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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Who likes to ride in the nasty winter weather?

Do you like to ride in the rain and snow?

Being a SoCal boy it's an absolute novelty to ride in a snow-storm but I've had the chance a couple of times. What I can't figure out is how you stay upright in the single-track when you can't see the ruts! I've never been so exhausted from fighting the bike (and gravity):eek:

PT,
Those snowstorm shots are from anza, it was pleasant and partly cloudy in temecula that day with ripping blizzard up at anza that settled down by the time the race started-a real SoCal snowstorm and yes it was sunny down in San Diego that day.
 
XCR's, dual pane goggle's, Cold Pro's...bring it. p/s- need a new line on studded tires please...somehow my old ones didn't make the move up here...dang it! 004.JPG
 
Last year , road 30 weekend Sundays in a row from fall thru spring. Run trelleborg tires when the ground freeze hard. Love it
We ride lots and lots of rainy muddy trails all year round here in Western Pa. ( Pittsburgh ).

Mud & Snow

 
AAHHHH winter rides :banana:
I am really looking forward to that

last weekend is probably the last of the mud and rain we've seen here for the next 4 months

3x 2 stroke riders and the only 4 stroke rider took a picture

lets say that we all are happy 2 stroke riders wondering why we ever road this type of bike in the past :confused:

(nothing wrong with a XR 400 but its a simple example of evolution to move on :D )

The first time I took my 449 on anything more than a local putt I had some snow to ride in.

Riding in a snowstorm is not something I would do on purpose, but in a nice rain the traction is just plain better around here.
