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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

I'm not going to be on my Strada, but will be on my FJR and riding the Iron Butt Rally starting Monday morning. That's an 11 day - 11,000 mile competitive scavenger hunt of about 100 riders taking off from Pittsburgh. They have GPS tracking of riders and a Daily Report for those wanting to follow along.

I have some background and setup information on my blog.

Maybe I'll ride my Strada in the next one. ;)
 
Nice one! There are 3 Australians taking part in the IBR this year (well, 4 including 1 pillion). I know all these guys so I'll be following the IBR to see how they travel along this year. Good luck to you Ignaciob, I'll keep and eye out for your name in the reports too. I guess we won't be hearing from you for 11 days !
 
Final standings see ignaciob 5th place. Only 67 of the 98 or so bikes started completed the rally. One rider completed 13,380 miles in the 11 days.
Here's a neat time lapse youtube of the spot tracks of the rally competitors
