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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Hi Guy,s,

What are your thoughts on a WB165 for a 200lb Novice Vet, 53 y/o MX rider ?

I am wanting to start riding again after nearly a dozen years, although I am reluctant to jump on the 4 stroke "money pit" wagon.
The local MX track is tight / medium speed, with a loose to sandy surface.

There is a low hour 2009 Cr125 very nicely priced in my area.
 
My personal opinion is they are more fun to ride than the 4 strokes but you will need a good left big toe to keep it on the boil to run with the latest 250f offerings
As reliable as a ball pein hammer! feels way lighter than a 250/450f, Pipe choice makes all the difference with the 165 so its easy to tailor one for your riding style and ability.
And on the negative side as to not to build a 165 are as follows -














































Your face will ache from the permenant grin it will give you.
