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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!

I've come back from my trip to Kaokoland in Namibia (Africa). My mate and I started together - me on Tenere and him on TE630 (both my bikes) as he has sum total of 20 days on a bike in his life so he needed any advantage he could get. Unfortunately on day 4 he went down on Tenere at about 100 kph (it was easy gravel road and he wanted to try Tenere), which ended the trip for him and Tenere. I have then finished it on the Husky. Enjoy:
Here is my mate in Puros:
At Epupa Falls on Kunene river - Angola on the other side of the river:
Van Zyl Pass - going down to Marienfluss:
Otjinhugwa at the top of the Marienfluss valey - again Angola on the other side:
At the community campsite in Otjinhungwa:
At the metropolis of Orupembe - Shop 1 is open 24h!
Below Puros with giraffe at the background - there was whole family but they were very shy and run away:
An elephant at the Huarusib river - I was shit scared of them as I was riding in the dry river bed where they live and they are very aggressive towards bikes - I guess its the noise that gets them. I had one scary encounter so I kept my riding momentum in the sand whenever I encountered them and did not stop for perfect pictures. This will have to do:

No, they are the Expedition Pannierz from Andy Strapz in Australia. I had one pair for a while and they hold up very well and I was amazed how well one fared in the Tenere fall - the Tenere went down on it at about 100 kph on a gravel road and the only damage to speak off was one little hole about half a centimetre square at the bottom of the pannier and one of the plastic clips cracked and therefore unusable.
Yes it was very hot. And yes, he is noob, but he was fully aware of the risks, accepted them and out of those 20 days on a bike, about 18 were with me in Southern Africa, including trips through Lesotho and the sand monster in Mozambique - and he is very good mountain bike rider, so he was doing actually very well. Which served him well in the fall if I may say so because though he was quite bruised, he has ridden away from the accident - although on the other bike, while I limped the Tenere to the destination.Cool - or probably very HOT!Big call to take a noob to NAMibia.
I forgot how big that Safari tank is. If ever you are selling the Husky or want to rid yourself of the Lynx fairing please give me a shout.
I will hold on the TE630 as long as it will last me - sorry. The Lynx front (the white cover) however needs to be replaced after this trip - I was riding the bike quite hard (also on my prior trips through Lesotho) and the bottom screw got loose and before I caught it the screw and vibrations has chewed through the bottom part of the cover and destroyed it - therefore the green strap around the bottom of the fairing, which was holding it in place for the rest of the trip.

I thought about something very similar, I was sitting there holding an H1 projector in my hand, and I decided to go with the aux 2000 lumen LEDs in the side pods instead, mostly because if I fubar'd the headlight, I didn't want to have to wait on a new one.

That thing is ridiculous!

This headlight is a PITA to open... It's not like normal butyl scellant, it's a permaseal system. You have to use a dremel for cutting the edge to open it...
But they worth the money!! The output on the road was often more with one beam that other car with two beam lol!

This is my SMS 630. I love it. Just got the 42 tooth Sproket instaled. I did almost everything you can do to this bike, got the EHS universal filter, gutted the cans, it has the JD tuner installed under the seat, PU kit, Iridium spark plugs... and some paint... Finally, A perfect Motard, in my opinion.
