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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Hey Sharpie1, i love the colour format of your bike on the stand in your garage.

If i could get decals like that on my 610 i'd be happy... 'cept i cant find aftermarket decals anywhere :(

Dean,

Your friend with the SM610... what tires is he running and how does he like them?

The tires are Pirelli MT60's and she loves `em :thumbsup:

They are very sticky and feel like full-on rains on wet pavement. They excel in everything but mud. They don't hold an edge too well, so no serious berm-busting is gonna happen when running them, but they do what I want them to do on easy dual-sport stuff. They feel like sticky trials tires in the rocks and in stream crossings. They absolutely kick ass on the pavement after airing them up (I only run about 17-19psi off-road) but they disappear before your very eyes, so I only use them when I'm going to be off the pavement.

I'll probably post a ride report later today. It was my first ride since destroying my ankle over 3 months ago, so it won't be very exciting or anything, but at least you'll get better photos of the tires :)

Coffee rides again**************************************** woooohoooooo :thumbsup::applause::cheers:

Is the front trials tire new to you? What do you think? All my friends laugh at me at the staging area but then the laughing stops when all they see is the rear of my bike for the few seconds they can keep me in sight :doh:

Those are the same tires, suspension, and everything else that you rode last fall. :thumbsup:

Same lowered suspension too. Wondered why you were not putting your 2 cents in when people were asking about trials tires, lowering suspensions, suspension work people and all that.

I've been running front and back trials tires for 2 years. :cheers:
 
Our man Coffee is back on the trail again!!:applause::applause:
And fortunate enough to have Woods Chick as a riding partner.
Looks like everyone is healing up and hitting the dirt again.:applause:
 
getting some of the last rides and photos in before the snow flies up here in the upper midwest.

Well, I don't know how fortunate he was:) It was more like babysitting me on dirt roads than actual dirtriding, but we had a good time nonetheless:thumbsup:

I'm healed enough to ride easy stuff after moving my shifter up a few notches, but getting off and on the bike is still rather...ungraceful.

Beautiful stuff! Is that an Acerbis auxiliary number plate tank on your bike?

It was fun!

I'm not riding hard these days at all, and learned the trails/roads in the area much better... I keep getting confused at that water crossing that seems to divide Stony & the Upper Lake areas... someday I'll figure it out :thumbsup:

:cheers:

It’s good that you’re back, hope you had good time with Dean
Since both of you are recent casualties in the dirt war maybe you can call that report “gimpy ride …” :busted::lol:
Just kidding, you know I love you both :awww: :D

I’m at ease now; the knobby report can’t be too far away…
Welcome back Healedchick

:cheers:
