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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

On Any Sunday

I just saw this movie for the first time, and may I saw I thought it was an absolutely exceptional movie. I feel like it really captures the original spirit of dirtbiking and motorcycling as a whole. Oh, and I don't mind seeing how everyone had Husqvarnas either!

Oh Yeah!:thumbsup: You watched it for the first time, now you will watch it 10,000 more times :lol:
On Any Sunday PartII next. But the original is one of the greatest documentary's ever made :applause:
 
I loved the first one. It was what was responsible for turning me into a dirt bike junkie for the rest of my life. I was disappointed with the second one. It didn't have the same charm as the first one. I went to see it once and never bothered to look at it again. I must have watched the original one forty times before I finally purchased the DVD of it. I still pop it into the DVD player every now and then, along with Dust To Glory.:D
 
I feel so behind the curve. Been dirtbiking since I was 8 (17 now) and I can't believe I only just saw it. Makes me think that dirtbiking was purer back then. Or just more insane.

Or both.:cool:

I dunno. I think that it is more insane now....or at least more extreme.
 
It is insane, to see what they were doing back then, on those bikes. Like when Brown Brown says, "the late Ken Presgrove. They dont always make it through a season."
Those guys and bikes paved the way for us now. How many bent frames, shocks, spokes, ect. did they blow, before our almost perfect bikes now in 2010?
You should hear guys complain at any MX track. They say, "its to dry," "it to wet," "jump faces are wrong." Think guys in 1970 may have been a bit tougher.
My Two Cents

I totally agree. I always think that with the refinement of a sport, people become less tolerant of less than perfect conditions.

I had always thought that off road racing was more about man against the natural elements back in those days. These days, it seems to be about man against manmade elements mostly. Nobody would ever end up like this, unless by accident back in the 70s.:eek:

Nope, bikes these days actually have suspension and brakes that work. I think it was better riding though as we could go anywhere, now our nanny states and tree huggers are gaining ascendancy
 
MY favorite movie by far was VIVA KNIEVEL

:lol::lol: OK just kidding :D

On Any Sunday....always a good movie to watch.. especially in Canada... in the dead of winter

I remember being totally drawn to the "supposed unknown kid doing the long wheelie on that z 50 Honda"

I was blown away when I found out during the making of "on any sunday"

It was Jeff Ward !!! Hows that for being famous...before you get famous....:notworthy:
