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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

AJP in the house...

I can just imagine strolling into the DMV and trying to get it registered...

"AJP, uhhhh sir that doesn't show up on our system, ahh yes, well here's the problem...I see that they haven't been given the opportunity to bribe the folks in Suckramento yet. In fact, I have no idea how flexible you need to be in terms of grabbing your ankles, because the price you seem to have paid is far below the normal prices and we've gotta find a way to make up for that. Nope, can't help you...next please."

This one has 700 miles. Not sure about the first 570 but the last 130 was well thrashed :>) As i said the fit and finish are excellent. The hardware is all standardized, fits right and threads into the counterpart with the right solution. No non captive nuts to deal with, no assortment of odd sizes and tools. Really standard set of tools should get the job done. The build quality seems very high to me. Big threaded lugs to screw parts into where needed etc. The seat is slightly goofy to get on and off. Might get used to it and it is EZ, dunno. Subframe is very strong looking cross braced powder coated steel. Mostly what it does is hold the tank. The fit one the tank to subframe is perfect and car like in it refinement. I dont see much to worry about there. I big crash might disrupt it but its not flimsy in any way to my eye. Plastic is very nice. I believe they make all their own molds and have the plastic including the tank done local to them. So tight quality control and EZ changes there. Skid plate looks in house and is one of the nicer ones I have seen from anyone. Fits perfect, cool material and seems the right thickness weight / protection wise. Well thought out and put together machine.

Washington actually changed for the much better a few years ago. This bike here can be wheeled over to an authorized dealer of which there are many, signed of and then go get your plate. It has everything needed short of mirrors, blinkers (they are wired just not there) and the rear fender extender. I'm guessing this will have a plate before next summer starts.
 
unless there have been some changes that i dont know about a headlight tail light and horn [squeeze bulb type is fine] is all you need here:applause:
 
If the bike was Scott's demo bike, rode it in July. Thought it was a great bike, would make a great bike to trail ride.I am 6'1" 240 needs a little more power but most 250s do for me. Would like to see one in the 300-350 4 stroke.
 
Tidbits as I learn. It holds 1.8 quarts of oil which I like. More the better. The fork has externally adjustable preload. I have had this feature on several other Showa forks and after having it I thought all bikes should have this feature as it makes quite a difference. The forks are also black nitrate coated and use what looks like GG fork guards. The rocker arms are roller rockers with threaded adjusters. the motor looks to be internally counterbalanced. Now that I think about it is is extremely smooth.

Preload or rebound?

I'm pretty impressed with the ride report and the way the bike looks. I have to think that these bikes will sell very well where they are available. I'm interested to see how they hold up in the long run. By the looks of them they look pretty sturdy. I'm particularly interested in how the sub frame and other components around it hold up. :cheers:

We are looking at the AJP like it is a brand new bike, but most of the rest of the world has ben thrashing them for 27 years. Go look at some of the videos of the enduros they do in South America, they are not kind to the bikes. I am sure with input from US riders, they will be able to fine tune them even more.
A guy just finished second in the expert class in the Lagares Extreme Enduro on a PR4.

Correct. And really there is very little they "need". Pretty darn sorted as is. More so than most bikes. EFI works great out of the box, suspension is near perfect, very nice skid plate included, comes with high end tires. Slap some real handguards on and ride.

Well... You know we had a little conversation going on...
Never too late to make the right turn.

The more Kelly talks about these bikes, the more excited I am getting about my first shipment and I will figure a way to fit my 6'-3" body on one! Can't look any different than David Knight on a Sherco, except he can ride.
