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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Post up your street bike pics

Lost my old MV Agusta Brutale when I traded it in on my new FE 501. Then I bought a little Yamaha and rode that around for several months....

but last Friday, I couldn't resist buying a leftover 2017 MV Agusta Brutale Dragster RR, and there wasn't enough room in the garage, so the R3 had to go.
 
Looks great and much better than the R3 DD. I couldn't take the forward leaning riding position anymore getting older and back was not liking it soooooo after a lot of research pulled the trigger on this about 10 months ago. I know it's a ktm but one of the most enjoyable powerful bikes I've ownedimage.jpeg

Your story of back in the day and this sequence of pictures brings back awesome memories. I went to tech school in Denver in 75 and they had a 73 900 that we learned on. Never got to ride it! Went to work in a Kawi dealership in Dodge City, Kansas. Was the only mechanic. Customers would bring the 900's in and I would go over them from spokes to valves. Of course I had to RIDE them!!! weee heee was 18 and rode all those new Kawasaki's. In 78 they gave me a Yamaha shop in Garden City Ks to run. OMG the first year of the XS 1100!
What a BEAST, what a time in my life. I had every 1978 Yamaha at my finger tips, I rode them all as fast as they would go. Thanks for the memories!
