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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Te250 First Ride

With absolutely no prep except a change of tires. I took my new TE250 off the showroom floor at Bill's and rode it in the Applegate Rough Riders Nestuca Poker Run yesterday.

Great bike for the largely single/double track through the forest course. Nice throttle response, surprisingly torquey for climbing hills, light enough to throw around and the suspension isn't far off (really, no prep ... I didnt even look at the sag or any other suspension settings) for this sort of riding.

Generally Im not a big fan of this type of riding as my 'natural' territory is China Hat's open and fast trail system or a similar race course (Eddieville/Starvation Ridge for you locals), but instead of spending my day being terrorized by trees and rocks and hills the little TE put a big smile on my face. With this thing I might actually start to like riding in the woods.
 
I agree. My first Single track ride last week was amazing! Coming from the TE450 even with the stock 250 tires and gearing. Bike feels amazingly light and agile!
