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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

TE449s are cool

Working back in Idaho.
Last year I only had my Wr2fiddy now on the 449 Things are already looking up.
One of the guys I work with wanted to go for a ride. I explained to him the 449 isn't a "road bike"
he rides a kawi 900. well we ended up doing a canyon run "on pavement"
Now I know it is more rider than bike but it was fun to blast by him on the tight twisties like he wasn't even movin.
Also I know a more aggressive and skilled rider could have mopped up the asphalt with me. But he's not that skilled or aggressive.
Even with the D.O.T knobs she can rail fairly well.
Oh, and of course the posted speed limit was never exceeded.
So in short if you have some smack talkin sportbike wanna be bikers don't be overl concerned about keeping up in the tight stuff. A little note: on the long straight aways he would blow by me doing over a hundred. What ever. How hard is it to twist a throttle on a paved stright line?
 
I have been been putting down the power on sportbikes threw canyons for years , not hard to do on a motard... :). Next month my TE is getting 320mm rotor and 21/18 street tires just to show the new generation how it's done at speeds they can go in first gear. Lol.... Soon as I ride Dusy Irshim trail both directions in a day on my TE 511 it's getting some SM track time and occasional hoodlum twist up the canyon.
