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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!
I like my TR650 a lot tooI really like this bike...
...While waiting we walked to Mi Ranchita for breakfast, and it was superb! Tasty, cheap, super-friendly family running it...good stuff!
It looks like a section corner stone Woodschick. Another unbelievable travelogue! Thank you so much for taking us along.
And thanks for the info. I figured that's what the post was...something along those lines, anyway. Ok, Ace. Thanks
to you, too, for being able to wade through the avalanche of photos 
You need to co-opt one of the Gov's stealth drone that is activated by motion senser. Drill them all with the blue money die that feds use in money packets for criminals. Or you could just shoot them.Yeah, and you know what follows that, right? You lose it! I fully expect to show up one of these days and see it gated off. I sure as hell would lock it up if it were my property! Grrr...pisses me off to no end just thinking about it
I feel the same way, a lot of the areas I used to go and camp and ride are shut down now as a result of these @#$&*! idiots throwing crap all over the place. The places I go riding now are clean and beautiful but farther from home. Let's make sure we clean up after our-selves and the idiots as well.Yeah, and you know what follows that, right? You lose it!

Great ride report and good job on cleaning up after someone else.
Too bad on that subframe ... But on with the 650... It has to feel slim and trim after the other bike? Is the suspension OK out there?
Looks you guys are really rolling up some miles out there...
I had a Metzeler "Sahara" tire here and I liked it but you gotta watch laying it over like a knobby because it has no side knobs ..
) and I'm afraid the engineers did not have me in mind when suspending this thing. It's good enough for the riding I've been doing with it, and I do like the suspension rather stiff when hustling on pavement, but I'd like to re-spring it at some point. I'm pretty much on one tippy-toe when coming to a stop on flat pavement. I look like a total dork 
It's a big, tall, top-heavy pig compared to my svelte 610. It's all relative, I guess. When I'm riding it it feels great. When I'm pushing it around the back yard or pushing it up the driveway it feels incredibly heavy. 
As usual you had a epic adventure.
1/2 hour later we were heading west with a perfectly-running van!
We drove for hours on end and finally found our spot for the night...one of our favorite hot ponds. And guess what? It was absolutely trashed...again
