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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Got my new Husky backpack yesterday from Hall's (last one he had). You guys were right, this thing is really nice. Heading to a supermoto rally in a few weeks in western NC, so this will come in handy.
 
Mine after 4 1/2 months of commuting/light off-roading and not carrying anything heavy/over-loading it:

I've treated several backpacks much worse that have lasted much longer than this one. Shame.
 
Bought 2 - one for myself, one for my HS freshman son to use a book bag. His disintegrated in less than a month and I accused him of abusing it - until 1) mine fell apart just hanging in my gear closet with 10-15 lbs of gear in it; and 2) I picked his new book bag up and realized he had 35 lbs of books and stuff in there.

They are pretty - just not well made, like all Ogio equipment - all flash, no go.
 
I stumbled across one at Upstate Cycles in Greenville, picked it up just because it was his last one not knowing when I would find another. Maybe the new gear will be better, BMW gear is usually pretty high quality, my lovely bride has been selling the stuff at BMW Daytona for 10+ years.
 
Are these made by Ogio?

I have an Ogio 9800(I think - the biggest they made then) gear bag that I've had for 5 yrs now. It's held up like granite & I overstuff it all the time and use it alot.

As far as backpacks go, the Zacspeeds are the toughest & best out there IMO.
 
I lost a zipper pull on my first ride. Not huge but a pain in the butt. I also lost one side of the waist buckle. The end of the strap that's folded over and sewn isn't thick enough to keep the buckle from sliding off. Sux.
