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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

The RV2 Crash -- 2015 MXGP of Trentino

Hope this guy is OK.... Saw nothing on injuries but this is a spot in the schedule where they race next week... How's that for racing luck after just coming off a 3 week break? Any case other than an injury might would benefit him racing each weekend I'd guess. He ran off the track and stayed away from the bike is all the video shows ...

Flipping a bike like down a straight away just does not happen often to guys of his caliber ... Looked like he caught traction and was not able to feather the clutch in time or <> to halt the tire from climbing?

He must have a gyro in his head?
 


What a beautiful backdrop for a race...

All I've read is no broke bones for RV2..


If nothing else, thanks RV2 for giving me a good understanding of EU GP racing ... It's not at all like ama racing in the states ... And unless something changes, its not a one man show (AC222) show over there any more.
 
it's a 4 man show till now but any in the top 10 can take a victory or rise to be a serious contender for the title at this stage of the championship.

its eye pleasing to see this kind of racing on the track.

I am roosting for Herlings also (Dutch and originally 30 Km from the place where I used to grow/up) and its amazing/impressive what level he is, yet for the pleasure of watching the sport the close racing actions are by far more better then one guy annihilating the field and setting up a win of a 15 seconds or more

The season just seems so leisurely ... They just had a 3 week layoff ...

RV2 could heal alot if this crash happened at the last race, last month ..
 
DeSale went down in the next corner....that was a weird one too. Front wheel in the air in a corner then it hit and washed out.....but he got right back up...didn't seem hurt.
 
The track dirt looked a little soft ... I was expecting rock hard ground only for that track... Still have not saw the entire race yet ...

RV looked a little like the bike jumped all sideways when his crash was just starting .... Might have been some ruts underneath giving him something ...
 
Definitely hooked up way more than he was ready for. You don't see guys of this caliber flipping bikes very often. Pretty freaky crash for sure.
 
This is some pretty good racing here ... It's the RV2 crash and the Desalle crash ... RV2 walks off but I gotta think he is ~hurt or it would have been announced he is not hurt... Certainly hope I'm wrong but they are probably sorting out all the details now ... Too too bad they race these 2 weekends back-2-back ... This time off stuff is where these guys differ from the racing in the states and it is doing RV2 no good at this time ... Maybe he's 100% well and what I'm talking is a non-event ...

About a month before the outdoors start in the states, everything else to me is just a place holder for this motocross season ... The EU guys not finishing their season till Sept(?) is still a little hard to get my head wrapped around and that's ok, its' their racing ... I wish RV2 well and if he races, OK, if not, OK ... Thanks for the clue on MXGP racing ... Really helps thin out any smoke being blown on the subject for future references ...

Maybe RD5 will let another new face on the top step of the podium ...
