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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Here's what I carry...what do you?

I am going to be riding a lot of long distance, unsupported riding this season, so I decided to go through my vest and get everything cataloged and indexed to make sure I have all the tools and parts that I need on the trail. I will be riding from Cal City to Primm and back this weekend (425-475 mi round trip). The weekend after I am pre-running for the Baja 1000. T day weekend I will be out in Dove Springs. Early December I will be out in Cal City. And over New Years I will be riding to Cabo for the Husky Trip To The Tip!

Thought it would be good to post a few pictures, and my complete list of the items I carry with me. This is not EVERYTHING I carry as it varies from ride to ride, but this is a pretty complete list of what I have decided is necessary over the years.

What do you guys carry. Am I missing anything important?
 
Nice prep. :thumbsup:

Mine varies depending on where and who i am riding with but i usually do not carry that much stuff. Also, i like the puddy type JB weld, works much better on case holes etc and carries EZer.

Ya, I carry both.

The waterweld is the putty type in a stick and works on engine, radiators, or gas tank even if wet:

And the normal stuff that sets quicker is the JB Kwik:

If you're carring all that, from now on I'm going riding with you! :thumbsup:

Sure...just make sure you pack me a beer so when you break down you have something to get me to help you! :thumbsup:

Usually I only carry a credit card, cell phone and my AAA card, but I'm going to need to do better with this Rip Trip coming up.

One of my main concerns is the weight. I figure you got about 30lbs of stuff there.




BTW where are the vise grips?

I'll start to fix your bike...then break it some more just to drink the beer. :thumbsup: Pretty soon, I'll be breaking the bike while actually TRYING to fix it :busted:, and you'll have to carry me back! :lol:

On second thought, you probably shouldn't carry that!

Looks like a good bit of kit... I see one thing missing though



you forgot the kitchen sink......:lol::lol:


its good to be well prepared :cheers:
 
I carry about 15" of 3/4" heater hose with me(and a few xtra hose clamps.). It's the pink stuff that used to come on all GM cars- it's available at most auto parts stores etc., and cheap to buy. It works as a replacement for most rad hoses or, if a rad was totally smashed, I can bypass that rad. I got 2 guys out a jam with that stuff this year.

A lot of people were questioning my logic when I first started carrying it, but after getting a couple guys out of a bad situation due to broken hoses, many of those guys are now carrying it in their packs also.
 
if you are on a 610, I think you should have a clutch cable.

I'm interested to see how you carry all this stuff. My tool set is not quite as complete and it's mighty heavy and bulky. I like the moose quicksteel stuff instead of JB weld because it can't leak.

I'm on a TE450, so a clutch cable wouldn't help. Doesn't really matter much, since I just rode about 50 miles of the Baja 1000 without a clutch this last weekend. I broke the clutch perch off about 10 miles into pre-running a section. It's pretty easy to get going as long as you start the bike in neutral and are rolling down hill a bit before you drop it into 1st. Then just shift like normal! :thumbsup:

I carry all this stuff in the Ogio vest shown. It's a lot of weight on my body, but I HATE the fender packs because they fall off or tear open from all the bouncing around. I carry 2 types of JB weld, and the waterweld I carry is a putty that doesn't leak either. + I wrap the tubes of JB weld in duct tape to help protect it.
