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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

You rule, wheres the pix? :D I should have a few brochures coming my way too.

I've been staring at the rather thick brochure and keep reading the inside back cover where it says 'do not reproduce' the brochure.... maybe I'll send an email asking if it is ok to scan it. It does contain information not on the website which now has the 2010 information features & pics.

Check it out!

I'll post up pics of the bikes cause they said that was ok to do. :thumbsup:

Not in the USA. If it says something on the Husqvarna website in that regard it might not be correct.
 
The pictures are now being processed slowly...

One of the highlights of the trip was to meet Gerald from Upstate Cycles (http://www.upstatecycle.com/), he is the one on the right

Gerald is a TOP NOTCH guy and will bend over backwards to keep his customers happy! I've been called by Gerald on his personal cell phone many times on his days off to keep me informed about orders and parts etc. Gerald eats, sleeps, and breathes for his customers. His shop reminds me of the shop my Dad bought his first bike (Hodaka) from in 1968. No nonsense, down home dedicated service. It don't get any better than Gerald and Upstate IMHO. :notworthy:

Forest Service approved spark arrestor, and it is marked on the muffler (my 2006 te250 only says it in the owners manual).

The most interesting part is the electric starter. Many people wanted to remove the ignition cover to confirm but it appears the teeth for the starter may be there instead of on the clutch pack.
 
Wow.:eek: Wish I could have been there in person.

Thanks for the pics Dean.

Any mention on smaller bikes for kids?

If anyone is curious the rear turning signals are about as pliable as prior years - I'm not complaining at all, everyone has their own favorite method for dealing with the rear turning signals.

Interesting horn placement, it is possible some details may be different in production. These bikes did not seem 100% production bikes (as expected).

Swag....

:cheers:

All of these items have been available to order from Husqvarna dealers in the USA since late April. These are things available through your dealer that can be ordered from Italy. My understanding is these same products will be available at a lesser cost in the future but they will be the same products.
