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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

All 2st The obligatory video thread.

That's good stuff, Ray-Ray. Awesome OHV riding terrain is combined with residential living where the mode of transportation favors dirtbikes. Must be nice.:thumbsup: BTW, is trail as steep
as it looks ? From experience I've come to find that my GoPro tends to make steep hills look flat on vid. What brand of camera is yours?

Here's the case of a landslide making a very friendly jump on what I call the GoatHill ride at the 1:51 mark... I think I could clear this one or come to within a couple of bike lengths ... This is where some of that MX track riding meeting trail riding ...

08 WR250 just cruising up this mountain road. First corner past the landslide jump, is a goatless, GoatHill.

Here's the ride report the GoatHill ride ..and as a coincidence, the 5th pic on the report shows the slide area ~10 months ago ..

Thxs and this trail is an uphill and a little steep in places, but overall, its not too taxing on the bike or me ... For some reason, seems all cameras flatten out the terrain ...That's why I usually do a downhill version of most of my stuff ... Downhills show the steepness alot better to me it appears...

That's a contourRoam 1600 camera ... You can see if the sun is wrong, it really has an effect on the quality ... Plus that device is a couple yrs old and I'm not so sure the quality is as good as it was when new. Part of this might be youtube because the uploads never look nearly as good as the local copies on my laptop.

I gotta get the mount taped tighter also I think to stop some of the bouncing ... My mounting bracket for the camera is not glued to my helmet ... So I'm taping it onto my helmet. Personally, they look good enough to me but... And since I'm a movie-maker\dirt bike rider now, I'm gonna have to do these westward trails earlier in the day so that I do not get the bad light effect. I like riding here in the heat of the day because the locals are in the shade and not on the trails so much, but this gives me the wrong light from the sun many times though.

This is a longer video and the first 2:14 is a pretty good grade up just a loosely rocked road and maybe not too interesting unless actually riding it, but the left hand turn at 2:15 is up another mountain road that is much more steep and has the downhill ride also so the steepness of the grade is shown much better. This one is steep enough in places that if the bike is in the wrong gear, you'll know it immediately. The sunlight reverses also so you get a better lightling effect over parts of the trail... That section just after crossing the basket-ball court at the 9:12 mark to about 9:33 is cool with the turns and inside and outside lines possible on those gnarled ~rock faces... Usually the family living there is outside upstairs (9:21) looking down at me as I pass ...

Yep, its a nice low-key life here for me and it is like the entire countryside here is a OHV park unless someone has made an effort to block off an area ...Even then, it may or may not apply to foreigners or many of the locals ... When it's open, twist the throttle...When locals are on the trail, consider letting the throttle close... when passing thru these villages or what ever you wanna call them, have the self-discipline to slow down, and it most likely will continue to be nice here. Of course, buying food and gas and oil and beer and rum along the way goes a long ways out here also ;)

One more thing ... That 610 you have will do this entire island chain well I'd guess... It'll probably do ~95% of what I ride here on my 250cc bikes.. But you know, ..slower :)
 
Went for a ride on the 165 in the hills again - made it up all of them no problem - even with 14 / 50 gearing
Used to be a lot more of a drama as a 125
Video is from a fellow riders perspective - he and another 450 struggled and its a bit crap but skip to 1 min 30 to see me on the 165 in action up one of the easier hills -
(bike still not running real clean though even with a 17.5 pilot )

Some east coast action with two redneck jokers. One rides a WR144 and the other a KTM 450EXC.

F&@king awesome video!
Great music! And funny as......
We could be brothers from a different mother.
I can't wait to get me to the top of a big hill and eat a turkey sandwich!

Here's some creek riding on my 08 WR250 ... I think this creek hooks back into some other locations I ride and would like to connect the dots but not possible today ... Still a good ride and you are see I'm not really a water-rider as shown towards the end where I got my boots full of water ..

The WR300 on some cool trails. First ride with my new FMF Q Stealth. Doesn't sound much quieter, maybe slightly. My goal for the day was
to play around with the clickers and get the suspension a little more dialed in. I did do a little adjusting but it takes a lot of patience and
stopping and riding and stopping etc.. have to work on it some more next time.
