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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

thinking of moving out west (again)

Now that I remember how MUCH I love off-road riding (after NOT doing it for 30 years) I am now seriously considering moving into an area where I can do it, freely as possible, with no worries or restrictions, legally: I would like to ask: where is this a reality ? If anyone would please reply, & let me know what area of the country you're in, or where you ride, off road, without police interference: in my area, it's just not do-able, unless you go to a dirt track, or a sanctioned preserve, where the DNR uses "trail passes" and registrations: all are TOO far, and it's an entire day's trip. Would greatly appreciate anyone's input, here.
 
I live in Oregon in the Valley and I really think I am spoiled.
1 hour to Browns Camp (TSF), Trask, or Willamina Trails. Only about 2.5 hours to central Oregon where we ride Desert terrain.

Oh, and best of all - we have Bills Motorcycle Plus a quick 15 minutes away.
 
Cali is getting worse these days. We will probably be in your boat soon enough Freddy. The only thing our state legisative body does is copy and paste laws written by environmental crazy groups and re-write existing legislation to make it more restrictive and get the credit for it for their next election. The funny thing is I can ride my 84 IT all year long on a green sticker, but all newer 2T and all but the greenest 4T bikes get restricted riding season Red Stickers. Yep, it really is that stupid.:banghead:
 
I grew up in The San Francisco Bay area lived in the Central Valley, Stockton for about 7 years. Theres some great riding Northeast of that area and up SouthEast of Sacramento. Rode alot up in there before moving to southeast AZ.
Good high desert riding here and the monsoons are going to be here any day now. I'm at 4100 ft and get up into the Forest treelines at about 5000 ft. a half hour away or less.
Great high desert riding without cops or problems except the 2 legged mules carrying dope on their backs. 2 legged Coyotes too with large groups going North. Really you can ride for hours here and avoid such things but that is part of my job stopping that sort of thing so I do see alot of it 5 days a week. I don't have to chase them or anything just maintain the fence they came in through at times and inspect the work when its done that I call out to have done for my job. Then I ride on the weekends.

Plus we have some of the largest weight per capita mule deer hunting up here than anywhere in the state or country for that matter. I see about 15 a day just riding my work truck down the Border roads.
 
Oz is nice, same size as the lower 48 and only 22 million people. Truck load of space out there and we speak English- sort of.
 
all I an say is WOW, thanks for all the responses, and ALL of this very usable info ! I'm, gonna whip out the country map now, and start putting thumb-tacks down, in these spots....next step: ZILLOW.com, and shortly after: selling this tiny condo ! thanks again, all.
 
I've been researching my escape plan for a little while. I'm tired of a 6 fig income being almost enough to get ahead here in addition to being taxed and screwed every which way. Don't get me wrong, I too have a short pavement ride to dirt, and lots of wide open riding from 30 minutes to 4 hours away in the van. I grew up loving riding the dirt around here, but unless we get some people who are more interested in creating real jobs and being business friendly instead of pushing high speed rail from somewhere to nowhere, I'm out.
 
Idaho is looking pretty good as a possibility for us. Got some family that just moved there and started a business. They don't ride, but they be very happy so far.

As long as you don't want to ride a 2-stroke, or whatever else CA determines to be unfit for use in the coming years, and don't mind submitting your race bike to emissions testing. :thumbsdown:
