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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Low tide ride

My gf finally got a day without OT, so off we went to a beach I found one day riding for a late afternoon swim... but it was low tide! I had no clue on tides till this day other than the water goes in & out ...

No swimming but I did get a little riding in ... I'm thinking I'll be reading the tide reports and doing a little more of this type riding along the coast in the future :banana:

I should add the 08 TXC250 was alot better than the rider ... :) ... I gotta step it up on the sand ....

yes...I'm afraid the salt water might be bad for it so I came home and washed the bike off after I parked it ... oiled it some and used some wd40 on it also ...

If they carry a product at any of the boating centers there called Salt-X, you should try some of that.
 
Salt water and aluminum :eek:. Bad bad bad. :eek: Been there, done that. :cry: Wash that think off thoroughly top to bottom.
 
Yep and it is very hard to find any products here to help neutralize salt ...not that it ain't here..just hard to find ... I'll probably stay more on the beach side till I can find something other than soap and water to clean the bike afterwards ...
 
Still, it did look very appealing Ray. I would have had a blat as well. Thanks for sharing Mate.
 
Hey Ray
I love how all the villagers are standing on the banks, looking at you like “what in the world is that ?”
How much of an oddity are you over there ? :lol:

:thumbsup:
 
Foreigners here are an oddity to begin with and you couple that with the fact I'm a 'rider' on a 'big' bike riding it in the low tide area of the pacific ocean, you become the circus that came to town... They are very PRO bikes, love any racing, any bike move is a crowd favorite, and honestly, they are just looking for entertainment \ a good time... This was my first time there so they we really checking me out ...

We do trail \ mountain rides and the kids are usually jumping up and down at the 'riders' passing through their barangay \ village ... Just like the old wild west days in america... riders coming though :) ... get outta the road \ path ! ... its too cool really ...
