My Wife is riding her Strada from Oxnard, California to Dover, Delaware. She is in Zion NP, Utah at the moment and I will meet her in Monument Valley for the ride home. ( I’m on a Honda AT).

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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!
Across the USA on a Strada!

We’ve now ridden through Monument Valley, Mesa Verde NP, and Great Sand Dunes NP. We are currently in the Rocky Mountain NP.
This is very cool! Nice of you to meet her out there and ride home with her

One last photo of the Strada on US 30, the Lincoln Hwy. in Iowa and us in the Medicine Bow NF, WY. We made it home to Delaware today.The Strada ran perfectly across the USA, from 12,000 ft. elevations in the Rockies to 100 degree heat in the Midwest. My Wife's advice for long distance riding on this bike: get a good throttle lock and keep your speeds below 80 mph due to the buzy nature of a big single. BUT, the great handling and lightweight are wonderful on the secondary, twisty roads of the mountain and Appalachia States!
