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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Yeah, I forgot: toilet paper, hatchet, chain lube, extra gloves, spare tube, couple straps, maps. :) Admittedly, it looks like a lot of stuff but what do you leave behind? What doesn't meet the eye probably - I carry a far more complete tool/repair/first aid collection than most - it's a bit of a curse - and usually it's a buddy's bike that breaks - but my trip isn't messed up for lack of something simple to get the show moving again.

The XC would be a great bike to make the whole run on but could possibly be too much bike for my 135lb ass to handle in a couple places though (Top of the World, Hatcher Pass, Haul Road, etc). I've got something a little unusual in mind. I want to burn the 7000 miles to Whitehorse and back in comfort on the Wing - unload the Husky and do 3000 miles in the Yukon/Alaska where it excels. Still early in planning/consideration stage, could happen Sept '15, Sept '16, or maybe never...

This is a magical photo, Gold carries a polar dog!:cheers:
 
No, just got it! Found it by chance and couldn't resist. Bought it unseen and here it is being delivered. A good day!

New to the Husky scene and glad swm have rehashed this model, really a very nice bike.

when every I see a pic of a 630 without the large stock exhaust can's, it almost convinces me to drop the big $$$$ on an FMF. Just look so much lighter and leaner.

Like this pic.

Dinosaur monument - CO or NV?
Ping me next time you do this...happy to join you. My poor husky mostly sits in the garage. :cry:

That's a D606 if I'm not mistaken...I have finally resolved to always run the same thing. <shrug>
 
Does that say 11,295' feet on that sign? :eek:

We're only at about 1400' here in Phoenix. I can't image what that feels like.

I'm used to it. I ski at 13k :-)
That's where the EFI on the 630 shines. On another pass, we had to climb a steep rocky hill (not part of the BDR)
A couple of buddies had issues because their carbureted bikes didn't run very well. That's when I realized how much of a tractor the 630 is!
And super versatile. The following week I did the Moose run A-loop. (Somewhat technical single track)
 
Got back Sunday from 4 weeks/12,000 miles to Alaska. Was blessed w/ beautiful weather, spectacular scenery, no illness/accidents/mechanicals!

Northbound on the Dalton Hwy. Covered the 1000 miles in 2 1/2 days, bike was flawless.
