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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

You need to use music that is in the public domain. The Barber Shop Ballads on this site look promising.

Stroker Ace: What riding area is this. I'm guessing somewhere in the South West. Thanks again for a good vid.

You're making me nervous being out there all alone, I know you're familiar with Cuddlback and you're not taking to aggressive of trails but still, sometimes stuff happens.
On another note, why is that you're bike always sounds so relaxed? I'm always at the upper end of tach. I guess I"m still trying to ride it like a 250 2t.
 
Well, because I'm by myself I am holding back.. but these bikes have so much mid range you can use the next higher gear and make it "work". Plus I have a new Maxxis IT tire that hooks up like I'm on asphalt!!! You don't need alot rpm's to get the job done on one of these tractors. Their peak power is in the low to mid 7000rpm range anyway. That, and that's where it sounds the prettiest. I'll have to send you my SPOT link so you can come and get me.... I can't give away the end of this series yet (the last clip is coming soon), but your post leads right into it.........

Later dudes....
 
Oh yeah... I had 2 guys lined to go and it all fell apart after I was loaded up and on my way..... So I thought I would just entertain myself and make a movie.......LOL....LOL.....

Life aint easy for the old Stroker Ace.......

You know, I think you're onto something with the tire. That 908 I have just isn't cutting it. I never get to take advatage of that nice flat torque curve because I have no straight line traction, as soon as I begin to roll on the throttle I'm kicking up roost. I'm probably riding it higher up in the power band and trying to use speed to compensate for lack of traction.:excuseme:
Or maybe I'm just not as good of rider as you.:busted:
 
I don't think it's skill as much as different styles.... We'll have to go riding sometime and exchange some knowledge.....

Part 4 (the conclusion) coming soon.....

I will say the traction I have is amazing with the Maxxis****************************************!
