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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

125 + Chainsaw + 33 switchbacks in 4 miles = FUN!

I finally decided to try the chainsaw mount on my 125, my WR250f has been my dedicated chainsaw bike for years. It works very well for that so I have not messed with what works. I wanted to get some seat time on the 125 so I decided to mount up the setup I let buddies borrow with my small saw and quick mount that goes on with 4 hose clamps. It worked very well, I was really happy. I still cant believe how well it worked... These bikes never cease to amaze me. Also with the lectron I used just at 1.75 gallons in 52 miles, almost 30mpg! That rules, pushing 4 stroke territory there.

The early morning clouds were really cool.

Mt Ranier was creating its own weather

Our largest tree for the day this one was elevated about 3 feet and about 36" across it was a bit scary to cut.

This trail doesn't get ridden much, at times it is hard to find.

We could have stayed home and watched some sporting event on tv, but missed them all for stuff like this

We even stopped for a swim in one of the nice lakes later in the day

Saw some small rocks

Some had trees growing out of them

Another cool lake at the end of the day

And then we rode right under the waterfall where the water left the lake

All in all we hit 5 lakes in 52 miles, not a tough way to spend the day.


Here is the video from that one trail yesterday, it is a long video for a very short trail. This 4 miles took us 28 minutes of riding based on the video. Clearing the trail as we went it took a little over 2 hours.

Later,
 
Beautiful photos, and looks like a awesome area to ride. Who needs a tv when you have places like that to look at!
 
Beautiful country! Thanks for posting. Great way to carry the saw, I used carry one years ago in a paper boys sack.

Scott took me there last weekend. I had no idea that that little slice of singletrack heaven is only 40 minutes from my garage. Thanks SO much for sharing it with him/us. Fabulous.
