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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

All 2st The obligatory video thread.

Race Update - I recently did another race with the LACC gang. These events are getting pretty popular and the turnout was great with 137 riders in the main event alone. I've only recently started racing and this was my fourth go at it. C-Lites class on my CR 125. I got a fantastic start this time around and was 2nd going into the woods, only to throw it away 10 minutes later when I got impatient trying to make a pass for the lead in a technical section. It sucks watching a train of 8 or 9 guys that you were in front of blow by in about 2 seconds. :o But I fought back and ended up finishing 4th in my class with 5 laps in 1 hour 40 minutes. :thumbsup:

Here is a little bit of footage from lap 2. The grass track section was super fun and I was getting quicker through there as the race progressed and by lap 5 I think I really had my braking points dialed much better. It's fun to have someone on a big bore leave you in the dust on a straight only to reel them in or even pass them back in the braking zone. These light little bikes stop so well! Much room left for improvement but I'm getting faster...

I sure do like the sound of the 125s
 
I was just thinking that looks a lot like the woods I ride in, then I saw you were from St Louis. Duh.

BTW the music track is awesome.

That's Howling Wolf in his video. Nice choice colemanapp...

Every man should listen to some Howling Wolf once in a while, or a lot. You owe it to yourself to at least pick up the greatest hits from amazon or apple or something. Seriously.
 
Yep Howlin Wolf and MO woods. Lankydoug, we are right at 1 month away from 2 days of the best singletrack MO has to offer. MTRA Show Me 200 AMA dual sport and I believe spots are still open. Let me know if you're interested and we'll get you set up. There's a couple good videos I posted from the Show Me 200.
JSK73, nicely put. Everyone get some Wolf.

Is the MTRA the guys that do the poker run near Viburnam? If so I joined that group last year and had a blast riding the poker run. One of my friends who ride a YZ250 said he rode a lap along with a guy on a Husky 360, that might have been you.
 
Somebody needs a new rear fender.:)
Those blokes on the 4jokes kept you on the fireroads to make them feel fast. Surprise them next time with a higher drive on your sprockets, or take it to the bush. You would probably be waiting for them to catch up.
 
MO looks very similar to the stuff we ride in Eastern Tennessee. Steady momentium and standing is the key to those long rocky sections.

Yep, there seems to be a magic speed where you glide over the tops of the rocks. If your too slow it beats you up and too fast will usually put you in a tree.
