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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

G'day

G'day folks, Rob here

Picking up my new TR650 Terra this weekend! After seeing ride reviews and reports I took one for a test ride on the weekend. I have a 1991 XT600E so the TR feels smooth as silk in comparison.

I know nev from round abouts and have ridden with him in New Zealand. He pointed me in this direction, and wow, there is a lot of good info and some mighty fine fabrication going on. Great to see people getting in and designing their own mods.

My First ride is going to be a few hundred kays through my neighbourhood, the Tamar Valley in Tasmania. Looking forward to it!

Rob
 
Welcome Rob,
Congrats on your new ride. Post up when you get er and show her off.:thumbsup:
Did some searching of your neighbourhood...looks like a very nice place.

Thanks Husky Dude, vineyards and wineries all over. I'll have to pick a nice spot of some of the scenery.... With bike in of course!!!
 
G'day rob
Welcome good to see another terra in Terra Australis
yep you shore have found the best place to get info.
I got to get down that way one day (Cradle Mountain, The roads!& Thylacines!)
It would have to be summer.

Cheers, johnb. :thumbsup:

Make sure you do take the opportunity to come down if you get it, and make sure you spend 1-2weeks minimum, Tassie has lots more to offer than a 3 day flying lap that a lot of people figure will be enough
 
Hi all
I too am picking up my bike to this weekend (hopefully), moving up from a Cagiva Mito of all things...
Decided on the Strada as most of my commute is highway and I thought the ABS may come in handy
Plus it was on sale cheaper than the Terra by $500

First decent ride hopefully will be down to Port Arthur (long sweeping bends and some forestry side roads)

Will be so nice to have a bike that I dont need to rev the arse off to get anywhere and the fact the family
jewels aren't getting squashed into tank during hard braking
 
Welcome to the cafe Rob, good to have another Aussie here.
I spent two weeks riding Tassie a few years ago, and it is DirtBike Paradise!!!
Very jealous that you get to ride that place all the time, enjoy the Terra!
 
Thanks guys, and G'day Spicy :)

Plenty of good roads close to you and the right side of Hobart to get access to Port Arthur and the East Coast pretty quickly. I think I spotted one other guy from Hobart way on here already too with a Terra. Heard the Hobart dealer had sold about 10 of them by Agfest. Might have to start a club? :cheers:
