It's about time you showed up here Yanni. You know there are a bunch of us here on the left coast that would love to go on one of you're rides.
Uh oh, the riffraff has infiltrated! About time you showed up here and sure do enjoy reading your colorful ride reports!
Bought my first Husky last June from Hall's in Springfield Il, live north of there about 3 hours WINTER SUCKS I NEED TO RIDE!!
Welcome to CafeHusky, MrBungle You're absolutely right about winter sucking. Why, just yesterday I had to use my grip heaters on my morning commute into San Francisco as it was only 42 degrees. Brrr.... WoodsChick
Well, if it makes you feel any better, our favorite trails here are covered in snow for now. In fact, it snowed in San Francisco a few weeks ago! It melted by noon, though... I wanted to ride Death Valley this weekend, with mid to high 60's and sunshine, but instead we'll be refinishing our 90-year-old hardwood floors. Yay. WoodsChick
I have been doing about two hours on the track for the last few days in a row. New Years day will be a 4-6 hour session. I take off my helmet only to get lost in a steam cloud. I could not imagine getting a new bike and having to sit and look at it all winter..my heart goes out to you that do!
Hi Coffee, I just stumbled onto this website today from a link in the Thumper Talk Husqvarna 4T forum where you are well known and appreciated. I assume that this site will be excellent under your care; I see a different moderator listed so I assume that you are webmaster? I also see many of the good guys from T-T posting. Anyway, I ride a 2007 Husqvarna TE450. It has a Rekluse and a right hand rear brake. I like it more every time I ride it. I'm an old enduro rider in the East Coast Enduro Association, I've been with the Pine Barons Enduro Riders, an ECEA club, for the last 26 years. I'm club secretary and enjoy working on the trails for our annual enduro. My avatar is me with my 1973 Husky MJ 250CR ("Heikki Mikkola Replica") ready for a 1978 ECEA enduro. It was my first serious dirt bike, new in 1973. I'm a retired Mechanical Engineer and enjoy the technical side of the sport almost as much as riding.
Welcome! I put the site up & run it, 1 moderator at the moment helping out. Trying to arrange things so people can more easily keep track of everyones good information.
hi, my name is claus, i am from bavaria. i just recently started to work for a motorcycle company in varese/italy where i take care of the two-stroke engines. it's a pleasure to see how enthusiastic you guys are about husky. r always remember: life is too short to wait two rotations for an ignition spark! (i hope i translated this great proverb into a correct english sentence)
Excellent quote! And welcome to CafeHusky, rasputin! Even though my Husky is an SM610, I prefer 2-strokes in the dirt. I have 2 of them WoodsChick
New Member G'Day all, im new to the site and i've just purchased a new TE450 09 model, my first Husky! I pick it up in 10days. Ive been on the Yami and a couple of KTM's prior and am looking forward to a change - hopefully for the better! I live in Oz so Robbie maddison is king or crazy! Question does anyone knowthe spring rates on the new Huskys?
Welcome to CafeHusky, birdman Congrats on the new Husky The next 10 days are probably going to go by really slowly for you WoodsChick
Hi I just found this site while researching 610 lighting solutions. I picked up my 2008 TE610 last summer for daily commuting (80 miles round trip) and some weekend blasting. I put Wolfman packs on it,a skid plate, pivot pegs and Cycra Probend guards. I didnt ride back and forth to work much due to my work hours and I live in heavy deer area. The lighting issues with the TE610 really presented problems for me since my morning drive is mostly in the dark on deer heavy roads. I live in an apartment so some of the "fixes" I read about would have been a little difficult. Then I found "IT" .... The new Trail Tech E2eclipse! I immediately ordered one from Motorsportz and I am eagerly waiting for delivery. That got me all fired up again and I've been lurking on the forum quite a bit. I'm impressed as it seems like a great group of people here. I'm sure I'll be learning a lot here. Thanks Dave
