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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Thought you guys might enjoy this bit of pre-red plastics nostalgia. This article is out of a French mag called Moto Verde and features a couple of nicley set up WR's back in the day when they were leading the 125 and 250 class at WEC 2000/2001. I never got it translated, but very much enjoyed the pictures!

Hi, sorry the site wouldn't accept a bigger file. But when you open it you should be able to enlarge it. If you pm your email address I'll send you the full size file.

That he does. Lives and rides above the central coast, NSW. He wasn't overly content with getting 2nd in the Aussie Championship last year, so it'll be on like Donkey Kong again in a few months. He's riding a WR450-F, again.
