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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

i spent Memorial Day getting to know the Sierra trails. This is by Twain Harte, CA, not too far from the entrance to Yosemite. The trails in the Stanislaus National Forest are incredible and they were totally empty, even over the holiday weekend! I have traversed packed dirt, loose gravel, narrow sandy trails, and even found some streams to ford. I did two 3 hour stints, and I barely covered 3N08 and 3N07, using the paved section of 3N01 to access it (Just off the 108 highway in Long barn). I need to learn how to read the forest service maps, but I had a lot of fun. I even managed not to fall off (waiting on my crash bars), despite some close calls in the loose stuff going uphill. The weather was simply perfect.

My only worry is the fact that I do not have a riding buddy, and that there was no cell service. It meant that I was more conservative. Falling and having to chew off my own arm did enter my conscience once, but I soon forgot about that sort of nonsense.

Some pics:

Narrow passage by a waterfall, had to keep the speed at around 25mph or less due to large rocks and deep ruts lurking in the shadows:

There was a barrel with lots of bullet holes behind this bend. I did not hang around too long.

I've moved the posts about the "Spot" to it's own thread.
This will help later on when we all run out and buy one and have questions.:D

:cheers:

Someone been shooting fish in a barrel? Maybe they could just learn to catch them the normal way. Nice shots, couple of friends over that way at the moment

How did she go compared to the knobbies on the bemmer?

My son could have been riding circles around me in the dirt. When we get some crash bars & Continental TKCs on the Strada it will just get worse.:lol:

Of course some of his speed is "foolishness of youth".

Sorry about the 1-photo-per-post thing but I don't have the photos hosted anywhere yet.

You can select up to 4 photos at once to upload. click on one, hold the Command key (just left of the space key?) and highlight up to 3 more.
 
This is what I do. Highlight up to 4 images, and click open.

When they are all done uploading, "click Insert Every Image as full image"

Uh, thanks for the red arrows, Dean :lol:
That's exactly what I did in the first post and it didn't work as it should have. I've done it before but couldn't get it to cooperate today.

I edited the post you are referring to.

As far as I know, the only way to do what you initially did, was to upload 2 pics and press 'Save - without clicking on either "Insert every picture as... thumbnail" nor the "Insert every picture as... Full Image".

:thinking:
 
Dean, all you need is some RokStraps and a duffel bag for the back! Do it, man!

There are some awesome roads in between 101 and 5, too!
 
I went here today:

About 8500 feet. Mt Lemon Arizona.

Mt Lemon ride is a nice ride. Paved twisties up, then I took some other road for fun and ended up here. Pleasantly surprised again at how well this machine performs both on and off slab. My tank bag is on the way and I will then carry my good camera, instead of using the cell phone.

I picked up a trail book, and my next ride will be on some mining trails near the border, I think it is #12, but what that means to me is nothing at this time. I will pinpoint the coordinates and look it up on google earth or something.
