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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

2010 TE450, used with 22 miles finally goes for a ride

A little cold today in Central Texas but I finally got a nagging problem fixed with a bike that was manufactured in September of 2009 and I bought it used in November of this year, with 22 miles on it. Don't want to get into specifics about the problem that I solved, it's in another thread and I don't want to confuse anybody, so.....I took a ride out to Cow Creek, northwest of Austin, TX. A nice twisty paved road, I could practice my sumo/hooligan skills on and only endanger the cows. The road has maybe 12 or so cattle guards that I learned today they upgraded, smoothed 'em out, I was hoping for some real gnarly ones, to test my suspension settings. I still got some air on a few of them. I have less than 100 miles on this bike so I'm still getting used to it AND I was testing to see if I had fixed the problem, which it appears I had, went 60 miles on 1.5 gals, got 40 mpg, just a little high-revvin' action, not too much. Anyway, after a week of worry and thinkin' I made a mistake buyin' this bike, I am happy to say now, "Damn, this TE450 hauls!" :applause:

Beautiful lakes...and the bike looks pretty good too.

Glad to hear you're getting it sorted out. My dealer says gas just keeps getting worse and is causing more and more problems. The small amount of gas they put in at the factory is very special and shouldn't be a problem so this must have gotten some local brew put in it.
