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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Pics of your 610!

Nice pics Stu. No need for a kickstand out in the dunes.:lol:
I see you've got a MotoZ on the rear. Desert HT ? I really like the
MZ's. I've been running the Tracula's all winter and it's been really good
for wet, muddy terrain. I'll probably be ordering another Desert HT for
the summer months. I bet you see a lot of bikes with MZ's down under
being that they're an Australian company. :thumbsup:

The Tractionator HT was brilliant in the dry but suffered in the wet. Might have well had a rally raid on it. I will take your advice and go a Traculator now that its starting to rain. I have had a Maxis Desert IT on for the last 1000ks and its been great & reversable!! Traculator next!

Heres one of the Masters Games Enduro a couple of weeks ago. (yes i'm an old bastard!)

Hey all,

Just pick this '09 610SM last weekend. Haven't even got to take it on a proper ride yet.

This bike is alot taller than my lowered DRZ. I'm going to get the seat shaved next week.

This bike has a story. This used to be my dad's bike. He sold it in 2005 when he got sick and was no longer able to ride. I think he was always a bit nervous about riding the 610's. He was a 410 kind of guy. He bought the bike and never rode it. It sat in the garage for almost 2 years. The guy he sold it to was a super nice guy. I happen to run into him about a month ago and he asked me if I wanted to buy the bike back. So I did. He never rode it. Said he just couldn't get into the bike but he is in the market for a new one. Here she is with only 1,500 kilometers on it.

That's cool. What's just as cool as that story is the fact that it's a 2003. 2003's weren't sold in the US so only a handful of them got imported (by special order only). To top it off, you even have the larger tank...which again, was not a standard item for any US bike. If I didn't know better I'd say you stole my bike :p

And to top it all off, I bought my bike last year with only 600km on it :D

I few fuzzy shots in the garage at work with the Blackberry camera. Currently set up in street mode with Shinko 700 tires, X2 headlight, MrEdsMoto seat, 666 peg relocators, BMP case guard, Uptite engine guard. For the dirt I switch to Pirelli FIM Pro tires (DOT knobs)
 
Oregonsage, that seat looks very good. Did Mr. Ed have you sit on some putty or
something to get a mold of your posterior? :lol:

AweSome, those graphics on your SM are just that. Awesome ! :thumbsup:

No, he had me sit on the seat as he built it.

Very nice! :thumbsup: I'd be interested to know what tires you have and the sizes. I'm running Distanzia's, but those look more dirt worthy.

They look like IRC GP-1's or Kenda 270's...

Hey, is that a GiantLoop Bag thrown over a PMB rack with pannier protectors? How is that working out for you? I've been wanting to pull the trigger on the GL, but I don't know if it'll be big enough, and if it isn't I won't be able to use my doggy panniers with it.

I'll post a new thread on the bag and rack combo tomorrow! The tires are Kenda K270's; 5.10 on the back and 4.60 on the front.

Now that’s a pretty picture

Next time you can make it bigger, I don’t think they charge you extra for it :D
(Pretty pictures should be big…)
