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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Pics of your 610!

Nice clean bike. Neighborhood and houses look like typical USA but where can you license a kei truck here?

_

Southern Ontario... Canadaland, center of the Universe.

Looks like you could have towed the truck home behind the bike :D

The truck actually has about 10-15hp less than the bike!

Got the bike plated today, took it for a couple hour ride, wow is it awesome, took it down some gravel roads, and a trip down the highway.

I'm coming from a DRZ400SM, and before that a KLX250SF... I've ridden several other bikes for test rides, but the 610 nails it, just need to get one of the extinct Lynx fairings.

After waiting for two weeks( thanks Husky USA, NOT ) for some rear spokes we got to go out again today.

Went through 5 1/2 gallons of gas today.

After a close friend of mine spent a good part of the last couple years telling me how I should get myself a Super Moto, I found the exact one I was looking for 2006 SM 610. Picked her up a couple of weeks ago.


I decided with winter well on its way here in Oregon, and the fact that I want to go do some trail riding soon, I wanted to get some knobbies for it. Another buddy, just happened to have some laying around and freebies are almost always good so I put them on yesterday. These tires bring back memories of playing around with the old "Fat Cat" dirt bikes back when I was a kid.



So Today I decided I may as well go see how these knobbies handle the asphalt and the dirt so I took the Thumper out for a couple hundred mile "test ride".



I must admit, I'm extremely happy with both the on and off road handling of these tires and look forward to more adventures with the Thumper.
