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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Looks like the 30th March/ 1+2. April at this stage, coming down from QLD/Fraser Island/ Bunya Mountains etc, zigzagging the Great Divide back to about Albury over a fortnight.
Might even stick around the area for a couple of days or so.
Would like to catch up with Keith and his Rail Yard again (AUS Rail Museum, out the back of Dorrigo)
Will be with a bigger group (10 or so), incl. at least a couple of TR's, quite possibly more.

excellent ,i'll write on my planner!
 
I love it Charlie. That's fantastic country all right. On my first US trip I determined AR/MO to have the best riding of the 20 states I rode through.
 
Thanks Nev, much appreciated. I feel kinda lucky having landed here in Arkansas. I am over educated and sometimes a little challenged by the red neck mentality here but still, I love it, I love the people and I have made the best friends here that I have in my life. Win-Win for me.

Just finished my 2400 mile Baja California trip 2 days ago. The Terra was flawless, it's the perfect bike for Baja roads, both paved and dirt. I was stoked that I was able to pre-ride a section of the upcoming Baja 1000 course. Even with temps consistently in the 90's I had no bike issues and the engine burned all of 1/8 inch of oil on the dipstick. Other than 2 flats all went well. It will be a couple weeks before I can download the pictures from my phone and put together a ride report.
 
My buddy Lee and I left Portland Oregon on 30 September riding 2 brand new Terra's. We rode down PCH to San Fransisco to visit friends before hopping over the Sierras to Alabama hills then rode through Death Valley to Joshua Tree. We had the oil changed and the coolant burped at Malcolm Smith's before heading over to Tucson to visit the man behind Wukkaking, the perfect solution to the TR fuelling problems. Then we headed South, our destination is Patagonia. We crossed Mexico in 12 days and are now in Guatemala enjoying a few days in Spanish school before we head for El Salvador. The bikes have almost 8000km on the clock and the OEM Metzelers are about to be replaced with Conti TKCs. You can follow our progress here [url="http://www.southwithhuskies.com or follow us on Facebook but don't expect daily updates, we are all about riding the bikes first and foremost. Phil Barnes.

Be safe and I look forward to following your journey.
 
I've been setting up my bike for this ride. It's been a lot of work, because it was stock when I bought it. But (other than the cast wheels), I think it's good to go...

The Strada does not have spark arrestors.
Its considered a street bike.
It is clearly called out that they expect you to have them.
You might want to see if they will cut you some slack on that since it is stock.

I'm not going to bring it up.
When people are making lists of the differences between the Terra and Strada, I've never seen silencer mentioned. But, I just checked the parts fiche, and you were right.
I think the fact that it's stock will not draw any unwanted attention.
