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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

The final ride of my Husky Strada

That got my adrenaline pumping just reading! Thanks for the post. Are you planning on another bike? Or some time off? Rest well, in any case - rotator cuffs are slow to mend.

Thanks. Enforced rest for a bit before getting back on the MTB for a bit of fitness. I've got a K1300R gathering dust, so it'll be next in line ......

Fiery & freezing dawn –



To start the day, we got a bit lost in the Murray – Sunset NP –






We eventually emerged to gun it down the slab ; many hours later, back to Melbourne & home, ending a fabulous week-and-a-bit's riding :)

Fuel economy - for around 3700kms the Husky averaged 4.9l per 100kms, which is pretty good considering the extra weight & wind resistance, the sand riding and the press-on pace on the straight tar sections. My Husky’s power/drivetrain is completely standard, other than a Unifilter and Karoo3’s.

Stripped of all its luggage & stuff, the Husky showed just how bat

My hat is off to you. My last wreck yielded 7 broken ribs (a couple broken twice) and a flat lung. I waited six days to go to the Doc hoping my ribs were only bruised. Yeah Right.
I can't even imagine riding during those six days.
When I went to the Doc I was transported to intensive care at another hospital for a week, followed by another weeks care to mend my lung.
Those meds you got must have helped some....
I'm glad you continued and made it through. Like I said I can't even imagine. . .
Wow
 
legend mate.

My mate didn't fare so well April last year when he hit an emu on his Super Tenere. Bike a right-off & body nearly so.

It's a tool tube made from stormwater pipe with a screw-on cap at the end. If you make one, use plumbers tape on the thread to stop the cap unwinding on rough roads. Attached to the bash plate with steel ratchet straps.
