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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Hello. I'm Stev from central PA. I'm totaly green at this forum stuff, but managed to get registered anyway, so.....Have a 07 TE610 that I wanna sell and get a 09 TXC250. I'm bout mid 40ish and love to trail ride in the Bald Eagle State forest in central PA that is very rocky and just too much for the heavy TE610. She is awesome on fire roads and jeep trails and still fun on the single stuff but a 250 is the thing I want.

So anybody interested in a very fast good condition used thumper let me know.

SOLD YESTERDAY 1-10-09 And also bought and 08 leftover TXC250

What's up everyone,
My name is Blake Young and I am from central Illinois (home to the INFAMOUS Hall's Cycles!!!)! I am very new to this site (was a transfer from, should I say it, TT). A little background on myself. I race strictly Motocross and have been around the track a couple of times. I won the 2006 Illinois District 17 State Championship Points Series in the 250 A/Pro class (on a Honda that year, boo). After having accomplished that, I was offered an unbelievable program to ride Husqvarna's for the 2007 season out of Hall's Cycles in Springfield, IL. Needless to say, with the vast knowledge of Jay Hall, my determination to succeed, and the help of all my great sponsors (7602, PLEASE help support this growing aftermarket company and let's keep him around A LOT longer making him develop more and more products for these Husky's), I was able to win the 2007 Illinois District 17 State Championship Points Series in BOTH the 125 AND 250 A classes! That about wraps up my success's as a MX rider (not mentioning the B and C class titles that happened years prior which led to this point). I got married to my 8th Grade girlfriend (been dating for 9 years through high school and college) in December 2007 and she is now full-time in Grade school. With her in school and not working, we simply don't have the money for me to race (I don't even have a bike to ride at all) so I am unable to race until she gets out in 2 MORE YEARS!!! I have been fortunate enough to get together a little money over this past year and am now talking with Husqvarna hoping to put something together for 2009. People always ask, but no I do not have my official "Pro License". Although I believe I could get that without a doubt, I just never had the time and especially the money to do the traveling it takes to get it (I have been in college at University of Illinois the past 5 years and just graduate myself, so I was pretty much a broke and busy college kid during my last few years of racing). I know I could get the product/bike support to chase my Pro License, but just don't have the financial funds for travel and entry fees (luckily, my Dad is retired and is more than willing to drive me wherever we need to go - which he has done the past several years). Oh yeah, I have also been an Instructor for Tony D. for several years for his Tony D. MX Schools (in case any of you may have taken it before, or your kids). I could ramble on and on, but will spare everyone's time for now. Thanks and look forward to meeting all of you! Here are a few pics from the 2007 season for fun. See ya (hopefully in 2009 ON THE TRACK and IN FRONT!).

What? Is that legal in Illinois??

:lol: Sorry, Blake, I'm just funnin' ya! That was the funniest thing I've read here on CafeHusky in a long time:D Typos make for great reading:p

Welcome to CafeHusky, Blake. We're glad to have you, and good luck with the racing thing in 2009:thumbsup:


WoodsChick
 
That is funny! I always re-read everything before I post it trying to catch any dumb errors LIKE THAT (obviously I missed that one)! Anyways, I had been dating this girl since we were both in the 8th grade (been dating for over 9 years when we got married). Thought I would clear things up so I didn't get into any LEGAL issues.....:lol:

:lol: Yeah, that's the one thing I noticed real quick about the 610: it eats tires much quicker than my 450 did for some reason:D

Hello, Brainflex! Welcome to CafeHusky:cheers:

Greetings. New to this forum, over from TT. I've had an '06 TE250 (300 actually) for about a year, which is my first off-road machine in about 20 years. In the '80s I raced So. Cal Dez District 37 in the 175 and 250 classes (on Huskies).

In addition to the TE, I have a KLR for long-distance off-road trips (e.g. Nevada Black Rock and Baja) and a r1200GS for...well...pavement only.

Cheers.

Mark.
 
Hi there....I live on the Gold Coast in Oz... Have just recently bought my first Husky.. she is a TE610 08' model and I got her as i wanted to expand into longer distance riding.. In the past I,ve always ridden two strokes (mostly KTM's...sorry), still have an oil burner for single track stuff.... but found my new girl after running her in from new... still with standard gearing will only go 135 to 140kph. This doesn't seem right to me and was hoping for some input from people in the know... Cheers curlyman
