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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

I gotta do some riding in Italy. I love being a tourist there but doing some riding in the high country there looks brilliant.

Ciao Ciao
 
Just back from a trip to Moab, Utah. 630 continues to perform perfectly at 12,500 miles... :)

Trail ride late November. Kind of unusual to ride that late in Colorado.

Another spot without too much snow

Most of the ride looked like this. A new Heidenau works surprisingly well on snow and ice. Maybe even better than the motocross tires my riding buddies were using.

I'm heading there next season to do the BDR. Might have lean on your experience for the planning on the trip.
 
Great shots MJ. The bike looks well sorted. Pray tell what you have mounted on/over your headlight surround-looks interesting.

It is a number plate bag. Kind of an impulse buy from a local store.

You don't want to put heavy stuff in it as it isn't that rigidly attached so it will bounce a bit when going over rough terrain.
And shaking tools all day long will pop the seams. For tools I found this to work very well:
I have a Wolfman rack in the back. Since I had converted to a one muffler system I had a lot of room on the right. So I mounted a tool box on the inside of the rack.
It clears the rear tire.

mjskier - what/where/whose racks do you have fitted, please?


They are Wolfman racks (not available anymore) I bought the bike used a couple of years ago and the previous owner threw them in and a set of Wolfman dry expedition bags to sweeten the deal.

I sold the bags since I found them to be too small for my use and bought a set of Mosko Moto 35L paniers instead.

Looks like the image attachment is broken. Here's a link with the Mosko Moto on
