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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Hi....it's me again....still. Yep, I've been riding plenty, trails, street and dualsport. I don't get to do any of this stuff during the week anymore, since I work pretty much full time these days. But on the weekends....off I go!
I went up to Heart Bar in the San Bernardino mountains last weekend. Actually, I go up there a lot during the warmer part of the year. It's like a second home to me (okay...really a first home, if I could only figure out how to be able to live up there!). So, I went up yesterday and did a little hundred mile ride on the the TE 450. Stopped in Fawnskin for a nice lunch and chatted with both tourists and a local about riding dirt bikes. I felt like a minor celebrity, as well as an ambassador for motorcycling in general.:rolleyes:
I got back to the staging area around five in the afternoon, thoroughly worn out and happy.
This morning, I went out to wash the bike and warm it up. Turns out that I was literally two throttle pulls away from a snapped cable! Guess I can be thankful. The cable lasted 10 years, and it didn't break in the middle of the ride. There also wasn't anything strange feeling about the operation of the throttle that would have caused any concern about its condition.








 
Ahhh, great to have you back on Deck DD. Looks like prime riding country up in those hills. Loved my 06 450, never missed a beat and oodles of poke.
You were very fortunate with the throttle. It could have been a real pain 20 clicks into the bush.
Looking forward to your next installment.
Cheers and Thank you
