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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

LAPD riding in style

Thought this was pretty sharp looking (apart from the ugly canister):

I don't believe that bike has ever been ridden, or started. That awful thought of a breather hose on the gas cap, blinkers haven't vibrated off and there isn't any chain lube fling spots on the canister.

Don't be such a hater. Monterey County Sheriffs have to suffer with Yamahas while LAPD gets to ride in style on their Husqvarnas. :banana:

There's a dirt strip on the rear tire. But it certainly looks brand new. The canister will never see chain lube flung on it, though - the chain is on the other side of the bike.

The gas cap on my 310 has a custom breather hose and the stock turn signals haven't vibrated off. My bike is pretty clean, but you can instantly tell it's seen some dirt from the stains.
 
Looks like they have a few of them. Hey they are way better than what the city cops rode when I was a kid; Honda Trail 90's! They could sneek up on ya though lol.
 
It probably hasn't been ridden yet. Husky NA listed it as the 'new off-road mount for the LAPD.'
 
Wow! i wouldn't want one of those things chasing me! Before they lock me up I think i would ask for a demo ride!:thinking:
 
Yep, we (Tri-County Powersports) just got LAPD hooked up with these two fine looking 310's when they retired their tired old Kawaski KLX's. Got to visit the test facility with the demo bikes it was pretty cool.
They just took delivery a few days before the LA Supercross so other than the graphics the bikes haven't been modified for police use yet.
 
L.A. County Parks and Rec trails I would figure? Ha Ha glad I moved from there many years ago. They use to chase us around with a Helicopter and they once landed !!! On the PA they request us to shut down and stay where we are. Yea Right.... as soon as they shut her down we all bolted, big fun " Cat & Mouse" days back then (70s-80s). I guess the Heli got to pricey, LAPD then bought Ultra-lights ( engine powered hang-gliders). That lasted 3 months, people started shooting at them (low altitude).

Cool bikes, TCP are you going to open them up (Exempt) Ha Ha. I still ride down there, just checking
if I can still out run them....

What would they use these for? The canyons? Urban walking trails?

Patrol river beds and such. Keep an eye on homeless and aprehend those that have committed crimes and may be in hiding. I like that urban walking trails idea, that would be fun. Braaaap!
