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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Leaving Forum until the next Husqvarna

Riding Again

Well as I posted in my Dealership Woes thread I am moving on from my Husqvarna TR650 Terra. Sometimes bad things turn into a situation to take advantage of. I know own a Truimph Tiger 800 XCX.

I just wanted to say thank you to every one on this forum as it greatly helped me get back into riding and maintaining a motorcycle. It is a great stress relief. As you know the husqvarna Tr650 is a good back to through yourself in the middle of fixing a bike. Maybe over whelming for a first time person but non the less it was a great experience that I owe many forum members a thank you for the help.

Sad to leave this forum.

Not as good off road as your bikes in your profile. Although I do only 5% of my riding offroad. I ride 20k miles a year on road. This bike does come with premium wp suspension bash plates and side bars with hand guards. So less farkles to get me there. The stock tires need to be worn out to go to some mitas E07 tires though. If you look on youtube you can see the Bear Gyllis commercials for off road. It is for the man looking to go where no men go according to him. LOL I would say it is comparable to a ktm 1190 adventure r offroad minus 25hp or so. Plus cruise control and a lot more reliable than KTM.
 
Heck, I'm still a moderator on a site for DR650's. I sold that bike in 2012. Enjoy the new wheels.

Gotta say that hearing all the good things about Beta from you and other members has me almost convinced that my next race bike needs to be a 300rr. Racing a big ol TE449 is fun, but just sitting on the Beta feels right. Glad you guys have stuck around.

That being said I miss My CR 167 (Walter Bean Edition) was a good bike just ate myself out of it.... I should have kept it was hoping my son would take an interest in riding or at least keep it as a buddy bike..
