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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Had another customer ride that was again interesting, greatly due to customer. I'm not big on giving out info on theses guys for whatever reason but this guy had a few points of interest and made the ride.

Maybe you are aware of the greatness the web today that allows so much info to be shared but also of the misuses, propaganda, and down-right lies so many use it for. Too bad all the negative stuff cannot be contained and pointed into a single area for all the people who apparently need this type of negativity for their lives to be complete can go and stay allowing the rest of us to progress into the future. That yahoo site is not much more than a dumber-down site now.

This customer fellow, at age 24, moved to India on his own and got a job with one of the largest car companies of the world today. Next he moved on to China...He had to learn Chinese for this job. I told him those qualifications were too high for me.

I'm sure his words are as true as possible about a couple countries he lived in:

First, he said the part of India he was in looked very much like the Philippines. Rolling big hills with big valleys in-between. He had a few more comments that favored the Philippines but I'll leave them. I'll just say you are not gonna beat the people and their, daily attitude here.

Next, China... He said it is very hard to trail ride in the area he was in ... 1) No bikes of any size to ride, and 2), the GOV there did not like dirt bikes. Riding across the countryside was very restrictive. I would have never guessed this. I always like getting a true report on ground conditions around the world. Yahoo just does not get the job done here.

"It's amazing". These were the first words out of his mouth after he rode my 2010 TC250 about 30 minutes. I just agreeded with him. I know these ~2007-to present bike are outstanding. This guy not a big time rider, but had road a 350cc orange bike and guess what? He said the Husky pulled better than that 350 off the bottom and felt better over all. Forgive me for posting another PRO Husqvarna dirt bike opinion. But we are on a Husqvarna site? Anything else just might be rude.

When I was testing software in Redmond, Wa, we always wanted unbiased, new users opinion, on our software. That's what this guy was. I certainly enjoyed talking with him on many subjects.

We ended up on the northern tip of the island at this small resort in the middle of nowhere. It was just another great dirt bike ride.

We street rode some heading north.

I'll upload some files as soon as whatever is blocking my system from uploading files, passes.
 
I really like getting to take pics of more than 1 Husky..

Did some street stuff. Temps were down due to no direct sunshine and that made the ride much more enjoyable.

That's the national hiway here that loops the entire island. 2010 TC250 sits behind the badas% 2t 250cc Husky. Buy UR new bikes...add parts as needed. But if you have a true rider behind you, riding any model of these 2t Huskies, don't worry about looking back;he'll be right on ur tail, start to finish of any ride.

The resort. One of the weird things here, is these really nice and somewhat inexpensive resorts, just popup out of nowhere, in places you would never think would have such a modern type establishment. Most all will have a large wall around them for safety and it feels really secure once inside. The web is how to find these places. Most owned by foreigners, but not always. This place was owned by a local guy.

Resort theme in the background... These guys here always have a twist you might not expect.

Husky meets T-rex.

No water but still a cool fountain.

Front desk and checkin place... Open-air design is used very often about anytime you are out of the cities ...

This is a row of dwarf coconut trees. Not sure on that color of a young coconut but these type trees do not live as long as the taller trees and will bear fruit at at height almost all can reach.

Not sure if this is even legal in the states, but here, this will get a big laugh and 100% acceptable. Same as all the baby breast feeding I see here regularly. Its part of society here and no crying about it.
