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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Riding in the Seattle Area ?

How far do you have to go to get some decent riding around Seattle ? I am in Redmond and looking at a Husky for play

One hour away is the closest. Absolutely zip in King County because you are an evil offroad motorcyclist.

North near mt vernon is Walker Valley. East is Cle Elum area with many fine trails like Taneum. South to Olympia at Capital. Southwest is Belfair near Bremerton.
 
If you do go north to Walker Valley, you should stop over at Taskys Metric Cycle in Everett and see Jeff, the owner and local Husky dealer ...He knows Walker valley very well and I'd suggest to go ride with him there as a guide ...Its a very big spread out riding area ... gnarly to say the least ...

Capital forrest in the Olympia area has a place called Rock Candy ... Not my ideal riding place ...Rocks and red dirt \ mud ... quads ...

Belfair can be a good place ..Another big riding area ... Can be packed with riders on some days ..Watch out for the head on collisions ...

GPNF is way south of Seattle but if you have extended riding time ( 2 days or more) , go there but it is snowed in till mid July or so ...

What bike are you thinking of buying?
 
Jeff gave me a hat once for going on a ride with him ...

After a little more thought on the Redmond area ... Traffic there sucks heading south outta there on I5 or it did for the 12 yrs or so I lived there ... I recommend moving to Randle, WA ..:) ... Just ~5 miles to the GPNF entry ...

eing at Walker

I used to go rideing at walker when I was in High School and one day we stoped and asked some guys with a Dozer making a Parking Lot what they were doing. They said that they were setting up a ORV Park and we had to ask "what is that?" Now that I have dated myself I find that when I ride there after 25 years absence I don't know where anything is anymore. We used to ride the powerline road from Lake Mcmury just to get there. Someplace in the ORV park there was a Railroad Tressel that spaned a Valley buried in the Trees. Do You know how to get to it today?

The tressel fell down years ago.
