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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 will post an updated picture of the beautified 510 once everything all done in the works. Here is a sneak peek!

Made some changes to the bike, so I thought I'd post some more pics. Bought a few of the 7602 parts http://www.7602racing.com/, great stuff by the way. I also tried my best to fool myself into thinking I have a newer bike than I actually do, hence the colour scheme and front fender. Much more cost effective than a new bike.

Here's my naked 2009 TE510. Rock solid bike Ive had since 2011. I bought it with 15 miles and now it has almost 3900. It's been in the Stumpjumpers Desert 100 three times and always brought me across the finish line. It's not too shabby for a run to the grocery store either. View attachment 67008
This is my third set of Pirelli MT43's, they hold up really good in the ugly rocky terrain I ride in Naches and Odessa, WA. I love them in everything but mud which renders you immobile! I never have run the life out of a tire because I put a new set on for the desert race each year but they do hold up good. Last year I went back to a knobby (Pirelli MT16) I tore it to shreds in two rides. I'm sold on the MT43's but If I didn't have to have a DOT approved tire I would want to try the Kenda Equilibrium.Looks solid! Ever since the first time I ran a trials tire I haven't gone back, which one are you running? I currently have the Motoz Hybrid and it's been awesome, long life on it too.

The Pirelli MT43's are great tires those are what I ran before I found the MotoZ Hybrid (also DOT approved), I prefer the MotoZ now because the knobs are a little taller and spaced out a bit more and the knobs on the outside fan out a bit more which give me even more grip on the rocky stuff. Like you said, they are terrible tires when it comes to mud haha
Those are sexy tires!! I'm going to have to try those out.
My 2010 TC250f, bloody awesome bike i love it. Sadly i don't ride it i ride a 2013 CR125, as this is impossible to start when hot and we can't work out how to fix it. I love the power and handling of it. oh well, im sure it may get fixed one day. I hope.
