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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!
Im interested in those tyres too. Who imports them here in the US?

Look at all those 300cc 2 strokes.
Actually a friend of mine went,(tennessee is American!) rented a KTM 350 and a mechanic for $8,000. He is strictly amateur though.Local Southern Calif Kendal Norman is the only american entered and is doing well Running top 10
I could put that tire on my bike but I'm still not gotta get the forward push these guys are showing, ESP from the dead stops on the uphills\ rocks ... I guess they are all using auto-clutches of some type? I still don't understand how they get such a straight line shot in all that gnarly stuff ...
Ride a trials bike for awhile and it will all make sense. Yes auto clutches help too.
nice to see the "old" tech WR300 (factory bike) holding its own with Letti in the seat.

I have finish editing the Day 1 video, not too much action and high speed but you can see a few hot spots on the Day 1 track.
