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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

I have to admit something...

I went orange. I found out my wife is preganant as of a few weeks ago. Needless to say, our tax money is going to finish the basement lol. So with the motorcycle fund I had saved I looked for cheaper 2 strokes. I've never ridden a 2 stroke but at least this will help me decided weather I want a 165 or 4 stroke. I checked out some 125's and the adds said "it's a gem" or "completely rebuilt" and turned out they certainly weren't lol

It is a 1998 KTM 200exc. I'm really excited to just own a Bike again and look forward to owning a husky next season. I'm especially looking forward to my first race on on march 17th with the Colorado Offroad Championship series. corcs.net It is a GP/hare scramble series. I've never raced before. Well never officially, I always race people they just never know it lol.

Needless to say, I'm sticking around. As an official member of ktm talk now this is still home. So deal with it lol. 500 posts now and still no Husky, weird lol. I look forward to wearing my cafe husky t shirt to my first race lol
 
Congrats on getting a bike, did not know you were bike less...

Anything is fine by me, though my personal preference are 2 wheels and a motor - such as you just purchased.

:cheers:
 
Yeah my last bike was a yamaha supermoto (wr250x). I've rented the huskies about 7 times. It costs about 95 per rental and if I didn't want to race, I'd just do that. Figure bike depreciation, general maintenance, bike payments, heck renting just isn't a bad deal at that price. Plus it's nice swapping out between the 310 and 449 on a whim :)

Congrats on the great news.
 
I'm really excited to find out what the new baby is. We already have a 7 year old son and 3 year old daughter so it doesn't much matter. I'll have a full pit crew now lol. My oldest will be racing probably next year. Great news all the way around. If husky would just come out with a mini in the US there would be atleast one good bike in the garage lol

I already got you some advertising at KTM talk. Guy bought a husky 125 ;)

I haven't even ridden the bike yet. I want to get the owners manual and go over some things first. It's really hard having it and not going straight out lol

I though i was the only one as i just traded off my 2008 wr250x for a 2013 wr125/144. To say i am happy is a understatement.
I liked that little tard but needed a new 2smoke for some racing this year and i knew better than to sell my KDX.
Enjoy !!
 
You know I actually wish I still had the WR250X. Maintenance was minimal and they last forever. Honestly it was a good commuter. It in no one compares though with performance and I'm done with street, atleast for awhile
 
Had a second set of wheels so i would swap to dirt some times,nice bike after suspension was done it just needed a diet.
 
oh 1998 200 exc. that was in the good phase of production , post 2000 to 04 were as i recall tempremental in reliability and shattering gear boxes, not that ive owned one have riden a 300 exc an was impressed. keep those wheels turning an if you buy a 2013 ktm it mayaswell be a husky (sorry i just swore didnt i?)
 
I know it's older post, but I traded my wr250r to get my TE510. Ran into a guy on the first ride who just sold his husky to get a wr250r. Had more money invested in the yami than I spent on the husky and lost on the yami I sold.
