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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Stoplights in the rain

Spent 3 hours on the Strada today, when I left forecast was 30% chance of rain. 5 minutes later it started raining, didn't stop until I got home. Most of my ride was more rural / freeway, but a bit in town. Noticed at stop lights that in addition to having to deal with the typical fogging, the rain falling on the radiator at longer lights results in steam rising right were you don't want it. Fender coverage was good, no other issues.
 
Me thinks this will be a common theme on these bikes. They tend to run hot, well, least mine does. Sounds like your's is that way too. Temps haven't been too hot of late, but even today, shortly after exiting the freeway. Sitting at stop lights, by the time i hit 3 in a row, that tell tale bar below the speedo readout starts a climbing. 2 units and the fan kicks in, seems to stabalize at that for now. Got me a little sweaty first time round. So i could easily visualize is reswembling an oriental dry cleaners in decent down pour!
