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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Out and About (Terra, Strada)

Great shot Hansi! What kind of box do you have on the back there? I am looking for a tail trunk and that looks to be a good size.
 
A rainy cold day on GA Old Highway 2

We came across a rather strange cemetary

We ended the day with some cider or ''sparkling wine'' as Ga brew law is strange.

Went for a 'culvert run' today to try and catch a Barramundi or two. You can get them off the side of the road at this time of year, when the creeks are flooded after the monsoon. Unfortunately no Barra today, but a nice ride, nonetheless.

This creek was under quarantine to stop the spread of a noxious weed. Don't know how casting a lure is going to spread anything, but anyway....

This one was too deep to cross.

The termite mounds get pretty big around here.

It's beautiful country in the wet season. Horrible in the buildup before it rains though. 35C and 90% humidity.
 
Nothing as exotic as your photos Chuffa (they are great by the way). But I got out near my home here in Arkansas (USA) yesterday. It was a warm winter day here 60* F (15.5C). Today/tonight it is 8*f (-14.40) go figure. Anyway here is a short video from yesterday. The Terra ate up the terrain. Love this thing.

 
Great stuff Charlie. I rode through Northern AR/Southern MO a few years ago briefly and it's one area of the USA I'd love to get back to on a bike.
 
Chuffa, that's beautiful terrain. Terra looks good all mudded up, and a good shot of the B&B plate w/ extension.


Morton, a couple hours is better than none. What town is that?

That's Bergen, Norway, my home town. Pretty nice on a good day.
 
I hosted an Aus fella when he came through here three years ago. Thought it might have been you. He rode a Vstrom too.
 
Today felt more like a cold spring day then the winter day it should have been. Sun was shining, temps were flirting with 10C. An ideal day for a little ride into the Ardennes.

The plan for the day was to have a nice little ride on the Terras and grab some pancakes in Durbuy. A small town in the Ardennes that advertises itself as "the smallest town with city rights in the world". It is actually a very nice place with lots of medieval buildings and tourist traps around every corner. In summer the place is swarming with tourists, but on a cold February day it is pretty calm and pleasant.

They even have special parking spots for motorbikes, in view of the many restaurants on the town square.

The riding round these parts is pretty nice as well.
