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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

WR300~ Great Woods Bike ! Is it better than the 511 on single track ? I want to say yes because that's what I specifically bought it for, a dedicated woods bike and I
really love it. It's my goto choice nowadays for everything that doesn't require a plate. I've ridden the 511 on all the same trails prior to getting the WR and I could swear that
the 511 handles some of the tricky step ups and the like better than the WR. It just seems like it glides up and over some of the hairier situations with ease and I attribute that to
the CTS. The WR is lighter and better for most s/t but for the step-up and such I seem to have more confidence on the 511. Here's a clip from Saturday which doesn't reflect or have anything
to do with what I was just talking about, just something I really noticed as of late. Both great bikes.

Yep, that 2t\4t thing will continue ... I've pretty much made my mind up ...A 4t bike is almost always gonna be easy to ride ... They seem like street bikes with an offroad suspension to me... I ride my TC250 like a Cub50 Honda on the hardtop... And the TC goes fast on the dirt also. 2T bikes just require more riding skills to get the most out of I think. And that is not for everyone ...

You can't tell it from this video but this trail is steep, deep ruts, has lots of big rocks embedded, is slick in places where the sun can not shine \ dry that grass and clay dirt. I do have a ~new rear tire or this would be alot harder to climb ...

I'm in 2nd most of the way here, laying on the clutch to help keep the RPMs from falling off as needed and trying to keep traction plus maintain some ~speed, all at the same time ... 4t bike might be easier to ride here, but easier is not always what we seek :0) ...
 
Nice riding but doesn't sound like it was jetted quite right to me . Reminds me of how my CR used to run .
You happy with it ?
 
Its runs ok. A little ratty in the upper rpms. I'm running a 460 mj with the 2004 rm125 needle. I wonder if I should bump it up a little? OEM mikuni carb....
 
Nice riding indeed. (dirt addict) Takes a lot of endurance to rip around a track like that for an extended amount of time. I used to be that guy...twenty years ago :lol: on a YZ125. Now I'm just
older and slower and prefer the woods where I have an excuse to be slow. Here's a clip from my new favorite place up in the Sierras. Every time I go there I find new trails and there's way more to
be found. The WR (Woods Ripper as I like to call it because it hasn't been a "wide ratio" in quite a while) 300.

That place looks fun. I'm actually as much an off road rider as track. Its just in the summer its too hot for long rides. Unfortunately in kalifornia we're losing riding areas constantly. The restrictions are ridiculous .
 
DA, nice riding! I was surprised when I saw the "usual suspects" waiting up ahead for you. Watching you ride, I thought for sure they were behind you. Where were you riding? What area? Does the trail have a name? If no trail name, perhaps the mountain ridge you were riding has a name. I want to give that trail a try.
 

Me again. Video is from Yesterday- wet conditions, i had the original kill switch cutting out the engine- so i ll remove the light/horn/kill switch from the bike during the next couple of days...
