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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Perfect NW ride conditions - NOT!!!

We also had some other untended modifications that I forgot to take pictures of... foot pegs that needed ice skates. It was interesting trying to stand on the pegs when most of the peg was covered in a 3/4" high ball of ice. One time I had to chip it off with a screwdriver.

Later,
 
Yeah, standing could be dicey. You never knew if you were going to stand on an ice ejecto ramp. :eek: I shifted to first several times when stomping the ice out of the pegs.
 
It's well into Nov so snow is to be expected ... I always liked the summer rides when the snow was melted at the lower altitudes and we rode up to the snow line as far as possible...then return next week to see how much snow had melted in the last 7 days...

I never stand up...except to look ahead and say "oh $%@!" Much easier to go over the bars if you are standing up.

It is also much easier to go over the bars if you use the front brake... You should probably remove it just in case. :D

Proper body position is everything, that is a big thing Shane Watts beats into his students in his classes.

I sit a lot, too much really. But the biggest thing I think is do what makes you comfortable...

Later,
 
That looks like one of those fine, ICE T KA's!

Last time I ran in snow, I hit a snow drift and went over the bars. One of of the softest landings, though!
