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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!
TE/TC TE300 passes the test

just reporting. I have actually talked several customers out of a Lectron as they simply did not need one. Like you say, solution in search of a problem."on a Beta note there were quite a few Beta 300RR and race versions and one 498(whoa) Betas really come up off idle very very clean...those guys were just chugging up stuff , we had 2 in our crew as well as our local dealer friend on his 300 for hardcore enduro/extremo stuff out of the box...that 300RR is badass, my TE300 will be tuned into that style. Thats my benchmark"
I know the austrian husky is a beautiful bike but in the end it is mostly just a white ktm/husaberg? I've been on the fence between the beta 300 and the husky...after being on ktm's for the past15 years I was ready for a change...after seeing a te250 on the dealers floor I was ready to pull the trigger on the austrian husky which might not be that much different..I keep hearing about the great bottom end luggability on the Beta's and now you have me thinking that may be the direction I go! would you think I would be happy on the beta after being on the ktm for all these years?
also the one thing that speaks to me about the beta is the lower seat height, on my previous ktm's (pds) I always had to have the suspension lowered a bit for work out for me in the tight technical goat trails I ride.
any feed back is appreciated.

feedback is always personal, set up is everything. If you want "pure" Italian bike from a great long term company that is semi mainstream and still little bit different here Beta is your answer. Y'all know about the 300c Kato based bike, its the best enduro xc bike that ktm never built.
The racing pedigree of the 300cc based Husky is unquestioned. motor and subframe numerous hard enduro wins and podiums with husaberg, Ktm 300 motor OA at the 2013 ISDE with the XC chassis and 4cs forks.
I was up to 90% Beta sold and the bike was being held for me, until my dealer heard me mention it....he sold me a TE300 to keep me in the fold. Our French crew member bought my slated for me Beta and is super happy, but even he may do a suspension lowering set up, he is a very competent ugly trail rider but is the shortest guy in our crew at 5'6".
