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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Went for an afternoon ride on Saturday on some very different terrain than what I'm used to
which is woods,tight s/t trails. Here's a clip. I've got a lot more that I'll eventually get to putting
on you tube. The video doesn't do it justice. This is some steep assed hills and the dirt is hard packed with a layer of loose gravel type crap on top. It's all about steady throttle and maintaining
traction because once that rear wheel starts spinning, you're toast.

Where is this? Did you have to turn around and go back down the same hill?
 
Chug-a-lug! The bike sounded like it was barely breaking a sweat. Should slap a john Deere sticker on it!

Actually, Daniel, it was just the opposite. I went down this trail thinking there would be a dirt road or something at the bottom
but the trail goes all the way down to the water and there's no other way out than to go back up the same way, which I was not
wanting to do. It was long and very steep in some sections.
I'm not one of those who's secretive about riding area's but rather than post it on-line and possibly piss off those who turned me on
to it, I'll pm it to ya. Personally, I like riding in the Sierra's better as this place has got rain ruts from hell on just about every trail.

if you do a chest mount the terrain is easier to see. Plus its way more realistic!
