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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Exotic motorcycle

Great read, and certainly applicable to the TRR650's. On the other hand if you go into the experience with eyes wide open and do your homework on sites/forums like this one, ADV, and thumperT you save yourself a lot of the unpleasant surprises the writer experienced. And it helps to have at least some basic mechanical skills and an interest in tinkering with your exotic so you see and understand how its put together and how things work.

Me? I ain't skeered! I love my Terra, but I've also got a Beta and a couple of Chinese clones (small 4 wheeler for wife and a Honda Trail 70 clone), none of which I'd enjoy owning if I didn't understand and embrace the "you're on your own and it's going to be an adventure (and learning process)" idea. -Scott

"You're on your own" LOL Yes true. Half of my mileage comes from the 50k commute to work and back. Rain hail or shine & darkness I look forward to climbing aboard every single time. With the cost of parking a car in the city the terra has paid itself off in 3 years, in full and has never let me down. At lights I often laugh at supermotos (of various incarnations), while their floundering swapping cogs, the terra is pointing skywards and gone. 690s included. This is kinder an Exotic drug for me and this is another

I love my Terra.
A friend has bought a Tenere 660... Nothing is like the Terra.
All the others are just try hards.
I can load mine to the gills and have power ( helped by P/Commander and Autotune)
Simple ,end of story

Watch Kawas 650s..Suzis 650...Not even close.
I suspect there are Italians who were embedded in the Terras production who still wonder what happened>

Can you imagine what improvements could have been developed after a few years production..
KTM would've had to shave $1000s of their inflated prices..
I love my Terra...
 
Love mine as well. Ridden back to back with a 650 GS they are startling different... and I prefer just about everything about the HUSKY to the BMW. Would probably buy another if something happened to my Terra-fied Strada. The only other bike I have eyes for these days is Honda AT--pretty different animal, but I want to ride one soooooo bad.

Yeh You and me too

The wife keeps nagging "when are you going to buy a car?" And I'm thinking of adding a Honda AT to keep the terra and yz company.. Want more of a lazy dirt road tourer for extended outback trips.
So I can go here>cost.JPG
