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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Eric and I spent New Year's Eve day out at Hollister. It's always good to end the year on the bike, and we were celebrating Eric's birthday, too. The place was a zoo, as expected, but we spent the day on Troll and all its various single-track off-shoots. Consequently, we didn't see another soul all day :D We pretty much had it all to ourselves. Conditions were epic...unlike my photos. Look what I found! :eek:

After a full day of riding we headed over to our campspot at Mercey Hot Springs and soaked til 2010 was nothing but a distant and very hazy memory...

We started 2011 off with a soak and then stopped off at the gate to the Panoche Hills on our way home. Panoche Hills is a nice tract of BLM land with questionable status as far as street-legal bikes go. It's ok for 4x4's and trucks, and the sheepherders ride quads, but according to our friend Rick Cooper at the BLM it is closed to street-legal motorcycles. How can this be legal??

There's a new information kiosk listing motorized trails/roads...

The old kiosk with the "No Motorcycles" sign is lying in a heap on the ground...

There is no OHV allowed there, but if you have a plated bike there are some really pretty dirt/gravel roads with beautiful views.


Not a bad way to end one year and begin another :cheers:

Here's wishing a very happy and prosperous New Year to all my Husky friends! :thumbsup:

Thanks for mentioning Giant Loop bags. :applause: The owner, Dave Wachs, is a friend of mine. He is a great guy. He rides more than anyone I know. Everyday I'm sure of it. Giant Loop is growing rapidly thanks to riders and posters just like you.

Tell all your friends about Giant Loop.

Hollister

That's some good looking dirt and trail. When i lived in Morgan Hill i remember exploring down around Hollister and south to Pinnacles Mon. Its a pretty area in the green of spring. There is a BLM area down there that is a large abandoned asbestos mine. The soil is litterally white, loose asbestos in places. It was weird to see people ripping around in asbestos dust. Some jeepers wore paper masks, others not. I decided to get out of there.
 
ooo- howd i miss this one. first few pics are a DB Disneyland...that was epic!!!

im moving.

and who tagged the sign with coffee's colors!? lol.
