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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

I purchased the bike about 6 weeks ago and its the beez kneez love it and havent fallin off yet, not sure if its going to hurt when i do ........!
 
Being the motor weighs about as much as you, yeah, it's probable going to hurt when you fall off.

Good luck and be careful. :thumbsup:
 
Thanks fellas i do think i should have gone with a 250 however will just have to persist
and stay on more open trails for a while, the thought of the 450 seemed like the way to go when i purchased it, having the extra power the bike would do it all with ease and
last for a good length of time.

You'll get used to it. I'm 48kg and riding a 610, which is no featherweight. I've found the best scenario is to have more than one bike, but if you can only have one, the bigger bike is probably the way to go. I haven't dropped mine yet, but my plan is if (when!) I do to not try and save it, because I certainly don't want it falling on me. And, I prefer not to ride the 610 alone, because there's no way I could pick it up myself.
 
They are a well planted bike and track well. Clearly you will have a get off at some stage but the bikes size is only a small part of the equation. Pick your lines well and stand as much as possible-it gives you leverage to change direction more easily. The power is there for when you want it. Maybe get a slower responding throttle cam that will tame the beast a tad.
