• 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 630!

We kept well-hydrated using camelbaks and popped an aspirin a day.
We also tried not to get in over our heads with the thin air. Worked for us.
 
At anything over about 6K feet I wake up in the middle of the night feeling like I'm suffocating. Lots of deep breaths and try to re-oxygenate. I don't recall camping over about 7K feet, but ridden to over 12 - didn't bother me on a day ride.
 
Pikes Peak summit made me feel pretty short of breath, but it was tolerable. We had a 40 year old man with Down Syndrome with us, and we thought he was going to pass out.
 
The problem arrises when you spend two or three days camped at 10,000+ not when just summitting a pass or peak for an hour or so.

I could totally see that happening, if we stayed the night. It was pretty interesting to experience; it was my first time that high.
 
Another video of 630 in Africa. In this one I'm riding in Kaokoland region of Namibia through the desert and riverbeds with some african wildlife.


I'm alway excited when I see a squirrel or a deer. But Damn your wildlife is so much more exciting. Elephants, giraffes....
Thanks for sharing. Love it !!!
 
This part of Germany´s got wild boars (lots of) that cross roads at night, forage around towns and don´t like bikes or bikers. Spent the last couple of days stamping down the furrows they root up overnight on the airfield grass runway & mending the chain link fences. And now they´ve re-introduced wolves!
 
We spent last week in Silverton, rode some with Mike (Fast1) and Dustin and got a four 630 group pic. Saw one more 630 as well. Riding in Moab this week.

From my ride on saturday shot at Mt Magnificent South Australia. Greener than normal due to lots of rain, as you can see here this stream was flowing out of some paddocks

 
Just to add a few more photos of the TE630 in its environment (Silverton / Moab). Looking forward to seeing Bob's GoPro results..


















We also camped along the White Rim Trail and Dustin tried to dry his clothes in the morning with a small glimmer of sun after we got drenched along the Colorado / Utah border riding to Moab from SIlverton.

 
did a 700k trip on Saturday & found a old gold mine in northern n.s.w
