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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Water crossings

I did a water crossing on my TE 250 yesterday. This was one I had done many times in the past on my R80G/S. It seems like the resident beavers decided they needed deeper water and increased the height of their dam. I could see fairly large fish swimming around my pegs and the water was over the top of the front tire.
The motor did start running rough but I managed to get across only to have it stall on the other side. No joy trying to restart. No water was taken into the motor as I could kick it over. So I am guessing the plug wire got wet and shorted out. The bike did start just fine after about 10 minutes or so.
Is this a common problem or am I just unlucky? Any way to waterproof the wire?
