• 4 Stroke Husqvarna Motorcycles Made In Italy - About 1989 to 2014
     TE = 4st Enduro & TC = 4st Cross

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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Post up pictures of your 4 stroke bikes!

Just got this 2006 husky TE510. Been working so I haven't had a chance to ride it!! I can't wait. Pretty new to dirt bike world so any advice or tips are welcomed. I live in Los Angeles so any cool trails fill me in!

14R is back home as of last night. The leak was from an improperly torqued case half bolt. New crush washer and a re-torque and I seem to be leak free.
 
Riding alone is not the smartest thing to do. I still do it quite often and have had my share of scary incidents. Last Saturday I went by myself up
to the Plumas Forest above Oroville to check out some trails that I rode on once a few years ago. Park the truck on a dirt road and start exploring.
After approx 10 mi of dirt roads I came across a cool looking trail and followed it. It starts out looking like this...






it was a very fun trail but the further I went the tighter it got. The next thing I know I'm scaling the side of a canyon with a river
at the bottom. I should have stopped right when the trail started getting narrow but I'm an idiot and kept going until I finally realized
that the trail was going to get too hairy for a bike. At this point it was too narrow to turn my bike around. I was on the edge of a steep
embankment so one little slip and my bike goes off the edge, I'm probably 15 miles from my truck, not a soul around anywhere. It was one of
those moments when you think "what the hell have I gotten myself into". My only alternative was to carefully back my bike back up the trail
til I got to an area wide enough that I could turn it around. Let me say that backing up a TE511 uphill and over rocks with the bike in gear and
the clutch pulled in (was afraid to put it in neutral because of how narrow the trail was) is about the hardest thing I've ever done. It took everything
I had to get that thing to where I could turn it around which was probably about 20 yards.
So I lived to tell about it, there's a few morals to this story, don't go riding in remote areas alone, always fill your camelpack all the way to top, don't
go down an unknown trail blind and I'm sure there's more. I'm bummed I didn't have my helmet cam with me. I did take a few pics, though.

Gee what a coincidence! Last monday did the same but in deep sand in a narrowing trail in Ballinger Canyon. Had to back the bike down, after stalling. Sounds like you should do what I did and ordered a InReach SE... Just in case. The trail you were on looks like a great MTB trail.

I think we're all guilty riding alone at some point, I know I am quite often riding alone and have been very lucky on quite a few occasions. I enjoyed the read jerbear :thumbsup:
