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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

So I got my oldest a bike...

He just turned 9 and I got him a ttr50. He's a little big for it but I like that there's less power and my daughter will have it after he upgrades. It's really amazing how quick kids learn. They have no fear and surprisingly, he did most everything I told him to do. He probably ate dirt 30 times in 4 hours and would kick the bike off of him and keep going. Anyway, thought I'd share the future generation of our sport :).

That's great to see youngsters riding. He'll only get better as time rolls on. Taking dirt samples is part of learning how to ride. That's cool that your daughter will ride that bike when he grows out of it.

I'll just add that sand looking dirt is ok for falling in ... That guy could ride and learn and be somewhat safe a long time there ... All the other riding stuff he'll learn will just sort of take care of itself :)

And good luck to your son with his bike riding.
 
Jersey Woods, Juicypips- it really is a perfect time for him to start riding. Old enough to grasp what I'm saying but still young enough to fall like a rubber chicken lol. My daughter is really excited, mostly because she wants to beat her big brother :)

Ray_Ray-the best park shut down about 6 months ago but this ones the next best. This area is the parking lot when we race there. The nerve racking part was all around it is a minimum 10 foot drop off. I ran around and had him follow me and then he had a nice loop and knew where he could go. He got board quick and it was off to the MX track. I finally understood the fear his mother always has when they do crazy stuff lol. This place is only about 15-20 minutes from the house as well as a better MX track down the street so I'm definitely lucky.

Motosportz, Robertaccio- whatever lol. Loaded them from my phone and it doesn't auto rotate like FB. My avatar is sideways too lol
 
Great sport to teach a kid.

My 4yo grandson just learned to use the throttle today. We put a throttle stop in the throttle housing. He's going slow on his very powerful Suzuki jr 50. Just kidding he goes very slow for now. On his first crash he gets up and says human 0 dirtbike 1. We have no clue where he got that from.

Kids are a lot of fun. I got my second chance to ride with another new family rider.
