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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

2014 Husqvarna line

Which is it, more responses or close the thread? We will post in another thread anyway. Post on brothas. :thumbsup:

- And I'm with you on all this, I think it is sad huskys is virtually going away and KTMs with husky badges in their place. Thats just less choices plan and simple. Hope I get proven very wrong with all new unique huskys in the near future.

Some of us are just more confused than others so there might be a few posting errors from time to time :) ...

A fast-forward button to 2015 might give us a much better clue to the Husqvarna brand dirt bikes ... Until then, it might be best to strap the helmet on tightly and ride what we have ... at least that is my plan to ride more... (Your x-bike has turned out pretty well I'd say after the first ~75 hrs here ... After that cam swap, all I've done is changed the engine oil and rode it ... It was the go-to bike for a while here.)

A time is what you make of it........Like they say.........God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
The courage to change the things I can, And wisdom to know the difference.

My translation reads "I did not buy Husqvarna and have no say so in what happens, I have both Swedish and Italian Huskies that I regularly ride and compete on and will continue to do so, and I will not buy nor even ride one of those re-colored orange turds!"
 
I really see this as no different from when Huskies became re-branded Cagivas, they evolved into something I LOVE. I'll remain open-minded towards future Huskies ..... While I stockpile parts for my bitchin '12 CR144 which I will never sell!
 
I remain open minded as well but one color I do not wear is orange and while that's pretty superficial, a motorcycle, car, boat, etc... are all chosen by a variety of criteria, color always being one. Now if KTM was red maybe I'de be on one but marketing choices lost me as a customer. Mostly since I tend to own what I buy for a very long time. I don't chose lightly. I also tend to own things that might suprise others, when they increase in value down the road, not depreciate, as many presume. Who knows.... Maybe the '13's will eventually re-escalate in value. The pinnacle of the 310 line. As long as there are parts and the bike doesn't mysteriously begin to fail, it's part of the long term stable for me. It's very happy next to it's sister, the single shock '06 Ducati Sport which has been selling for close to and more than new recently.

Sorry man, but I'm liking my "re-colored orange turd"!
 
I'm actually trading in one of my orange turds for this.

Aftermarket pipe and silencer puts the TE at 49hp which is plenty. The orange one has linkage and pds on blue, but after feeling the the redesigned pds on this, I'm all in, especially for rock crawling.
