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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Mostly weekend rides revisiting the Canadian Rocky's and some of the larger rivers and lakes we have in the interior of BC. Come summer Banff Jasper Revelstoke are all day trips.
I'm not into hwy rides much...mostly back road stuff.
:cheers:

We host the Banff Film Festival tour each year. Based on the pictures I have seen it is high on my list of places to take my TR650 some day. Please post pics of your adventures, it sounds like you have a great summer planned.

This weekend, only 100 miles of bombing around town. Did breakfast at Alice's, and got wet on the way there. The ride back via hwy 84 and then up the coast was well worth it. As soon as the snow melts i will be transporting my bike from San Francisco to my cabin in the Sierras, where at least 300 miles of forest and dirt trails beckon. Yosemite, Cherry Lake, Angels Camp, and all kinds of other attraction are going to be explored.

I love skyline and 84 La Honda home of Randy Mamola. Something about riding thru redwoods it even smells right!

Mildly curious as to how far and where you might be taking your new found joy...

For instance, anyone touring California?

The shop where I purchased my Strada have what they call an adventure ride every third Sunday of the month. They are rated at different levels so a new rider wouldn't be getting in over his head.
Usually rides are 60/40 split between dirt and street. I haven't been on one yet as I just got my bike two weeks ago but am looking forward to it. I will miss the ride May 19th for a planned fishing trip
but look forward to my first ride. Cycle specilaties out of Modesto Ca is my local shop.

I get mine tomorrow and weather permitting I think we are bound for the Blue Ridge Parkway.

The BRP is a perfect road for a bike like the Terra. It will eat up all the bends and round up sportsbikes on the tighter stuff.
 
I'm picking my Terra up this morning from Big D's in Woodland Park, CO. I'm so excited about finally swinging a leg over it I can't see straight. Plan to tally up a few hundred miles this weekend just getting to know her. Tick, tick, tick, just waiting for 8am for the doors to open.
 
Possibly this fall I'm planning to go round my country... It's so beautiful - woods, mountains, lakes, sea, gravel, patchy pavement, small old churches of all beliefs, horses...

Just a glimpse for you - a film and photos made by fellow ADV Rider around here.

Commuting for now with my Strada. Definitely going to be buying a set of spokes for off-road excursions and 2014 my friend and I are planning the Utah Back-country Discovery Route (UTBDR). Did the WABDR on an XR650R and tried the Oregon version on a V-Strom, but the cast wheels were DEFINITELY not up to the challenge. Friend just ordered a F800GS and that will be a fine bike for him, but I'm going to enjoy blowing his doors off with the Husky. ;)
 
Logged 1000+ miles in two days on a ride to Connecticut. Had a few mechanical issues ( overheating, spraying fuel due to a crimped vent line--not good for the instrument cluster plastic, and then no starting/dying at idle), but got here. Called two dealers here to look at the bike and neither one would even see me. One claimed they didn't know how to use their MOSS tool, the other said they were "too overwhelmed with other jobs". Both said parts were unavailable for at least a week, maybe more. Fortunately, I pulled the starter and knocked it around a bit and got it working again, and did a "10 minute tune up" which cleared up the dying at idle. Planning to ride home in a few days... Wish me luck :)
 
Bike did 600+ miles today with no major issues. It stalled two or three times, but was a champ otherwise. Hopefully the guys at Eurosport can sort things out when I get home.
