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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!
Hit 6k miles on my Strada last week. I've been riding a lot more off pavement than on, far more than I expected. I was thinking of going the Terrification route and adding spoke wheels etc. Ended up buying a Terra yesterday instead.
Did you trade the Strada on the Terra or have you kept both ?
Post when & where you bought it. Then a brief description of riding habits on it: commuter, or adventure. Also how mamy miles & any hiccups you've had with it.
I got tired of the stock tires and threw on some MT90's, which are great for me because I mainly ride on the street.
These tires look like what I want, but am I correct that they simply aren't available for the Strada sizes? 110/80-19 and 140/80-17?
Hit 6k miles on my Strada last week. I've been riding a lot more off pavement than on, far more than I expected. I was thinking of going the Terrification route and adding spoke wheels etc. Ended up buying a Terra yesterday instead. Here's roughly the same pic I took on the way home from Bills on my Strada. Ironically, they paved the road a couple of weeks ago, still like the view though. Can't say enough about Bill's Motorcycles Plus.
Is there a noticable differnce bewteen the Terra & Strada off pavement capabilites?
I bought a Terra but wonder if I should have bought the Strada (with TKC's) for its ABS & tubless wheels.
When: 7/22/13
Where: Reno Cycles and Gear
Riding habits: 70/30 dual-sport bike. Commuting during the riding season, some 150 mile + trips, and some dirt riding in the Sierra Nevadas.
Miles: 861
Hiccups: Some overheating issues. Burped the bike but still not perfect. No MOSS tool in my area so a Wuka will be installed.
Hey. I have about the same amount of miles as you and my strada has been overheating a lot lately. Each time I wait in traffic or on a red light I have to worry about the red warning light popping up. Just now I let the bike idle for about 8mins to check the oil level and the sucker overheats in a 65 degrees cool weather morning! Any idea if it's anything serious; the dealer said it's going to do that from time to time, but it's happening way too often it and too easily it
seems!
