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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Rick Smits....new Yahho sports article...on Husky

Yeah, that article is pretty good but it say's bicycle motocross, motocross racing & track behind his house which sounds like a motocross track but is really about 10 miles or more of the best tight trail woods riding you could imagine. He races harescrambles & endurocross & does really well.
 
I agree, at first I thought they were talking bicycles...and I was pretty sure he was a motocrosser before I read the article
 
I'm 6'5" ish and like the Huskies because they are tall man friendly, Rick is about a foot taller than me and makes his bike look like a mini-bike. Next time I feel like complaining about bars too low, shifter too short, brake pedal too high, seat too low or pegs to far forward I'll think of him.
 
He makes that TE310 look like a mini-bike............Although he has a weight disadvantage when racing, being so tall makes up for that and more, in that he can manhandle a bike in ways the rest of us can only dream of.
 
I race behind him a lot... Big dude on that bike.. I tell you what he is about the nicest guy out there racing... Doing 3-4 different series in Indiana along with isde....
