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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Bob,

Nice photos of Moab and the White Rim trail . Looks like your crew had some nice weather the second week of your trip. Wish I could have stayed another week. Right now I'm contemplating riding the COBDR and UTBDR next year, similar to what BigDog has currently started a ride report about on ADV.


Feef,
Where can one find one of those trick looking rear sub-frame mounted fuel tanks??

AFAIK, it was made specially for the bike by the previous owner. Two of them did the Merzouga on TE630s and got the tanks made up as part of the rally prep. I can ask him when I see him next (in a couple of weeks). If nothing else, I might see if there's a CAD file or something. It adds another 8 litres or so to the fuel capacity, and is baffled to help stop it upsetting the balance by sloshing around.

Thanks, we were blessed with perfect weather in Moab. I think we're going to do the "Forever West" loop over two weeks in Sept '14, you should consider it. Funny, I ran into Big Dog/Dingweeds/HighFive? at Ophir Pass, talked for 1/2hr probably. Dingweeds just bought a ranch 15mi S of LaSal (on the UTBDR) and is turning it into an ADV stopover. Working on making a dvd of the trip pics right now, I'll get you a copy of the ones you're in.

You really need Arrow exhaust pipes


They would be a bit lighter, but no slip-ons are going to flow better than what I've already got on there... :thumbsup: I did think about shortening the cans ~4" and anodizing the cases black.
Wouldn't mind the weight savings and the ECU, but it's not worth $1200 to me....

Also, should have some more good pics soon, spent wed/thurs around the Gap.

From a little dirt yesterday off of 215 / Explorer rd. Stanimal's in there somewhere too.

I've done some research on this ride and will certainly keep it in consideration. Work schedule will be a big determinant next summer for me.
 
Few more videos of 630 in Africa. This time riding from Epupa Falls through Van Zyl's pass to Otjinhungwa in Marienfluss. These are the first two parts of the day - part 1 covers start from Epupa to the last village before the Van Zyl pass, part 2 covers the pass itself.
