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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Hey all,

Posting this report up on a few boards (mostly local), but I know there are some Aussies on this board and the more Husky eyes out the better, I figure, so Café Husky might be able to help, too.

The bike was stolen last night out the front of my house in Darlinghurst. I f****ing LOVED this bike so I'm really floored by it. Have invested heaps of time bringing it back to standard after the P.O. really did a number on it. The money is one thing, the time is another.

Anyway, thought I'd post up some details in case anyone had any ideas on what I could do - or at least just a pat on the back. First time having a bike stolen so any tips or suggestions would be great.

I've added it to the Stolen Dirt Bike register, but here are some more distinguishing features too:

- 06 SM 610, grey/black plastics, mostly 100% standard.
- There's a tear on the back of the seat near the release pin.
- Plastics are pretty scuffed due to luggage from touring on it.
- There's a scuff on the right hand rear model number, the "SM 610" sticker is noticeably warn through.
- Clutch lever is snapped in half and wrapped with insulation tape from a recent droppage.
- Muffler has a Giant Loop clamp/bracket on it for luggage.
- Fork covers have Dunlop stickers on them.
- New Avon Distanzia tyres which are pretty distinctive.
- Had one of those rego-tubes for the sticker right above the number plate
- Has BMW/Aprilia mirrors and thin LED indicators which are different to standard
- Has black tape around the back of the fan from fallen off rubber.

Below are a number of photos showing some of the features described... any ideas/suggestions/sightings would be greatly appreciated.
