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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

610 in Colorado

I have a GasGas 300 that is my primary trail bike. I bought the 610 for my Dualsport bike, but when my oldest boy (who is currently bikeless) decided to accompany us to Colorado on my yearly trip it meant he would be on my 300 and I on the 610. We rode all our usual stuff around Taylor Park and Crested Butte for a week, while not ridden at my usual pace, the 610 nonetheless gobble it all up without a complaint.

Water crossings had me a bit concerned with the air intake on the right side as low as it is. But it handled up to 2 1/2 feet of water pretty easily.




Tight singletrack wasn't nearly as tough as I had originally feared.






Mud on the other hand was quite a hand full, that's where the weight of the bike really reared it's ugly head.


Great trip and great bike.


And the FI worked flawlessly from 5,000 feet to 13,000 feet.
 
Nice !! Water crossing always make me nervous because if you do go down it's hard to get it back up. It's definitely not
ideal for tight s/t but they do surprising handle it pretty well. Switchbacks can be a little tricky with the wide turn radius
but you can always hop off and nudge the rear wheel with your hip which I've had to do many times. Nice pics. :thumbsup:
