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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Did a lot more: 7421 km on 21 days! The Husky did awesome. I reached Santa Teresa to get to MacchuPicchu, got to the coast, crossed altitudes over 4740 masl, enjoyed 20000 u turns on the peruvian road. Chachapoyas, Cañon del Pato and Kuelap. More than 920 photos and lots of stories to tell. Very close to the border, I felt-down, aluminium panniers did something nice: they protected my foot!

Where's the emoticon for extreme jealousy?

Only a little overheating close to Lima and some screews missing. One of the best things: 100km/USgal!

Just a few shots from a day ride, about 500kms, around northern nsw. Doesn't look it but it was extremely windy and cold; down to 8 degrees in spots.

Looks like the Boonah Rd just out of Killarney. You're actually in Qld there, not NSW :P The border is a few metres on the south side of that road. A lovely part of the world. Roads made for motorcycles.

True, fantastic roads. quite technical in places, but the TR is the perfect bike for me for these kind of roads.

Though the road from Legume to Woodenbong is a bit like a paved motorcross track. wouldn't want to be on a road bike for that! the TR and the DR handled it no worries.

Sounds like a great trip. After seeing some photos from the Flinders Ranges my mate took on the APC rally last month, I will have to plan a trip out that way myself.
Is that a Ventura rack? Be wary of putting too much weight on that on bumpy surfaces. I've broken a few of those.

Around Tuscany (Italy) with my wife and my TR650 Terra
 
Tooling around in the Rockies, testing out my new tires :D

The last picture is an infinitesimally small taste of the massive flash flooding that happened in Colorado during the fall last year, 2013. Lots of rebuilding still to do.
