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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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, the Garage is cold...

Hey, a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do.My roommate and I once rebuilt my CR80 in the kitchen. It fit great on the landlady's kitchen table. I think she would have been OK with it. At least she would have been til my roomate fired it up and rode it through the dining room, living room, through the sunporch and out the front door
It took awhile for the blue smoke to dissipate. The house smelled like castor oil for a week! I used to keep my CR125 in the living room there because the sunporch was full of bikes. It was a drag, though, because we had to keep all the blinds closed in case the landlady came over to do yardwork.

I thought it looked pretty cool.

Her street bike spent from mid August until last Saturday in the same spot... She did not like it!
I had to move it because we were having people over. 
It is a room we don't use, and the garage is too full.
1 burnt finger, 1 burnt fuse, and one burnt wife... But the Soldering is done...

Nahhh, the gas smell is in the garage... As it turns out if you don't completely close the petcock gas will sloooooly leak out... At it turns out the rate is about a gallon and a half a week.
It evaporates quickly enough that the puddle was smaller than the tank.Sometimes I R dumB!
Later,
I made up a little "Turn-Table" Drove my bike into the kitchen, put the bike on the turn-table on center stand, turn the bike around and Zoom out the door the next morning.
Worked great!
Watch out for pilot lights on N.Gas fireplace, ranges or even furnaces. Fuel from the bike might ...well you know.

House rules: I always made sure that the gas tap was shut off and I put those little golf ball tees into the vent hoses running off the carb to make sure no fumes came out of them.

Sure, I'll marry you...if you have a truck and are a good mechanic
Oh, wait...
I'm already married, too...darn it!
There's plenty of women like us out there, you guys just need to know where to look. My husband ran across me when I worked at the motorcycle shop that was sponsoring his roadracing effort. See? It's easy!
