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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Took a while, like six months, but I'm finally riding again.

My Brother and I took three days and headed out to Ocotillo in the SoCal Desert.

14:40 into our first ride of the weekend my Nephew swapped out and fractured his wrist. He was on the CR125R I built for him over the winter (also pictured).

Ahh yes the wrist. My1st broken bone. Hopefully he's young enough to heal well.

I told him to chill going through the area we were riding in. He thought it would be funny to gas it and, BOOM, he made the wrist list. He did get himself back to camp so kudos to him for that.

He's now got some war stories I guess.
 
Bet you are glad to be back in the saddle. Once its in your blood you really miss scratching in the dirt.. Love my road and dual sport riding but real dirt bike stuff for me is heaven.

It was tough not being able to ride. Watching SX on Saturday Nights is NOT an acceptable substitute!
 
Good to be riding again?

My seven year old grandson was over on his quad tonight jumping and catching air for the first time. Scary....he looks like robo cop in full gear but think the riding bug has bitten him now. Soon grandpa is gonna dig deep for a bigger dirtbike. The jr50 Suzuki is holding up for now. He's riding the quad and bike.

You give me flash backs of looking inside my sons boot and seeing a second knee. He broke his leg on a tree, broke the tree then rode laps around a little motocross track trying to shake it off. He pulls up to me almost falls over I grab the bike as he tells me he thinks he broke his leg. I called 911. He had a knee pad that goes inside the upper boot plus the boot. He leg broke but the bone never broke the skin. A surgeon from nam fixed him up.

One of my falls tested my 3xxx chest protector. I stopped and tried to put my right foot down on terrafirma. There was no ground it sloped down away from me. I fell over head first into big rocks sliding on my new chest protector.
Make sure you have ground beneath you.
