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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Well, i was finally able to get up into the mountains and do some single track riding. American Fork Canyon near Lehi UT. I just came off a 2007 Yamaha WR 450 that i loved, except for the weight. I can't tell you how impressed I am with this 310. I still have some breaking in of the suspension and it was the first really hard ride i put on the motor. The more I ride it, the more i love it. The low end grunt it takes to get up some of these trails makes this bike shine even more. The light feeling, the ease in turning, the throttle response and brakes are fantastic. I was getting a bit of a lag at times, almost like it was running out of gas but just a twitch of the throttle and it went away. I'm going to attribute that to it not being completely broken in yet. My eleveation changed from around 5000 to well over 7000, only ran into snow on one trail. Hands down, this bike works so much better for me then the WR450. I did a little track riding on it last week and loved how much more stable i felt hitting the burms. On my 450 i would sometimes loose the rear end, not on the 310.

Love it and would highly recommend them for any single track riders and even desert riding.

Can't wait to hit Moab with it later in the year. here is a photo looking south at Mt Timpanogas.

Here is a 2nd photo, if you look at the center, there are two distant mountain ranges. In front of those two distant mountain ranges is Utah county. What an awesome place to be able to ride. IMG_0936.JPG
 
It really is. Was a bit hot up there yesterday though.

Can anybody tell me how to post videos on this site? Can I just upload it from my computer or do I need to post it on a video sharing site? Youtube maybe?
