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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

This is the most hairball thing I've ever done with a dirtbike that I actually care about! I'm taking off on a 3000 mile road trip in my Toyota pick up truck with my 2015 501s attached to my trailer hitch receiver. I'm going to spend at least a week in the Colorado high country riding motorcycles, fishing, gold mining and shooting guns! It's going to be in adventure my uncle Randy is a fishing guide. We always catch a lot of huge fish. Now he's going to take me go bike riding and gold mining. Normally when I travel long distance but the motorcycles the trailer them This trip i'm trying to save some time on the interstate as my trailer gets a wiggle waggle going on much above about 67 miles an hour. Anyone got any feedback on these hitch haul type motorcycle carriers? IMG_1592.JPG
 
I have one that also tilts for easy bike loading. Mine is pretty heavy duty and works well. I have had no issues on long trips with it. It is a little unnerving when you look in the rear-view mirror and see your bike moving around when you go over bumps but you get used to it LOL! I also use a brace or "fork saver" between the front tire and the lower triple clamp so I can tie down the front of the bike more securely.
 
No problem, i use one on my Tacoma all the time. i agree that it is a bit unnerving watch it wobble a bit, but i haven't had any issues. One thing i have heard happen is that if you have a SUV or hatchback with a rear window add some foam or a rag to your grip so that if you hit the brakes hard your handle bar doesnt punch out your rear window.
 
Use mine in preference to a trailer if its just me going somewhere. Always been safe. Just make sure where the rack attaches to the tow bar it is very tight. I found when mine was new it loosened up a tad-just have a cresent ready.
