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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

High probability of moving to San Diego

My employer is trying to relocate me to sunny SOCAL in July of this year. I know there are gobs of riding areas nearby and look forward to doing some riding IF I make it there.

I have a WR300 and CR144, race VetB in the VA HS series and like racing the National Enduro formats also. My plan is to get a nonresident sticker so I can ride and play it by ear after that. I see the H&H and D37 stuff, how do these races work? Are they all "bomb" run formats with loops? I have a 89 CR500 also, I'm wondering if it would be worth it to bring that also....any advice on that?

Am I missing some other racing that goes on the in the area? I'm not much on MX, but can ride it.

Also, does anyone know what areas will be best suited for me to live? I'll be working on MCAS Miramar and will have both bikes with a 7X14 enclosed trailer. Looking for cheap and clean, studio apartment or spare room type setups. And somewhere to store my trailer and bikes, would prefer storing it the same place I'm living if anyone knows someplace specific.
 
District 38 is the SD local district, so they have some desert races out Imperial desert way. There's a lot of motocross racing going on, with nearby tracks like Pala, Cahuilla Creek, Elsinore, Barona Oaks to name a few. Not quite so much in the way of enduros. Open riding is at Ocotillo Wells, Corral Canyon, McCain Valley and a modest amount of other spots. A fair amount of dualsport between SD and Riverside county.
 
GL,
PM you'll fit well with our well connected, every weekend, dog bringing, moto riding, merry band of single track and ugly terrain, swear by 2 strokes and swear by 4 strokes B-AA rider kooks. RN
 
Thanks for the info, hopefully I can sell my 300 before coming out there. I'll stick with my 144 for whatever I need to do offroad and most likely pick up a DS or ADV style bike once/if I get out there. I'm not to excited about this move since I will be leaving my family in VA. I had planned on retiring in Dec 14, but this will push me into mid/late 15 with the move. It is what it is, and I will try to make the most of it by riding as much as I possibly can.
 
Also might want to leave the snow blower behind too. Good luck with the move.
 
Looks like the 300 will not be coming with me, but my 14 year old daughter will be. Lord help me......
 
Shoot I lived in San Diego in 73 for a while in El Cajon. Loved it. The family I stayed with were Navy. What a nice town, great beaches and Baja just down the road.
Did some dirt riding in the Hills near El Cajon -great gnarly fun but pretty barren.
 
does the 14 yo ride? both mine (17 and 20 yo girls) ride as well as members of our crews kids as well (from 4yo-24).
We mostly do the selfish big boys gettaway rides on our quick runs to the hills.
But some weekends the whole family crews come out too, last weekend we all went to ocotillo wells but that is a once in big while trip we are not dez folks.
So you knowthere is plenty of family support here among the crew. We have the TE310, XR100,XR80 in the stable.
 
Cool. My daughter loves riding/racing and is truly the only one excited about the move. She has a KTM 85 (for sale now) and a CR 144, and she thinks she is getting a four stroke when we move lol. My big concern is the quality of schools in the area, seems like Scripps ranch is decent high school.
 
That is correct, we both have 144's.

This is her throwing down at a couple of last seasons race. Yes, I'm proud of her and like posting pics.

That's my plan, I'm hoping to sell the other three before moving. I know space is a premium in commiefornia, especially places with garages. I have shoulder surgery in a couple weeks and hope to be able to ride by Aug/Sep, I won't be race pace riding, but at least I'll be back on a bike.

The Commie line of debarcation is somewhere around the San Luis Obispo area - with the exception of Los Angeles of course (we keep trying to give LA to San Fran but even they don't want it).

If you go inland you can get more bang for your buck and still not be too far from work.

Wow! You admit to living in the "Cajon Zone"?

Ha, ha....lived there too. Dad was a teacher there.
 
If you ride street San Diego has lots of good stuff too! I have been trying to get my boy into riding but he keeps growing too fast!

I would love to pick up another DS bike when I get there. A SM would be cool to. I loved slab riding when I was in NC, but after moving to NOVA and having too many close calls, I decided to stick with dirt only.
