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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Big Fun last weekend...

I trucked the little 2011 TE 250 to So Cal to ride with my brother. Saddle Back Mountan duel sport
ride. 74 350 Bulltaco VS 11 250 TE Husky. On the fire roads he tried to kick my ass, with 3+ inches
travel and stupid fast. Dang I have always been faster than my bro in the dirt??? Once we started
to climb in the rough the 250 kicked ass. In the low end the Bulltaco 2 stroke kickked my ass.IMGP0005.JPG IMGP0008.JPG IMGP0012.JPG IMGP0020.JPG all the way...

Big Fun

Nice looking bikes and terrain ! And a 350 Bulltaco ?... That engine does not look so big ... It's pipe does look a weird going up and then coming down and back up again :)

... That short suspension travel really limits a bike ....
 
That Bultaco Alpina(?) looks to be in good shape. Pretty rare sight now days.

Never got the chance to ride the Alpina, but did ride a '73-'74 Bultaco Pursang 360 motocrosser a couple times back in the late '70s. I still remember it having what felt like 4ft wide handlebars, left side kick, very strong vibration and a very strong running engine, that at the time, scared the crap out of me with how fast it could go.........and probably still would today, except it would be due to that lovely '70s suspension and handling
 
The Alpina was the ultimate woods bike back in the day. It was to trail bikes what a Gas Gas Pampera is to them today, a cross between an enduro and a trials bike. Gotta love those old Bultacos.

Yup, still very good today for my Brother. I think his newest bike is a 78 Maico 250? and He rips on
old bikes. I hope to get him out doing Vintage Class racing??? He has a Maico 501 in the works... Catalina Island GP if it ever happens again ???
