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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Took my TE610IE out to our local MX track the other day.
Well, I must say that I was impressed. I am no chad reed and the last time I was on an mx track was over 20 years ago, but the bike tracked well. Took to the air fine, managed well in the ruts and could power out of the sand without issue. I was aware of the weight, but it wasn't over bearing. I am still running the bike in so I didn't go crazy (not that my experise or lack there of would have allowed me to anyway). I am looking forward to some trail riding too, but I will definitely go back to the mx track - great fun. Is a testament to the bikes flexibility. Its road manners are really quite extrodinary for a capable dual sport dirt bike too.
 
Did you take any pics? :D
There’re nice photos somewhere of Goosedog and his 610sm doing some air time in a MX track

:thumbsup:
 
To be critical, I have had the footpeg raised by one spline to accomodate for my Axo boots, however I still found it difficult no to keep tapping the shifter, especially landing from juimps, it kept either kicking it donw a gear or into neutral. I assume this is going to be the same on trails, akthough probably not as bad, so I am going to invest in some fastway pegs as recommended in the forum somewhere - definitely need to sort that out before I go back to the track. I know its not a race bike, nor do I want one, but for what it is, it was really good fun out their and certainly a good rider could have made it look impressive I reckon.
 
CORRECTION!!! I had the SHIFTER raised one spline - NOT footpeg - but you probably worked out what I meant
