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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Jake (08 TXC250/300), Shane (09 WR125), Joe (KTM 450) and my self (2010 TXC250) hit a local ride spot yesterday. There was 3-4 inches of slushy snow on top of mud clay and rocks. SUPER slick but fun once you got used to it. Too some Gopro vid. Will post more as they get up loaded.

Fun day.

Kelly is your camera mounted on your armor and not your helmet?

Great vid. :thumbsup:

Except for no visible elevation change, I'd swear you're riding on the trails behind my house.

:cheers:

This time i mounted it on my chin protector of my helmet. I like how it worked out. It is a real trick mounting system, a chunk of old license plate zip tied to my helmet.

I'm going to need to see about that mounting system! I've been looking for a better way for my GoPro also.
 
That was a really fun day, the hard rides usually are. :thumbsup:

Why are you not down with the embeding?:cool:

We finally got the jetting dialed on shanes 125. It may need a richer pilot but it is really close. :applause:

Yeah, Sahne a Jake need another variable, the puzzle does not have enough pieces :lol:.

- that would be cool. We have 2 09 WR125's here (Shane's and mine) so we can do some testing. :thumbsup:

Mounting it on top is not an option for where i ride, side mounting does not seem good ether and that all lead me to this. Works geat, EZ to get to and I like the angle. :cheers:
 
Kelly,

I will send you two as soon as I get them sorted and spec'd. It at least won't effect his jetting. :lol: It might eliminate a sore spot in the jetting to work around though. The places you guys ride are perfect for a progressive action to the govenor.

Kelly,

At some point in January I am going to be hauling a horse trailer to my sister in Deming outside Bellingham. I might try to get down to your neck of the woods to let you ride my WR 144 and get an independent review on the way it runs. You certainly have more exposure than I do to what works and doesn't. I will be back at work so this will be just a fly by but might be helpful to not only me but the others out there thinking about the spring kit as well as the 144 kit.

Can't believe I am going back to work on a Golf Course in Montana the first week of January with only limited time off. They were out there playing yesterday.

That would be great!!! :thumbsup: It would be fun to ride with you. My 125 really runs VERY good so it would be a good one to try the springs on that as it does not have other issues and we will see the potential of just the springs.

- i think my 04 Doma pipe i wrested on there works well for this bike.
 
Dang it all! Another great winter video. Just wait till I get a snow video down here....and wait, and wait, and wait....:lol:
 
I will really try to make it work. If it snowed a foot here that would really help. I guess I have to start working out so I don't slow you guys down too much. I am used to the couple of minute blow every 10 miles or so. :rolleyes:
