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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

A shallow ride - LiLoAn Riders 2014

Riding with the LiLoAn riders again ... The rides I put here are usually over towards the middle of the island and I refer to these as deep rides and rides such as this one, I refer to as shallow as most of this stuff is only a few miles away from the coast line ...

Here's what we rode through on the first few videos below ...Running the valley between those small hills and then up and over one and out the back side and into the larger stuff on the west side. Most cases when we roll down into a valley means we'll have a climb to get back out. That's always the high point to me ...

The land mass in the upper right is LapuLapu(Mactan) with Cebu City to its far right.



That is ~fairly steep climb out of that small valley but these pics are so flat looking .. Maybe we do need new cameras technology to how add depth or something to pics.

Here's some of the GPS data ... 760' was about the tallest hill and you can see we had 3 climbs of that size ...

This is just random pics along the way of the ride ...

On the 2010 TC250 Reklused bike ... None of this stuff today was overly difficult where I'd need to let the clutch do the work ... With that said, I did stink up one of the climbs pretty bad.

That's the trail we just came down.

We ended up heading on the trail to the right of my bike ... Can't see it but the trail goes to each side of my bike and straight ahead also.

I've been wondering what a green colored bike would look like here in this jungle looking growth ...
100_2821_result.JPG
Foreground is a yamaha 175cc with a new IRC 18" knobby and in the background, a yamaha frame with a china-made Loncin 125cc engine.


Here's one of the local pipe makers ...

Another 175cc bike I think ...This one has a working oil-pump... Not really a fan of that tank and seat style ...I'll take the style above.

I think this one is a 200cc bike.. Single-sided radiator model. Not really down with this seat or tank... linage style is ? 100_2793_result.JPG
