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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

You know how it is, you gotta carry a full toolkit with all the things coming loose..:p
Lost my stand on this ride, most probably the bolt snapped and after a while the whole assembly went for a ride in the woods. Oh well I had to get rid of that crappy stand anyway :D

I think he meant your license plate because it's so large.

Some military, cargo or some kind of tactical pants like cops or paramedics wear would work great for that!! All the pockets could hold tools, food, water, etc...

Yeah didn't realise it the 1st time :thumbsup:
Well, motard riders don't have the best fame around here, I always get stopped in police checkpoints, so keeping the "official/legal" license plate clean kinda helps making a good impression. It's pretty ugly, but oh well I'm a "if it's working don't mess with it guy" :p
 
Last trip...700 miles of dirt riding North Rim of Grand Canyon, camping off the bikes. Here is the route over Kanab Plateau heading to Fredonia for fuel and lunch. Many of the roads were high-speed dirt, running 55-60mph. Whoohoo!!

My bike spends more time than I'd have imagined close to those cars. Its kind of odd...though I have my hooligan moments (when it's safe...not in close proximity to cars or people) I'm usually just tooling about minding my biz and, to my surprise, I've been pulled over and checked out on the TE more than any other bike I've had (inc. sportbikes.) Usually a happy ending though...can't complain overall.

Only ever been pulled on the SMS once, and that was after a 100yd wheelie around the curve out of town in Townsend, TN.
I wasn't even speeding when I set it down. City ordnance ticket, $148, no points....

I've wondered what something like that may cost, though its got everything to do with which locality, mood of officer, etc., etc. Now granted I'm not pulling 100 yarders either. :) I'm central VA and, in my opinion over the years, police have become a little nit pickier here. The good/fair ones (and in all fairness all but two over the many years have been) usually can, I think, figure out pretty quickly that you're not a clueless, skill-less scofflaw...I've had some decent bike conversations with a few.

I'm from upstate SC, and I've never gotten a second look from a LEO here, other than the ovezealous parking enforcement downtown.
Could have something to do with the couple HP cars that have ended up in ditches when the idiot troopers red-misted trying to chase down bikes for doing ~20 over and they took off.

Was on the verge of buying a GiantLoop or NomadRider for my camping gear when I ran across this idea on ADV. $25pr of coveralls w/ arms removed/legs sewn/straps added = camp-in-a-bag. Tent in one leg. Jetboil, food, Helinox chair, Exped mat, axe in other leg. Sleeping bag across the top. Given what its carrying, very little effect on handling.

Nice idea and execution but the first heavy rain you encounter you'll be swearing at that bag. It will get soaked through and through and keep your backside and bottom hydrated for miles and days to come. Not what I would want on a long adventure ride but for a day trip not a biggie.
