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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Notice that sportbike riders were competitive, while in the modern editions of the Mettet Superbiker they're not.
 
I was in Mettet last week end for the 29th edition of the superbiker. What an evolution! Not a single US rider was there, but supermoto champs , like T. Chareyre, M.R Schmidt, R Febvre etc... It was great as usual

 
Marc Reiner Schmidt is German. As you said, he has the bike and the skills to be the next world champion. Plus he is very cool, giving out posters and always ready for a pic with a fan ( here with my boy ). A great guy really

I still agree and I'd like to point out this:
Checking his laptimes in the European Championship and the ones of the riders from the World Championship (you can do it here: http://www.supermotos1.com/results.php), you can notice that he was usually about 1 or 2 seconds slower than them. For example: in Ottobiano, his best laptime occurred in the warmup: 1:31.00, while Chareyre did 1:28.94.
But, in the Italian Supermoto Series, when he had to compete directly against some people from the World Champioship, he was, usually, just some tenths slower.
For instance, still in Ottobiano, he did 1:29,87:[url]http://www.mgmtiming.it/2015/italia...gara 1 - classifica - 2015-09-27 15.15.37.pdf.[/FONT][/SIZE] [FONT=verdana][SI... at [/SIZE]here [url]http://www.mgmtiming.it/, clicking on "Italiano Supermoto").[/url][/FONT]
