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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!
Hey RE...how much vinyl did you go through wrapping the TR? I ordered 48"x24" and am now wondering if it will be enough. I will only be doing all of the white plastics (headlight, rear sides, and front fender) as well as the fork guards.
Last year when I crossed the golden gate on my K1600, I needed cash and fumbled a bit. This year I was prepared, had the cash ready to pull from my map pocket on the tank bag. Turns out they've gone 100% electronic, and if you don't have a transponder they just take a photo and ID your plate. Well, the bill came today, and when I went to pay it online I grabbed the picture they took. Thought it was pretty cool, not the typical empty bike view you get in my photos.

Hey! It's worth it to not pay in advance so that you can get a cool photo
I'd try it, too, but I am on FasTrak so I wouldn't get a cool photo, only a debit to my account
Wish I'd known you were going to be in the Bay Area, I live in Oakland and would have loved to meet you and take you on a ride in our hills. There is some beautiful stuff here...surprising for being in a major urban area...and it's only 5 minutes or so from downtown. Did you get to experience the joy of going over the Bay Bridge while here? That's my daily commute, and it's a split-fest each and every day![]()
I have a suspicion i passed you coming off hwy 1 shoreline intersection just prior to 101 and GGB. Only other Terra i've yet to see on the road round here. The bags give it away!Hey! It's worth it to not pay in advance so that you can get a cool photo

Because you live in the land down under....Not sure why it keeps putting the last pic upside down?
