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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Curious who has the most miles so far!

Yep, regular oil changes is the best thing. My R100/7 had over 300,000 using paper filters.

I just looked at the 2015 F700GS today, I love the look of that bike. Wonder how it drives. Price was crazy though.

I know a guy who got over 1 million miles on his beemer. I'll never do that, I'm fair weather rider now, I have nice comfy cars to drive in bad weather. 5k miles a year now is plenty for me. So, if I get 20 years out of this bike, that would be about 80 for me as well. I seriously doubt I will keep it that long. Too much cool technology. That and these bikes are going to be dropping fast when they start breaking. It will be too expensive to fix these.

I agree, don't think that they'll ever be "Classic" bikes & the spare parts won't be around for very many more years years
 
I'm not sure on the Terra wheels, but I would imagine the cush drive rubber for the Strada wheels are the same as the G650GS, no?

EDIT: The same part number is listed for both the terra and the strada wheel. I'm only assuming that since the strada wheel is direct from the G650GS, then the rubber is as well. This may or may not be correct.

EDIT 2: Husky Part: 2345789, BMW Part: 27712345789. Me thinks they is the same.
 
I hope the cush drive rubber is the same as bmw I am abusing it badly. Almost 23,000 miles. Thanks for the part #
