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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Tecate to Cabo in Dec. -- Interested?

Army. Young kids with machine guns in hummers. There was always a couple older guys giving instructions to the younger ones. I'm guessing we were little more than a training exercise for them. At no time did I feel threatened or concerned.
 
We will only find Army out in the bush. As pointed out, hummers are Army, always, in Mex.

And Army is good.

There is also 'the federales' and that is worth understanding.

They where just folded into a new organization, PF--after disbanding the PFP. Its a long story. Anway--in places like Mexicali, TJ, La Paz, or on the highways in Baja--its usually the PF. They always drive Dodge Rams or similar vehicles, and carry various HK assault rifles (although ive not seen a MP5 yet, :))

Anyway--the old, corrupt Federales system has been largely replaced.
There are still federal highway police who sit around eating donuts, and of course corrupt local city cops.

For more about the new PF read this:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Preventive_Police

Just FYI.


great to read you felt so safe from Tecate to SF. :thumbsup:
 
Racer 5?!!! I'm in!! (assuming there is room)

I'm an infrequent rider, but I'm a frequent beer drinker and good friends with Mike (and Scott, Mr. Guzzi (too bad about the Moto Melee, Scott -- leave Saturday, still time!!!)).

Most any form of transport to Cabo has to beat bouncing around in the bed of Mike's Toyota 4x4 truck, which was my last position for a good portion on our last trip to Cabo (in December 1997, on our way to Belize ... and back -- great trip!).

whoo hoo! Ed

I think we are there. Guys coming from all over the place. Right now we have 14 riders. I figure 2-3 will back out in the coming months. So we are good.

New name:

1st annual....

Husky "Trip to the Tip"

Im gonna wait till after the dealers meeting to officially announce it. :thumbsup:
 
Ok, well we should get the dates/times solidified and the sooner we get plane tickets, the cheaper. I can't wait!

If you've still got room you can count me in as well. I'd been planning on riding down to visit my uncle in Buena Vista this winter anyway.

Depending on the number of people and route, I'd bet he wouldn't mind if we swung by for a BBQ/pool party/refresher. Helluva nice place to relax for a spell, right on the beach. Old satellite photo, doesn't show pool and jacuzzi. ;) Otherwise, I'll just detour after we get to Cabo.
