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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Roadracer Ben Spies Going To National Enduros For 2018

Yamaha doesn't really give 2 sheeites about off road. They are all in for moto/supercross though. They are smart enough to make off road variants but not into race support. Gary Sutherlin just won 2 national championships on Yamaha, but the team only got a slight bulk discount and that was more the dealer working that deal. Yamaha didn't do anything, no parts even. Maybe that will change, but I will believe it when I see it.
 
Yea stumps me why they don't get more into enduro street legal stuff, cost maybe or no interest. The wr450 street legal would be a nice ride. So for now ktm/husky is the only real choice i guess which ain't that bad but more competition may drive prices down. $12k for a new bike and it keeps going up every year crazy imo
 
Agreed, that 450 motor is a beast. I would totally like to see that as a DS. Too bad they went the easy route and just have that heavy 250.

Anyway, good to see some fresh blood in the Enduro world.
 
He didn't have the best luck with Yamaha after moving to the factory team, at least not the second season. Then went to Pramac Ducati before the injury. Really glad he's back racing something. I just read that he's on a team that Russell Bobbitt is doing.
