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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

went on a little jaunt round europe recently. i blogged it on my website if any of y'all are interested. didn't do it on the husky but my other little princess, a daytona 675. great trip and probably one of the best experiences of my life so far. will be going on another very soon (once the winter passes).

will be adding vids soon (pretty tame riding to be honest as i was touring) and a map of my route but for now if any of you feel like killing some time (starts at bottom of page 'the night before' - then reads upwards)...

Blogging is weird. It's like talking to an invisible audience.

Isn't that the truth... I really don't think I could maintain a blog/log like you did.

Nice write up. :)
 
thanks coffee. to be honest it was only the fact i was on my own in the evenings that kept me at it. then i found i really got into it, especially after a few beers! but very hard to keep it going when you have company.
 
Can see why you want to go back, fantastic trip. Mate you are a better man than me, 500 mile days on a sports bike, my back would be is seizure right now.
Great write up. Thanks for sharing and looking forward to next years installment.
 
thanks a lot mate :) always nice to get some feedback. yeah must say it was a baptism of fire as had only done about 150 miles prior on the bike, and that was across 2 rides! i felt the pain more in my legs from staying clamped on to the tank but in the latter days you just end up swapping pain in one part of your body for another by using your weight differently!

the highlight was the nordschleife. absolutely mental place! much more than i was expecting but highly addictive. when you're on it you wanna get off it and then when you're off it you wanna get on it!
 
ha ha. actually got used to it surprisingly quickly. only pulled out on to the wrong side of the road twice!
