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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Got the Husky out finally

After a top end rebuild, took the 450 out yesterday on my 20 mile loop. Some shots of one section.

Whats really scary is that I am 54 years old. I don't need to be going this fast. 5th gear in this section, my son thinks I'm touched. Ha Ha

It’s a bit eerie riding on a piece of asphalt that used to be a main HWY at one point, got moved and left for mother nature to claim back
Like one of those Discovery channel after the humans are gone shows

This turn had a nice banking to it and you can still see the yellow marking on the road

Picture077.jpg


Followed by a nice little third and forth gear, bouncing off of the rev limiter run in the fields
That magical floating felling of standing on the pegs, holding the bars and letting the bike dance underneath you
At one point I’ve just happen to look back and saw a young black bear that I’ve managed to scare out of the woods

That's a fine-looking piece of asphalt, not to mention the lovely machine :thumbsup:

I was doing a ride up on the north coast of CA deep in the Redwood Empire and realized that a section of quad-width trail used to be a paved road. It had a very faint line down the middle but was quickly being reclaimed by the forest. It was pretty cool!

Well , after looking at the two bikes side by side, I think I like the Husky better. I will admit, though, that I'm a little biased. That is some beautiful Scandinavian scenery, btw. :thumbsup:

Thanks for the compliment Woodsy and that’s a cool story :thumbsup:
It is quite fascinating how quickly nature says; yeah whatever, get the hell out o’here :eek:

Thanks Sir-bear
And no, too flat for Hawaii
It’s funny how you say island and immediately those pesky Hawaiians jump and claim it like they have some kindda monopoly on that word :lol:
Not sure how it is on your side but on the right side there’re many habitable islands all the way from the Island of Newfoundland to Key West
Anyways I’m somewhere in the middle :D

:thumbsup:
 
If I can find those pieces i'm gonna buy em. Something breaks just about every time I ride, just the small unkept things from previous owner. Pretty soon it'll all be new. :applause:
 
I too have just joined the forum and I tought I'd share a few pics of my WR 250 on the isle of man.

2010 TE 310 - Australian Import

This was in stock form from brand new - with the exception of the bash plate which is seen in the photo. I added frame guards, heat shields, bark busters and radiator guards.
