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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Out and About (Terra, Strada)

A quick escape between bands of rain. About 50mi, mostly no rain, but wet and leaves everywhere. This is rainy season riding in Oregon at it's best, you just go for it and sometimes it's good, sometimes it's not. Today it was great, two rainbows, actual sunshine for the first time in a few days, three deer, and a bunch of trick or treating kids.

We will have to hook up next summer for a rip. Maybe we can have a 650 gathering ha ha ha
 
Tried out the Nuda and the Strada today for short runs. Not as frisky as my 630 and MUCH heavier feeling. In the dealer´s showroom they looked very BMW. Anyone with a 610 or a 630 would be well advised to hold on to (and take good care of) what they´ve got as there´s no more coming in that direction. Wish they´d make a good, light and durable 450cc (or thereabouts) that could be powered up by the customer after market.

How dare you bring this negative tr650 talk to my happy tr650 ( PHOTO ) page:(
10 lashings for you....
 
Organ donor, you're right. The 630 was designed to be a dirt bike. The Terra is designed to be more of an adventure bike. Husky really emphasized that this wasn't a Dual Sport bike, it's a Dual Purpose bike. Much more in the adventure class, while still making the adventure class fun again. I took one up Ortega Highway out here in So Cal and it handled the twisties very well. Although I think that I could have taken it through the desert woops, I don't think I would have had very much fun (that's what my TE is for). So I guess what I'm getting at is, the 630 and the 650 were designed to be different.

Sorry, didn't mean to hijack....now back to roscotom's regularly scheduled program.
