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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Nice little mid week ride in Norfolk.

And what a cracking day it was to.
Met up with me mate Richard in Kings Lynn then we headed off from there.

First lanes had like hail come snow on them. Actually made them a bit slippy even though it was only a sprinkle.

Dunno what this is about but it was in the middle of nowhere.

Richard was all excited here because there were some bumps in the ground (He's a Fen lad, he's not used to anything that isnt flat). Some could be confused and actually call it a hill :lol:

Being proper and all that we decided to do lunch in Huntstanton. They even let us sit in the Caf even though we were plastered in mud :D

Then all went wrong. :shock: Riding up a little lane and my bike gets right squirmy. I put it down to the ice on the road but when i go to avoid a car coming the other way my bike gets all out of shape,

The white foam stuff is a 10 quid can of sealant and inflating stuff that Richard had got from a garage a couple of miles on :shock: 10 bloody quid and all it does is prove my inner tube is knackered.
To top it off it snowed like hell while we were there :lol:

I hadnt got a clue where we were but eventually we decided it would be best to get to the garage where Richard had just been. I rode my bike there, rather good fun :shock: As luck would have it i found out the village that we got to, where the garage was was just happened to be right across the road from some people i know.
Cut a long story short Richard had to ride home and i got a lift home in a nice warm Volvo 4x4 (Father in Law came to pick me up :D ) and left my bike there.
Cracking day whatever, i even avoided having my usual fag breaks up until my innertube decided to pull itself apart. :shock: :D
 
Some great pictures there mate.:thumbsup:

Roughly how many miles do you figured you guys put on.

To bad about the flat. I carry irons and some patches just in case. Oh ya and a small bicycle hand pump that fits in my tool pouch.:D

A lot of guys that run knobbies. Run the MASI Maxxcross Radial tire works pretty good even when flat. (Strong sidewalls)
I'm still in love with the Kenda K270 for the back. You can't run them flat though. And must patch them when you have a leak.

Ha, yeah we had all the gear apart from an innertube:D
We had a repair kit though but it was useless due to the tube being ripped. No damage to tyre or anything so im assuming i hit something hard at speed to do that. Weird because i usually run my tyres a bit harder than most to stop that kind of thing happening.
