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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

250-500cc MY NEW PROJECT WR 250 2002

The bike looks great! Really like the updated plastics over the old stuff like I have on my 2002 WR 250. I just would have a hard time giving up the slim feel of my 02.

Jake, A pic of your old FBF CR250. It's stored in my cellar.

My friend John still owns it, but he was in a pinch for cash and sold the forks. I have a set of FBF Factory 45's with nitrided lowers that I'm not using. I'll probably loan them to John, as he wants to put the CR back to straight MX. He bought my old '00 WR250 for the woods, but "borrowed" parts for the CR as things broke or he sold them.
 
I'm torn.... I really like the updated look. Maybe it's that my 02 is so beat up and looks ratty. I've been slowly gathering parts for a re do. Now I'm looking at 05 tanks and seats. :)

I like the looks of the new ones better but the functionality of the older ones. The slim 3.4 gallon tank and slim seat with lower height works well for my technical riding.
