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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

So I traded my 2014 SM'd TE511 for the TR650 Terra...

Hello all,
After putting only a few (commuting) miles on my beloved TE511, I decided I needed more bike and traded it in for a brand new 2014 Terra! It's away in storage now for the winter but I absolutely cannot wait to start riding it! Looking forward to learning and sharing experiences with the terra here. Thanks all for the great and informative advice. :banana:
 
You are going to love riding it. My Redheaded Mistress is in the process of getting farkled out right now.

Thanks Charlie! My only experience riding it was a few laps around a parking lot at a dealership. Another kind fellow pulled up on one and we started chatting about how I was originally going to get the Terra first and then decided on the TE. He just said, "here man, try it out". I didn't go passed 2nd gear and already I fell in love!:love: What are you getting done on your bike? If you don't mind my asking...

Hey Chris,
Got it from Bob at Central Jersey Cycles in Eatontown. He used to be located in New Egypt. He had a bunch of TE's,WR's and TXC's, 2 Terras, and various used KTM's mainly dirt bikes. No Stradas.
How do you like your strada? I'm curious now to ride one because I've yet to see one in the flesh.

I like the Strada. I put a 15 tooth counter sprocket on it, and that woke it up quite a bit. I have a PowerCommander and autotune that's not installed at the moment. (had some issues early on, so i put a wukka king on the bike for the time being) I might put the PCV back on, or i may sell it. I have been thinking of getting an FZ-09, in which case I'm not sure if i'll keep the Strada or not. We'll see in the spring.

I was looking at the FZ-09 as well but I wanted something different so I chose the terra. I'm also coming from an '03 Speed Triple so I kinda know what 3 cyl already feels like. Besides I'd probably get into a bit of trouble with a bike like the FZ-09 which is partly why I sold the Triple.
