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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Big Bear Dual Sport Ride

Will have to get me a Nomad tank so I have enough range for this, B2V, not having to bum gas off Ty, etc...
 
You do not need a big tank. Start to first gas stop was only 80 miles a shell station in Lake Arrowhead. Then about the same to the finish, you can always carry a gallon in a back pack.
 
With a conservative map I'm good for about 75 miles with 2.5 gal stock set up. We did a run dry test when I rode with Ty. Lucky his 501 has a supertanker tank! I really need one so I can dual sport properly. The larger one that goes on the rear fender is 4.5l, or 1.18 gal. That would get my range somewhere around 100 miles+.
 
Pulled the trigger today and ordered one from AUS since Kelly got out of the game. Too many DS rides that I don't have the range for so made the effort, not the excuse.
