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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Natural Gas an option?

I know they are dragging heavy machines all over parts of the US, currently.My uncle's farm is sitting on top of a natural gas pocket and the oil company said, that the pocket spans most of north east Ohio, down about 4000 feet and could possibly fuel us for next 100 years. They also think it will be fueling our vehicles?

I suppose a 4 stroke could be converted from a gas tank to a compressed tank/special carb or gas injected system?


The future could get quite interesting?
 
I don't think you get near as much mileage / power per volume so packaging might be an issue on a bike.

note the tank size on the one Paul Sr did...

It has to be stored under very high pressure to have any mass so that what ever vehicle is running off of it has some range, kind of like propane but higher pressure and a lot less range. It's ideal for stationary engines and heaters and the like. When I lived in Oklahoma many of my friends had it hissing out of the ground in their pastures and sometimes bubbling in their creeks, it was just going to waste because there was no pipeline nearby to haul it away.
