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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

How much do you ride?

I chose my TT name "Ride" because that's what I do, it's my crack. I ride a lot, like every chance I get. With the the TE/SM 610 and my TXC450 I have ridden more this year than ever. Did 280 miles Sunday/Monday. Been getting after it 2-3 times a week. Just wondering how much people on here ride their fine Italian / German machines???

I try and ride to work if I can't ride on the week end. Hate to be a "slaber" but, if thats all there is at the time I'll take it.
 
Ideally given the geographical restraints 2x a month. I definitely need to ride more than I have been lately.

Of course it would be great to live closer to off road riding areas and have more time, "product testing for work" would be ideal :D

Oh, that wasn't nice! :p

I've been riding three to four times a week since our season started in early April. My husband broke his ankle last week and now doesn't want me riding alone, so I've been cut off and am already experiencing withdrawls.:( Do any of you listen to your wives?????:mad: Anyone want to come to northern Michigan for a trail ride??

Hope hubby heals up quickly, Northern MI sounds tempting until my memories of mosquitoes kicks in, it is a bit far too. Upper peninsula?
 
I try and get in 2 days (one weekend) a month if I can. I'd love more but usually kid's sports takes up most of my weekends.
 
2-3 hours offroad a week for the past 3+ years. Started riding Dec. 04. Not quite like crack, but close, if I'm not riding 'em I'm maintaining 'em.

Aw come on Coffee, we don't have no stinkin' mosquitoes! Actually we're right below the bridge - the UP folks call us Trolls.

Here are the maps for the trails near us. We live about a 1/4 from the c loop, so when I can ride :mad: I just leave from our driveway.

Sounds like a great place to live. I spent 1/2 my life in MI and used to know it quite well.


Thank you very much!

I get a full day in every Monday with a group I coerced into riding together on TT, and ride about once every other week with the wife. I wish I could get two full days a week in, but I'll take what I can get. Oh yeah, I also have a Bandit 1250 that I ride to work at least three days a week (every day lately).

I ride my EXC far more than the TE. Does that count? I'm in the woods 3-5 times a week (about 10 hours) after work and weekends turning laps on my loop for practice. Been getting 1 to 2 big weekend event rides out on the 610 per month, with a few commutes and dual-sporty rides in here and there when I can.
 
Husky (commuter) is ridden every day it's not raining and at least 2 times a month (night ride with the boys) which adds up to about 800 miles a month. The Honda is ridden once or twice a month for 6-8 hours which adds up to about 200 or so miles. So I ride about a combined 1000 miles a month. :D Twice a year we take a Maine trip and ride 3 6-14 hour days (around 150 - 200 miles per day):D
 
My miles are measured by smiles…

​
Weekdays; 40 miles daily commute to work…
After hours and weekends varies but always there and always FUN:cool:
The 610smie is proving to be a blast
It’s even a joy just to look at, sitting in the garage
:D:D:D
 
Ive been riding every weekend since i bought the husky, minimum 6-8 hours a day. Just went and built a new trail tonight to ride this weekend....:D:D:D
 
Not as much as would like to lately. Although I have managed to put about 3000 miles on her in a year.Sadly, over half of it has been on pavement.:(
 
Ride you are siiiick****************************************an addict you need help,,,,,,,,we should all come up to your zone and help you get through the trails************************************************************************************************************************
once a week lately for me,,,usually about 50 miles per ride....the TXC rocks, R (still on oem suspension)

:mad:Hey !!!
Us are people too !

(You must do with what you have, not everybody have good mountains in their back yard…
Funny that a small company with a U after the H has recognized it, yet a big company with an O after the H has not…)

SM(i)EE to the (vertically challenged) people !
