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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

250-500cc WR 300 vs. KTM 300XCW

I'm certainly not the greatest rider in the world, but I want my bike to be the best handling bike in the world....so I picked the WR. I had a chance to ride a 2012 XCW 300, and I found it to be have very smooth power, but even though the bike is supposed to be lighter than the WR, I found it to feel heavier and less responsive in the turns, and not really any more stable tracking on the straights. Yes, I wish that the clutch 0n the WR worked a little better and wasn't prone to dragging (I bought a better clutch cable to reduce that problem) and the e button is a nice thing to have, but neither of those missing features were enough to deter me from buying a machine that fit my riding style and needs so well. You can't buy confidence, but buying the WR was the closest I could get to that. And oh yeah...I love the powerband on the WR.:thumbsup:
