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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Another weekend, another dirt trip.....oh no, no dirt....MUD

Call me crazy but I didn't think the stock tires were that bad. I got almost 10K out of the set and could have gotten more out of the front. I replaced them with Shinko 700's and am satisfied. Hopefully they'll hold up well. FYI There is likely a separate thread on this topic.
 

Hola Fer,
por cuestión de economía llevo detrás los Karoo 130/80-17 y delante los TKC80. El caso es que los ofertaba una tienda de aqui porque oban a caducar y me costaron 26 euros cada uno
Hello,
i have rear Karoo 130/80-17 and in front TKC80. I buyed those because it ws a special offer of a local shop, those were stock tyres very very cheap, 26 eur each one
 
Spent a weekend with 24 other liked-minded bikers. Traveling through the Carrizo Plain in Southern California:

Hola Santi, los Karoo y los Tkc son demasiado endureros.. no?. yo busco trialeros pero que agarren mas en curva asfalto y duren un poco mas. En la HOnda se me iba el de atrás en 13.000km y el de delante en 22.000km y siempre ue agarre en curvas. El Metzeler de stock se va de delante y se desgasta formidable. parece que la gma es demasiado blanda y desliza delante mucho.. voy a probar esos Trailwing en la TR a ver que pasa y ya os digo.

hello santi.. in my opinión Stock Metzeler front tyre is to soft and slide much in tarmac curves...and expire in 15.000km , so rear tyre does... I am going to prove
trailwing 302 by brigestone to see what is the performance. i will tell you the mileage..

I just booked some tickets on the overnight car train to Austria. The plan is to make the most of our 3 week holiday, riding through Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia, Serbia, Kosovo, Albania and Montenegro. We had a great time there last year, but there's a lot more still to see and this time we'll both be on a Terra, opening up a lot more off-road possibilities.

He posted the link above as the topic was discussed there. The metalic rack for the top panier was never produced. Those of us who purchased the panniers didn't receive the top rack.

I might do that Dane. I also hope to hook up with Stovebolt (inmate on ADV and good friend) for some catch up time. He owes me a beer or eight.

Awesome. I conned my friend here into buying a DR650 as well so there are a couple of us ready to ride out here! Additionally I just met up with Berg (man behind BR Moto) at his shop and picked up a new tail rack. Lots of riders here who know the local terrain!

I realize that English is not likely your first language and I don't speak Spanish. I apologize if I seem harsh. First, this is the wrong thread to post about luggage. The correct one has been listed above. Second, as we have tried to get you to understand they never made the top rack for either kit. Yes I know you have a part number for the item above and I know you see where parts A & B in Kit 8539598 are included but again they are not. These items were never produced. You have to purchase an aftermarket rack and there are several other threads that discuss this topic.

Good luck finding something that works. I'm leaning toward the Nomad top rack myself.
 
Just some local running while we had some warm weather. We ran into these women out in the woods. I was a a liltle scared when they pulled out the Glocks and whisky. The last one is Monday after I received my package from Italy.IMG_20140201_142734_971.jpg IMG_20140201_173843_049.jpg IMG_20140201_172258_937.jpg IMG_20140203_193219_066.jpg
