• 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 haven't run my bike for a week so this morning as I walked by I just stabbed at the button. Purring after 1/2 revolution. I am actually impressed with the battery as it hasn't had a real charging/running in a couple of months and still spins it cold effortlessly.
 
PS, I want to ride so bad I can taste it. Watching riding vids just doesn't do it. It is going to be a very long spring until late June when I can theoretically ride again.
 
Were still lookin at about 6" of snow on the ground... will be away for the next couple days working & it supposed to be warm. Hoping I come home to minimal snow so I can get out for a ride or 2 this week. First scramble is this weekend, not 100% sure im going to make it yet but im gonna try.

If there is a good year to be layed up it is this year. We are at 110% of normal snow pack in the mountains. It will be June before most of it is rideable anyway. Some of my favorite areas will be snowed in until July.

Yeah, but look at the pay off, where you live!

Beats, looking at cornfields and soybean fields. Nothing here to stop the wind.

This prob gonna be another year where it rains every weekend.
 
Make a trip down to NC...been living down here near Charlotte for years. I have a place in the Uwharrie Natl Forest and the trails open up next Friday. Looks like temps will be in the 70's.

Sitting here doing the taxes, looking out at corn and soybean fields, but we still have some woods and hedgerows left. The best riding close by(Big creek gullies running to lake) is all off limits now. City folk are buying up everything close to the lake. Only a few more miles to where it gets nice and hilly though, with lots of cool creeks, gullies, off cambers and steep uphills and downhills.
My neighbor's soybean stubble fields, make great grass track practice though!
 
Rode the orange version of this bike this past weekend. Good god what a machine! I'm thinking of selling my Beta and picking up a TE150 next year. I can't get over how much fun that bike was to ride. A little too tall for me, but once I got going it wasn't much of an issue.

Taxes are depressing enough!

It's unfortunate that all of our play land is getting squeezed.
 
For us it is all about the USFS local supervisor being on a 20 year personal crusade to eliminate 2 wheel traffic on public land. She has support from the enviro Nazi's and the local tree huggers but they are outnumbered 10 to 1 by the locals not that we matter. The local 2 wheel crowd both motorized and non-motorized have finally joined together to file a lawsuit against her and her rulings. Not holding my breath and will just continue to ride where I have always ridden once I can ride again.

My favorite riding area in Idaho currently has 140% of normal snow pack. Those 10,000+' passes won't be open until late July/August. Can't wait to get the TE150 up there to see how it does in the thin air. I am sure it will be fine now that it has the RK Tek head. Probably would be a bit soft off the pipe otherwise.
 
We have the great fortune of BC (lower California) Mexico. Plus we know many land owners down south. miles and miles of trails and dirt roads (and paved if you need them) to ride. From high speed San Felipe whoops to the most hardcore Tecate zone extreme enduro stuff, a few short miles away with friendly local populace that wave when you ride by and businesses that are grateful for your patronage.
And yes we do have US side stuff as well, but it has its restrictions.

sorry for derailing the 150 thread I just jumped onto the conversation curve about riding areas..

Ha! No worries! We go sideways all the time......

That makes these threads have character.

Wonder if anyone has started on a dirt bike ( Non Plated) down by Baja and ride one all the way to Maine?

Be interesting to know how long it would take?

Prob get some good Enchiladas down by Robert! Good steak up by Walt! I know I could get a few Genesee Light beers out of Norm and Joe!
 
My buddy junyah rode his wr250r from here in New Hampshire all the way to Buenos Aires.
He did not go directly there either. Clocked around 31000 miles. His bike is sitting in Uruguay now while he is here saving money to go back and keep riding.
Here is a link to his trip blog.

So not quite Maine, about 70 miles short, and not quite Baja.
But as close as I know of!
