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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Welcome to the forum! Introduce yourself here!

Hi Coffee (and all you other Husky type people),

This looks like a great resource, good threads and nice info from round the world (which is great for us Aussies cause were a bit remote from the rest of you). I've currently got a '05 TE450 thats done it's valves (finally after much TLC to get it this far), been a great bike but has burn't the 4ST love out of me, goin' back to a WR300 next season, bit of a suspension revalve and a Recluse clutch and I'll be spraying roost all over again. Too hot to ride here at present (well it is for old fella's like me anyhow). Last ride was so wet you couldn't stand up on the trail, was riding with a couple of Suzukis and a KTM, Husky was sick with Valvosis and still smashed the lot of 'em.
Keep on Roostin' folks, keen to hear from you.

G'Day Husky riders from around the world,

I remember coffee from my ThumperTalk days, nice website you got going here coffee. :thumbsup:

Been riding since I was about 5, current ride, just picked up a 2010 TE450, also ride an 848 on the road, best of both worlds I say.:smirk:

Last 3 bikes before this one, have all been Huskies as well.

06 Te450
07 Te250
07 Te450

They have all been very reliable bikes for me so why change.;)

Here's my new ride the day I picked her up, went for tradition, silver rims!!

And 2 days later with the Motley crew, we did a 167km round trip, 4 new bikes turned up on that day, 2 Husaberg 570, a Husky450 and 510.

Long day at the office, but we all had a great ride, very happy with my new ride, she handles sweet.:notworthy:

I work shift work, so all the Guys I ride with are in the same boat, sometimes we have up to 12 riders and we can only ride during the week when every other bugger is at work, what a Bummer hey. :cry:

Slappa. :cheers:

New in Humboldt County,CA

Howdy, and thanks for the welcome.
I live in coastal northern Ca...behind the redwood curtan as we sometimes say. I have an 08' TE 510 (now a 530; A great mod. deserving its own post), my re-introduction to motorcycles after a long absence (during which i peddaled things with two wheels). I love the bike and have racked up some pretty good adventures. I am looking forward to broadening the experiences and my range.

Oh..my user name was once bestowed on me for my uncanny skill at breaking things while working on them; but we won't tell anyone!

Hey Guys,
I have just became a first time Husky owner. I purchased one of the first 2011 TXC 250s to reach CA. I currently race the West National HS Series and D36 Enduros. I just signed on the Husky support team under MotoXotica for 2011 and am looking forward to a great year!

Welcome to Cafe Husky :thumbsup:
 
Hi all
I Know some of you from the SMJ site that's how I found CH. I just picked up a
2011 TE 250 early X-mass for me. The plan is to get back to my dirt roots, I have
been riding for over 40 years. Currently race supermoto with SMUSA Nor Cal in the
adult mini class. I have an 07 510 SMR that I use for short adventure rides, track
days and a race or two. I am planning to swap wheels and front ends around on
both bikes if the 510 doesn't sell.
 
Hi Coffee

I'm from south Jersey and I have a 2009 TE 310.. I used to ride alot when I was younger, I'm now 38.. Not sure if you heard of him but I grew up with and rode with Michael Lafferty (National Enduro Champion). Anyway my father used to ride husqvarna back in the day and between the combination of that and the bike being street legal sold me on the Husqvarna. I recently raced a few hiar scrambles and I'm very pleased with the bike. Thanks for this site because it's difficult on getting information on our brand of bike..

Thanks T-bolt..
 
Once again welcome everyone! :thumbsup:

Serious case of moto disease!!!

Hi all
Name is Jon and from Iceland. I am a complete bike nut, I've got the bug BAD :thumbsup:
Currently own the following:
1998 Husqvarna WR 250 (needs a cylinder)
2006 Honda CRF 250
2003 KTM 625 SXC
1996 Husqvarna TE 610 (being rebuilt)
2000 Yamaha YZ/WR 426 hybrid
and one ATV.
I am just looking for Husky advise, tips, help, parts and some good company.
See you around,
Jon :cheers:
 
Hello,

I am from Sweden and currently riding a Gasgas. After reading here and a testing a TE 250
I think it's time to switch bike. I like reading posts in the EFI and 4 Stroke forums.

Merry Christmas!
 
Hi gang, aloha from the 50th state. I don't have any Husky's yet, I'm considering a 2011 TE310 or something close. Currently I have two KTMs, a 200 and 250 2-strokes. Trying to decide if I should switch out one of them for a 310. Lots of info here, it'll take some time but hopefully I can get it figured out.
 
New to the site but not new to Husky, a couple TE450s before now stepping up to the big dog, TE610. Lots to read about getting the most out this versatile machine for DS and the "start your day with a smile" motorcycle commute. Looking forward to the first sign of spring!
 
Can someone approve my account so I can PM someone. I want to buy something from the classifieds. I promise I'm not a robot spammer :cheers:.
 
Husky future

Just a b it of new information that isn't out there yet. Husky is going to put an assault on the GNCC series this year. Simo Crissy will be riding XC1 and Jason Thomas will be riding XC2 and likely win that championship. The exciting news is these guys will be riding under Fred Andrews Racing and Monster Energy and of course Husky.
