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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

NW Gathering 2013: Oct 24th-27th @China Hat

Bend is shaping for mostly sunny, 0% chance of precip, high of 65, and low around (or just below) freezing for the weekend. Gonna bring a thicker sleeping bag, but planning to head out Friday morning and be down by afternoon.

ositively troical.
 
^^ Was supposed to say "positively tropical" but apparently some random keys have decided to die.
 
I'm going to try to leave in the morning (Wednesday), camp Wednesday night, run a couple of quick errands in Bend Thursday morning, then be back out to China Hat just afternoon.

And last I talked to the people at Bills/BMP, they are also planning on being out there just afternoon on Thursday.

Best guess on my departure time would be early Sunday morning.
 
I should be out there riding friday afternoon. Then most the day Saturday. My or may not ride Sunday as I am bringing my wife and daughter and may want to hang out in Bend with them Sunday. See you all soon. :cheers:

The past 2 years we had factory support from HVNA, this year they are not acknowledging the existence of this site.

You would think some of the Old Guard would have let them know about us .. I was thinking some of them might still be around ?

I'm not one of the official "Bill's People" but I think Bryon and I are going to be launching one caravan east from Salem early in the 8:00 hour, with several other people en route from this area shortly after.

There is room on my trailer for at least two more bikes if anyone in the greater Salem area needs a haul.

I honestly can't say that I'm shocked to hear that, considering the hate that's been spewed on several threads (guilty of a little of that myself). People must think that "they" don't see all that, too. Saddening.

We are the customers they should start some kind of charm offensive...
