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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!

I'm Dan and I live in Southern California. I have five bikes in my garage and my 06 TE 450 is by far my favorite. I don't get much time to ride or post lately because of school, but I have a TXC 510 in my sights as soon as I can figure out how to buy it.
Kudos Dean on a nice site with a perfect name.

Glad to get in on the ground level!
Hi everyone. I'm from upstate NY and Im going to sell my new VW GTI because I just don't drive it anymore now that I got the SMR510
. Have to where my snowmobile gear in the winter I guess!!
Its good to see a Husqvarna specific site. I really think Husky's are going to come back in a big way in the USA, especially when BMW gets there ducks in a row.
Congrats Coffee!!

Hi Coffee,
I just seen the link from TT and signed up. Wish you the best of luck with this new site. I noticed Oregon Rider (Jeff) mentioned the layout of GasGas Rider's Club. I'm a moderator over there and agree that the general layout has helped keep things organized and invite good discussions.
Here is a good reference for layouts.

I just found this site
I'm a 2 stroke guy! I've got 2 Huskys an '01 WR360 and an '07 WR250. I've swapped the engines between the bikes because of the seat height and the preferred riding areas for the different machines. So I guess I've got an '07 WR360 and an '01 WR250!
I've also got a Gas Gas TXT280 trials ride.

Mark - I live in Beaverton Oregon and ride a 06 WR125 and had a 02 WR250 before.
I had to go by "NwetRider" on thumpertak (even though it is kind of a dumb name) since NWRider was taken. At least I got in early here so I could pick the name I wanted.
I hope this site takes off.

After riding asphalt for three decades I attended the first Laguna Seca MotoGP. Soon thereafter I found myself on a friend's Mille R in 15MPH northern CA switchbacks. A strange looking Austrian bike was bringing up the rear and giving up nothing other than top end. What.Is.That.Thing.??? More importantly, how can that filthy pig with like 27 different bags attached keep up with the line of sorted Italian twins up front??? He told us more about the KTM 950 later over malted beverages, I found his several weeks of off-road camera pix intoxicating.
My dirt biking experience at this juncture consisted of two borrowed rides separated by 20 years. The first was on a Yamaha 360. I showed up that Sunday morning and found myself amongst storm troopers outfitted to the nines. Ruh-oh!
The five of us headed out, my bud who lent me the cobwebbed 360 leading on his new Yam 400. Soon enuf we were all side by side looking straight up. I remember thinking, "There's no f'in way a motorcycle can go up that hill". My bud promptly went right over the top ... WOW! Riders 2, 3 and 4 came up short. All eÿes were now cast on the nOOb ... with ten fingerprints indeliby left on the bars the nOOb went over the top! BIG.mental.wood.!!!
A similar hill was on the menu later. Riders 1, 2, 3 and 4 went right over. Deep breath and off. This nOOb got close to the top before looping the bike. I was laying flat on my back still holding the inverted and idling bike by its bars. My bud was screaming, "TURNIT
FF", the other three were simply all molars. They annoited me, "360". 
A ride on a DRZ400 came much later. I was totally exhausted at the end of that day but had stayed on the bike, nothing memorable otherwise.
Several days after Laguna I was vacationing with the family in Colorado. We rented quads and ran the Alpine Loop out of St. Elmo. Late in the day I marveled at a KTM125 rolling past us through the boulder fields. I never imagined I'd be rolling through the same boulder fields the next summer on a filthy pig KTM 950 with my own assortment of like 27 different bags on the way to the Arctic Circle.
The following winter I agreed to do the TAT with two friends. A TE510 arrived soon thereafter to begin the transformation into a flyweight D/S. Little did I know the adventure that lay ahead on such a capable bike.
I hope to run my first enduro soon and am looking forward to meeting some Husky folks at Joe's NE Gathering gig ...

Kurt here, I'll try to stay on track and not bastardize the threads too much.
I live near Vancouver BC, ride a few of the local trails but prefer to weekend it in the interior of BC where the trails are pure heaven. I have always said "stupid hurts" and 7 weeks ago I was a little stupid and haven't riden since. I took a nasty 40 mph spill and seperated my ac to the 3rd degree and torn a few more ligaments in my shoulder. I plan on testing my hard work I've done in physio this weekend but have a feeling more than a couple of ibuprofen will be needed.
FYI, you should take my posts with a grain of salt for I use the internet to lighten up after/while dealing with life's curve balls. Significant comments rarely apply.

Adam here, Naples/Boca Raton FL (I hate it here)
a euro tiddler fiend, but especially love my 07 wr 125.
Plan to start racing this year, and when I finish my Civil Eng. Degree, I'm hi-tailing it to the mountains.
