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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

New to Cafe Husky

Greetings!

I'm a new member, have owned many dirt and street bikes over the years and am currently in the process of buying my first Husky.

A question for all - Should I go ahead with purchasing a new 2010 450TE for $6,795 (supposed to be a good deal) or wait and buy a 2011 449TE - obviously for much more?

Any guidance would be appreciated!
 
Hello, my name is Tony ,bought my first husky about 7 months ago (09 smr510) and I love it. Would like to buy another one. It does have some issues though.

Hi,
I currently am looking at the TE630, TE610 and 690R to get me onto trails that my big horse GS12 can't do (at least with me as pilot!) CO has lots of steep, rocky trails too tech for the big kahuna. I've ridded everything from the DRZ 400 Susie to the 640 Adventure in search of the right machine. So far, the TE610 seems like the best fit. The KTM's are too high strung for me on road (vibey with close ratio boxes, it seems), the 630 is great, but I think I'd like too get the same gearbox ratios of the 610 and lose some weight in the process.

Thoughts?
 
Greetings fellow Husky owners

I'm a newbie, just purchased a 81-82 420ae auto. Not sure of the year, the guy I bought it from thought it was an 85 because thats when he bought it from the dealer. Interesting that it has only 96 miles on it and he signed an affidavit starting that was true and correct. Any info about autos you can send my way would be appreciated. I started it and went down the street and back but don't want to put any miles on it. It is for sale to I would imagine a collector or someone who wants virtually a new 81-82 420ae.
 
greetings!

just stumbled on this site from a reference on yahoo groups. Great site with lots of info!

I'm a vintage Husky guy:

current runners = '67 & '71 250 cross
current projects = '67 360 Viking & '74 250 mag

Feel free to guilt trip me to sell my drz and go find a real supermoto bike :D

Look forward to meeting you all,

rick
 
Hello from the Southwest! been a long time Husky admirer but have never owned one and, hopefully, I can rectify that soon!

BTW, can someone point me to a link where I can read up on the differences between XC, CR, etc. on the left kicker 80's bikes? Thanks!
 
Hello Husky community.
Currently located in the Horn of Africa, but my home is Lacey, Wa. Just made a commitment to buy 2007 610SM, with 2600 miles. Going to be a great time when I get home.
Thanks in advance for all the help,
Mike C.
 
Hello everybody at Cafe' Husky.

I current live in Henrico Virginia and own a Suzuki DR-650 Dual Sport but I am thinking hard about getting either a 125 or a TE-250 for dual sporting but mostly off-road stuff. I have ridden a 2009 125 of my father-in-laws and was thoroughly impressed on it's handling and performance. I am 6'4" tall and about 230lbs so I think the TE-250 will be good for me but I am not ruling out the 125.

Look forward to seeing everything this site has to offer.
