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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Very nice DD-are they Metzler 360's-great tyre if so. Hope you have many great hours on her.

Yes. 360s. Nice pattern, but very stiff carcass for working through rocks, even with very low pressure settings.. I may have to switch out to something with more give.
 
Ok then DD consider the Michelin Star Cross 5's. I use the mid/hard ones. Fantastic tyre with excellent hook up except in really wet clay-then again what tyre would work well then.
I live in the Alps region of Victoria and the riding is hilly to steep in many places with a floor consisting of stones/rocks, loose ground, and leaf littered trails. The Michelin works very well here and is a softer walled trye then the Metzler. It is however a long lived tyre.
Good luck with your deliberations.

Those are what I like to use on my WRs. Very nice tires, but not DOT. I generally run an IRC Battle Rally or a Pirelli Scorpion mid/hard on the front of my plated bikes, and a Kenda Parker DT or IRC Battle Rally on the back.
