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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!
OK, I ordered one of these instead of a go-pro. As soon as the memory card gets here I can try it outA Go Pro is on my shopping list... hopefully I can contribute!
I got one of those in red for my cousin for Christmas. There should be a lot of footage on YouTube this summer of me riding past him on his TE511!OK, I ordered one of these instead of a go-pro. As soon as the memory card gets here I can try it outI choose hi-viz yellow so I can more easily find it - if it becomes unattached.

WoodsChick et al, and I met at MotoXotica one evening. There were test rides, etc.Dang, I missed this thread altoghther until now. *bonk* So did you get your Terra before WC? But after MZ?
Excellent choice! It is much better having a plated dirt bike and also a true dual sport. We like our combo's. I know you will love yours.
Ok, here is a test video, I was testing various mounts in simple terrain. The camera was upside down, and I flipped it vertically and horizontally, then youtube offered to fix the jumpiness/shaking.who cares- yer a good cook!
i suffer from that malady more than most nowadays...so i park and take shots w/ the scoot in the foreground! lol.
either way- enjoy it to the fullest kind sir. it's a sweet ride for sure and you above all are more than deserving of same.![]()
Yes. At least for that short video - and it obviously did not work that well, it was bouncing all over the place. I am trying all sorts of mounting methods. Center of the handlebars seems to work best for road riding, and probably helmet might best for off road. I like to experiment.Coffee where is your camera mounted? On your chest?
