    Hi, I have a 2011 te310 on order, never owned husky before. Current bike is a 2003 KLX400R (plated) bought new in 05, very fine bike but heavy. I'am not looking to ride much pavement (have a street bike for that) lots of beautiful trail and abandoned trail lines all over Newfoundland. this two week wait for delivery is killing me! I have some questions for later. Thanks for looking in, by for now.

    Hey everyone, my name is Mike & I do not have a Husky or any other bike at this time. I've wanted a dualsport forever to use for commuting & discovering some of the different places I get to go for work. I just never could find anything that appealed to me. I never saw much individuality in having somethine evey other person in town had in their garage. I've had 2 motorcycles in my life; honda cr250r & mh rx 50. I've had some down time (burned my leg) so I spent that time studying motorcycles on the net. I've narrowed the field to a 630. Now I have to decide SM or TE! I may go SM for the larger front brakes & dress it up as a TE for playing (WoodsChick) style, minus lowering it. I've been in contact with Gerald @ Upstate Cycles, Greenville,SC via email & am awaiting the word on the 2012 models. Since I bbq'd my leg it was a good time to jump on the price reduced 2011 models. This is a great site, leaps & bounds beyong some of the others I've joined for my information gathering. I hope to be riding soon & able to contribute knowledge & learning experiences to future members.

    Hi folks, my name is Richard, from Nofolk(England), I'll admit I've been lurking around the cafe....nothing too sinister, just the tail end of spending months and months of research on what bike to get. At a local meeting I was almost painted orange when fellow bikers discovered I was on the hunt for a bike, then told by others, nothing other than japanese would do,several manufacturers later and more ridicule of each others bikes, I realised, I would have to find the answer myself. I was amazed at the debate It sparked off. I should know better, sitting in a room with 25 or so seasoned riders. So, here I am, non - orange and not eating sushi or paella.... 2011 te310 is being picked up in exactly one week, can't wait, I'm like a kid at Christmas! Thanks to all people that post on this great site which has ultimately brought me to my sence in buying the right bike:)

    Never had a Husky before, will pick up an 09 TE250 next week. I have a DR650 that I'll keep but want to have something lighter to play on. I'm In New Mexico, US. Have been a safety instructor as well as a hooligan:D. Have probably had 40 bikes, several in the last couple months, vintage Japanese, a trials bike, but nothing is more fun than a flickable dirt machine, plus it is street legal:applause:

    Greetings from Lassen County, California-Susanville to be exact. I was riding a regular ole dirtbike prior to two weeks ago when my husband drove for 9 hours to pick me up a 2010 TE 250 (my first street legal). He ripped it down to the frame and is currently rebuilding. First priority was to lower it about 2 1/2 inches, done. New plastics, hand warmers, and a bunch of other stuff will be here this week. Looking forward to riding the awesome trails around beautiful Cali and beyond on my new Husky.
    :D

    Geoff with MotoCity in Avondale (Phoenix) Arizona. Added Husky to our line up a while back and came across this site, was hoping there was a Husky equivalent to KTM Talk and looks as though we found it. I have spent a lot of time on the 2011 TXC 449 and the 2011 WR 300. We are headed to the Husky dealer meeting in Cali. this weekend, looking forward to riding all of the 2012 bikes!

    Hi, new/old Husky rider here...had a '06 SMR-510 that we ran at WSMC (Streets) in '07 and once in '08. Sold it, and now miss it!!

    Just got a used 2009 TC-510 (from someone who may be here on the board?). One brief ride day so far, great motor just like that 510 had. Now at Moto Forza in Escondido getting freshened up a bit.

    Looking forward to more Husqvarna fun and riding soon, and learning more here at Cafe Husky!

    Hello all, I'm Shaun.

    I've recently purchased, what i'm led to believe is a 1997 TE 410. Supermoto setup, so does that mean it's a TE 410 E? It needs some TLC and the engine needs a good rebuild. Any help would be appriciated.

    Speak to you all soon.

    Shaun :D

    Per chance are you the owner of a forum yourself? Your posting style looks quite familiar...
