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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Hello all, newby here near Dallas, TX with an '07 TE450. All of 82 miles on her. Bought new from a Harley/Husky dealer in Wisconsin in Nov. 2008. They had posted maybe a CycleTrader ad selling a new (then) unsold 07 for what I think was a bargain price of $4,750 and $250 to truck to my house in TX.
Anywho, I cranked her up right out of the refrigerated 18 wheeler cheese hauling truck that had my new Husky as extra freight. Cool bike. It had 18 miles on the clock, I rode it till the 82 miles.....drained the tank and carb, covered the bike and parked it in a shed out back that late Nov '09 day, untouched until today.
The tires are still inflated, filled the fuel tank, put in a new battery, opened the fuel valve, pulled the red (choke?), turned the key on and .......nada. Cycled the key off/on, pulled the clutch, instrument panel came alive, the engine cranked for about 3 seconds and the little beast sprang happily to life! Pushed that red button in after about 15 seconds, and it settled down into probably a little slow idle, needed a tiny bit of throttle to get a bright tail lite, so I suppose the idle needs turned up. Will search around here for a how-to on that.

Suppose I should go get the little beast registered and tagged, then start getting some fun use out of her......I think this is going to be a blast!
 
Thanks Newellj,
