    Hi all,

    I just found out about this Husky forum. Looks great.
    I am not the youngest rider anymore but am still active in enduro and ride all saturdays from 9-14h in a fantastic but not the easiest area, the NE of Spain. I started relatively late doing off-road / enduro but find it a fantastic sport to release me from all daily problems and stress after a hard week at work. It's just impossible to think in anything else ten riding, the slightest mistake and you are of track and against a tree or rock, or worse. Ocassionally I particpate in enduro races, but just for fun, at my age and in my class (+50 veterans) there is little to win and alot to loose. That became clear last year when crossing a river in the mountains we had to get on some rocks and I slipped on ythe edge whic was covered with moose, tearing up my knee ligaments and damagin them meniscus. However I am back onthe bike. I started racing on a VOR 503 but soon found out that that bike was too much for me. Too powerfull and not really good for single goat tracks and trail like climbing. Additionally it had only a ick starter (forward push!) and it could be started only in neutral, exhausting if you are on a steep slope and just capable not too thumble down. So I bought a Husky TE 250 in 2005 and am very happy with it. Only mods so far are a CRD perimetral radiator guard, a Silmotor full titanium exhaust system and an Athena 310 cilinder kit. Happy with all these mods.
    I am a better technician then a ider so most probably you can find me around in the technical forum.

    Regards,
    Crono

    Welcome to CafeHusky, Jeff, and thanks for coming out of lurker mode:applause:

    Congrats on getting your twins involved in bikes:thumbsup: I've been seeing it for years, and I think dirtbiking and camping are some of the best things you can do to protect the cohesiveness of a family.

    Hello All,

    Just joined the site. My wife and I just brought home two SM 610s. ('08)
    We have been riding sport bikes for the past 18 years and decided to go the SM route after recently acquiring dual sports and having a blast on those bikes. I just did two 200+ mile days on mine breaking it in around Palomar and North San Diego county. I love the bike. It has notched the riding "fun" factor up.

    First impression: handles great, fuels nice and sounds good. All I need for now is a better seat and get the gearing higher.

    Look forward to reading and contributing to the forum.

    Hello all, Great site you have here. Been lurking around for awhile and decided it was time to join this great community. I haven't been on a Husky since the late seventy's but am picking up an 07 WR125 this week to get back in the fold.

    Hi from Málaga

    Hi all,

    I'm new to this forum. Actually I own a Ktm 950 Adv, a really great bike but a littel heavy for hard offroad although it's a very succesfull off-road bike.

    My desire to this year is a dual sport signgle cilinder off-road bike, and I think than husqvarna 610 te is one of the best options. I'm thinking in bmw challenger and ktm 690 adv (near future) too, buy my heard is with husky 610, I love it :)

    Beers for all, :cheers:

    Hey everyone! Just signed up, and while I do not currently have a husky, I have long respected their reputation, and heritage. I have always wanted a Husqvarna, and now that I have a dealer in my backyard I look forward to purchasing one in the near future! :cheers:

    What a great sight, I'm still new so I have got to familiarise myself with the workings of the site.

    Just bought myself an 08 TE450 with 600klms on the clock (21 hrs). Prior to that i was riding an 06 TE450. If anyone can instruct me on what may be important to attend to on an 2008 TE450m it would be much appreciated.

    Look forward to further communication !!!

    This site is a bit different, and many seem to like it here. Actually much different in a few respects - some of the factory people post occasionally for instance.

    Bunch of people from around the globe reading it. Got some great people.



    Start up a thread in the 4stroke section and ask about your 2008 TE450 :thumbsup:
