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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Pork Chop Hill

Mate that hill is not only really steep the loose shale and boulders kill any momentum and cause massive deflections.
 
One of the annual trail rides here in Oz includes a nasty hill known as Pork Chop Hill. Would any of you TE riders have a go at this if you had a chance? 150 riders tried and 5 made it up!:eek:

I wouldn't mind having a lash, but not on the TE I'm afraid!

Courtesy of AdvRider, apologies if you can't access it as you may need to be a member. Love the treatment no. 152 Suzuki receives - dragged back down the hill, rider not giving a s**t, saying that's why he doesn't buy a new bike!:lol: Gives a new perspective to buying second-hand...

If you can't access this, there are earlier years on Youtube - just search Pork Chop Hill.
 
Hey mate, I see you have a hammer head gear lever on your 630. Do you know the model number or where I can get one, I need one real quick.

Interesting!

I'll move this over to the main forum so others can enjoy it, in addition to the 610/630 people.

610/630 -> General (Main)
 
eh... now I get it. 2 people made 2 threads about pork chop hill.. I merged them so people could share their thoughts in one place. :)
 
Looks tough. The way guys are being bounced around on those rocks makes me think it's worth doing a suspension tweak at the bottom of the hill to plush up the compression damping front and rear... dial the damping right out and hope that helps minimise deflection and keep traction.

That, and a Rekluse. The one guy that makes it quite far up clearly has good clutch control... right up to the point where the bike loops out on him :D

Oh, and of course being a good rider would always be a bonus. DOH! That's where I would come unstuck :lol:

Sorry Coffee, I didn't realise a similar post had been made on the Main forum. I posted on the 610/630 forum because I was interested in whether those types of riders would attempt such a hill on that style of bike.

No dramas, and thanks for a terrific site!

Regards,
Russ

I can't keep up I would not expect anyone else to ether :lol:

It's all good. :)

I left a 1 month re-direct to this thread, so the 610/630 people will probably follow the link if they are interested. And I would imagine most will.
