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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

610TE in New Zealand - trip report

I spent January riding NZ's South Island on my 610TE 2008. Finally got round to uploading some pics. Because a crash midway through took a bit of recovery time, I didn't get to do the full month riding dirt, but what I did manage was glorious. Below are some bike shots:

Not bad for a campsite.

Another day adventuring! Tide coming in, chain broken, and miles from anywhere...

Wow! I would love to bring my 610 in a trip like that!! Someday maybe... Until then, thanks for allowing me and I'm sure a few others to live vicarious through you!

Best,

Thanks! Its probably much easier to rent a local DR650, and if I had a do-over I would probably go that route. Though I did enjoy having my own bike with my own settings etc.
