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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!
Now that you bought the TR650 - where ya gonna go?

Nifty.
I've done Eskdale spur 3x and been blocked twice by timber down.
So you did Shortcut Tk? Steep? Been eyeing that one off.
I can recommend Rodda Spur Tk - off Trappers Gap Rd - then Trapper Spur track. There's a lot of up on that second one.

Through Brisbane Ranges and up through Lerderderg State Forest. One small off on a steep, downhill, sandy hairpin - just after I had finished congratulating myself on how much better I have become at handling steep, slippery downhills. Might have got a bit cocky. Should have taken a photo of that.

I have no idea why that is upside down
I will not be going anywhere else on my TR650 any more, since I just sold it. Thank to everyone on this forum, since it was of great help.
For reference, on my bit of DIY: This Strada came with the Terra front fender, but it was instable passed 115kmh, so I put a the Strada fender too and chopped at home the Terra one. The end result wasn't the finest, but it looks better, to me, than the regular strada and it doesn't have instability problems, it now cruises comfortably at 140kmh. I know quite a few of the Stradas were sold in Belgium with the Terra fender, so I hope it helps.
The windshiled is a Puig designed to fit a Honda 750C that I picked used and trimmed the space for the light. Of course, being that tall, it made a huge difference.
Lights in the handlebar=bad idea. in the crash bar= good idea.
Sad to see her go, but I'm moving to a F800GT, better suited for the kind of riding I can do in Belgium. It was a great bike, hope you all have fun with yours.

A few years ago Coffee was in dire straits and in danger of losing his storage space. I agreed to purchase his TE250 and his TR650 Terra from him, even though I needed these bikes like I needed another hole in my head. Eric loves my 650 and so we decided to keep it. I'm glad we did. Check out the license plates...Coffee and I bought our Terra's from Dan and Ann Blum at MotoXotica on the same day, and our plates were 1 digit apart. Mine is the thrashed one on the right...
