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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

NE Husky Gathering Report

Had a good time also at the Husky gathering, and match a few faces with people on this forum. Also got to give my new 07 WR125 its inauguarel mud bath and find out how much more tweaking it needs. Had to sneak out Sat. night as Joe was looking to sacrifice my sons Pumpkin to the Bonnfire (all in good fun of course) I have few pics but have to down size them first.

Drew wasn't the only special guest to attend!

Hey all- it's John. No broken bones, just a badly sprained elbow. The ER was very impressed with Joe's sling. Thanks again for everyone's help- both pre and post crash- it was a pleasure to meet you all. And a special thanks to my ambulance driver, Pam! Can't wait until next year...
 
Thanks for the pics Kara! My son is on the quad-but he has a Husky jersey on. His first ride in 10-12 years. We had a great time!
Joe's Husky blender was a bit too good-I was feelin' it the next day.
Drew is a pleasure to hang out with and a blast to follow.
Suspension and riding tips from a master. Terry and Thunder Ridge did a great job. I was glad for Sunday breakfast w/coffee.
John-very glad you weren't broke. Keep it iced if it swells. That's right where the Tennis elbow starts to happen.
Take a good look at the Husqvonda WTF 230 Kara is riding. Joe made it look much better than stock and of course it runs better too.
 
Thanks, Pete :) The rest of the pictures we got are posted on Photobucket:

Didn't get too many action shots because I was too busy riding the WTF 230. I'm proud to report that I broke a footpeg on a big root (better than my foot)

The Husky Gathering was a great time and it was good to see some old friends and make some new ones. No KTMs or Honda were harmed in the building of the bonfire, and glad to hear John is OK. Hope to see him at next year's Gathering, along with Sailor Jerry, Rum Jumbie and the blender will be there if anyone needs strong painkillers. :thumbsup:

Thanks! :thumbsup:
 
Thanks to Bob and Pam for their pics too! Some good one of my son and of course me sweating:D
As more of the ladies showed up this year it seems like I may get my wife to come out on her quad next year. I'll bring the XR80 for beginners and short people:thumbsup:
 
My wife will probably be also coming to the Gathering next year.. Since this was the first year I was able to go to the Gathering, she just wanted me to scope it out for her to make sure she wouldn't be sitting by herself all weekend long.... The wife rides,,,she just rides the ones that burn hay instead of gas if ya know what I mean.
 
questions from a Aussie.

looks like great day out,
i'm just interested in how we enjoy bikes in different countries;
i assume that is a dedicated private bike park ?
what sort of cost to ride at a park with that grade of facilities ?
 
Many riding places in the north east USA charge about $25 to $30 to ride for a day. (Camping is genaerlly extra (minimal fee)
 
I wish I had just come up instead of surfing Hurricane Bill; instead surfboard driven straight into my nose while under 10 feet of water.

Now I have to wait 7 weeks to heal and then a complete nose job. It's broken in 20 places like a crushed potato chip and my septum is fractured and bent. I also missed an enduro yesterday because of this and no more riding this year. No worries though because I'm just glad I didn't get knocked out because I wouldn't have made it if I did. I do wish I had just stayed home or managed to get my other commitments cleared so I could've been riding with you all instead.

I am only going to leave this link up for a couple days as I'd rather the pic not get spread too much.

EDIT: Actually, I don't want to make you all sick so just PM if you'd like to see a pic or two.
