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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Pikes Peak

Sign up as early as possible. The registration fee skyrockets as it gets closer to the event. Also, practice runs are very expensive, so it's a good idea to get out here before the event and ride the road as a "tourist". This way you can see the course without having to pay the ridiculous practice fee.
 
Love the vids of that race, all that drifting and sliding. Feel real safe way back here, bet its enthralling to be there for it. Good luck with your crack at the Peak.
 
Saw a bike that competed a year or so back that was a converted Ducati monster 690. They put proper DS forks and rear end on her and a bash plate, looked fantastic and did ok-top 10 I recall. The Bloke rode her there from about a 1000 miles away did the Peak and promptly returned home. I understand there is a company now building them to order-look like a great personalised DS/Motard type machine.
 
That Ducati sounds interesting. I hopefully will get accepted to run the Peak and plan to run my WXE 360 for my first time. If I get hooked I plan on building a bike just for Pike's Peak. Anyone got any hot 360 engine mod ideas?
 
When I bought my new '08 TE510, I signed up for the race excited at testing the Husky and it's new fuel injection at elevation and just wanting to race this epic race before the pave the whole thing.

Truck broke down twice trying to get there, once in Death Valley and once in Utah. Never made it to the event but want to try for next year, and I can go visit Clay. (Colo Moto)

C ya Jim.
 
I also want to race it next year. I've already got a (honda) CR250R in Denver. What do folks run for wheels/tires? Would stock size wheels work ok (19/21" or 18/21")?

There is a dude I see around here with that setup. Looks like fun for fast gravel DS rips.
