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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Case saver

Addendum: Woody's shipped all to San Diego and I re-shipped the new wheels, rear hub, 2 disks and ABS ring to the Philippines along with a Shim Kit, LED Lights, K&N 151 Filters, SuperSprox Kit, Bell Barricade Helmet, Olympia Dakar Vented DS Jacket, Forma Adv Boots +,+. As for the the Bash Plate, it came off my 1998 KLR 650 (purchased in Colorado Springs May 1999 & I have it here with 10,178 miles) if I remember it was a Moose Unit for like $56? I just adapted to the Terra. FYI, the KLR was crated in Colorado Springs and went to Denver, then via Air Freight to Munich and then Jeddah in Saudi Arabia for $ 1,078. Used the KLR for 7 months in and around Taif (2 hrs East of Jeddah) then my contract ended and the Defense Contractor shipped me, Margaret the household goods & the KLR to the Philippines. WHAT a DEAL! Regards to All, ChrisMy KLR in Alfonso, Cavite Aug 2014.jpg
 
Hey Chris, thanks for the informative reply. Much as i'd love a set of Woody's super laced. I've got a bit more scavenging to do for that dosh. Thanks also for putting that quote for air freight up here for folks to see. I once did a big overland trip many moons ago. Good to know that air freights still a viable/affordable persuit. Safe travels!
 
Hello All, Please be aware that the shipping (Ground & Air Cargo) amount that I paid (Colorado Springs-Denver to Jeddah) was in May 1999. I believe? there are more FAA / Federal Restrictions in place now and it would cost more nowadays. Hope to sell my KLR next month so I can add some camera equipment. Regards, Chris
