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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Dealer Recommendations in/around Moab?

Hi Folks,

I'm heading out to Moab in about a week and wanted to know if anyone had recommendations for motorcycle dealers/shops (no Husky dealers listed that I could find) in the area. I don't plan on needing one, but just in case, if there is a shop that is recommeded above others (assuming there's more than one) I'd rather go there.

Thanks,

Dan
 
Great question. :)


Sadly we are not large enough to have regional sections/forums yet, although the Get togethers and ride reports might look like a regionally based forum, it isn't really.

I'll move it over to the main forum where it will get maximum exposure. :thumbsup:
 
You really would be lucky to find more than 1 bike shop there. And it won't be that hard to find. Just drive through the middle of town, I think it was just south of the main area.
 
Check with Fred at Arrowhead Motorsports.. And if you need some grub.. Favorite place for breakfast was Moab Diner.. And Mexican at La Hacienda..

Hint: If you have never been to Moab and you are not going with others that have been to Moab.. My serious suggestion is get a gps and learn the
basics of using it.. Even a cheapie so you can do a trackback.. A more deluxe model with maps will be even better.. Moab is one place I would never
ride without a gps (I did about 6 times before they were invented).. There are many rides there that have one way in (example Porcupine Rim).. And
only one way out.. Some have died trying to get un-lost (P.S. this is not a joke).. They can see the river and highway 1000 ft below.. But they have
no idea how to get off the cliff.. Another hint especially at this time of year.. Get Camelbak type product and not a small one either (3 liter minimum)
Moab is desert like and has almost no tree cover.. Other than that (if I haven't scared you).. Have a great time.. Cheers.. :cheers:
 
Thanks for the tips and business recommendations! Exactly what I was hoping to hear.

You scared me just a little :) But that's OK. Better prepared than hurt, or dead! I am riding with someone who's been there before (once) and we will both have GPS and Camelbak's.

dtyo,

You definitely need to stop in at Mad Bros shop and chat with the guys. They are extremely helpful and will give you all the latest news on where to go and when. They are south of town a mile or so on the east side of the hwy. We always go the last week of February and they are typically the only shop open.

This time of year you do need to take plenty of hydration. A gps with map is not a bad idea, but I don't think there is any "bad" riding there.
