it's leaning a little bit to the right enjoy the pics

Here's a 1954 Excelsior Talisman 250
It's in pretty good shape and runs. Needs a Kick Return Spring and a Battery Box. It is a 2 cylinder 2 stroke. And a Plunger Rear Suspension.
Speedo is out for repair and the Coolest Thing it has a Keyed Throttle. I'll get a pic of that tomorrow!!

If you zoom in on the 3rd pic in the collection you can see the keyed throttle. SO COOL!!!
When I post up pic from my google photos app you can use your mouse wheel to zoom on the pic it may take a second to focus but these are taken with my pixel phone and it take great pics as long as I'm not shaking!!
