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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!

If you serious about a 125, here is a clean bike in Beaverton. Been on craigslist for a couple of months, so you may be able to talk him down a bit as well

Last winter we got a bunch of snow here...Everyone on the tv and radio and road went insta-stupid...I couldn't understand what everyone was so wound up about
Thanks, much appreciated, it means a lot coming from you.
Though that is clearly not a performance enhancing add-on e.g it does not make the bike go faster. After it gets more use I'll do some kind of report on it.
Those are just plain-Jane Shinko 244's...I was dual-sporting it last winter but commuting on it too. They get "acceptable" marks from me in the on-road handling department, and a "surprising" rating in terms of traction in the red clay slime in the hills around here.
So, they call that white stuff snow? Interesting, never seen it before.
All you have to do is visit Lake Arrowhead/Twin Peaks area at the right time :-) I lived up there for a couple of years and the snow comes quick and disappears just as quick.

Open invite to come check it out.
Loaded and ready for my solo trek to the CafeHusky NW Gathering, 4am comes awful early...
Fall is here...
Or maybe it's winter?
9 hours later I reach my destination. After goofing off at Atomic-Moto, my local source for killer moto gear, it's time to hit the local bar with some friends and see The Rum and The Sea, a local Pirate folk band...
The bar is housed in an old Catholic school. They have a theater and a magnificent soaking pool at 102º...
I'd have rather been soaking instead of locking up my Huskys for the night...
I wake up to 24º temps and some snowy bikes...
Time to go hook up with my Husky brethren, old friends and new...
Great...it just keeps getting colder...
And snowier...
Ahh...my cozy little camping spot...
Time to hit the lovely trails!
Where the hell are we, Jon?
More on the way...
