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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Gee Matt, he still has a TE250 08 in the shop. :busted: But, you may like the 310, 450 or 510 better. :D Did we have fun in Baja or what!
 
Baja S.F - B.O.L.A.

All, Thanks for being so patient with David and I. We had a blast. To schedule / time South Of The Border. We did not mind 1 minute of delays or rough roads. THAT"S ALL PART OF THE EXPERIENCE. Thanks again all for the patience. Thanks Mike and George. ROCKhttp://www.cafehusky.com/forums/images/smilies/doh.gif

Hey, I resemble that remark!

:lol:

Seriously, though...I'll have to second Savage's remarks about how cool everyone was. No bizarre deviations from their on-line personas, which is a good sign. Everyone is pretty much straighforward and what you see here is what you get in person. Except, uh, my language is a tad cleaner here :busted:


Anyway, welcome to all the newcomers and maybe we'll get the chance to meet up on another ride in the future:thumbsup:

Hi WoodsChick!
Now, you can welcome me, too. :thumbsup:

Hi everyone!
My name is Jim, and I'm a dirt bike junkie.

I'm an old phart from South Arkansas (just turned 56) and have been riding motorcycles since I was nine.
My "serious dirt" riding started with Yamahas, back before their "DT" series.

I got my first Husky in '85, a 1982 XC250. (Yamaha wouldn't put a six speed in their open class enduro bikes.)
The XC250 was my primary race bike for 20 months, until my new '87 WR430 came in. I rode that one, and another identical '87 WR430, for 9 years. Along the way, I had several other Huskys, and still have two complete '87 WR430s, a '79 390 Auto, and a '83 WR125, in addition to the '82 XC250.
Currently, the '82 XC250 has been completely resurrected, and is my primary AHRMA Cross Country race bike. (On it, I earned third place for 2007 in the Post Vintage +50 Intermediate class.)

I have a stable of other dirt bikes, almost as many as WoodsChick, but my primary trail working, play riding, modern hare scramble, and enduro bike is a 2006 GasGas DE300.

I ended up here today by following Rick Ramsey's Husky TE610 web pages, and I really like the new 310. It is the perfect size for the woods (Maybe a 330 or 350 is "my preferred/perfect" 4-stroke TST size) and is very pretty. (If only it wasn't a 4-stroke. :D )

I hope to get to ride with you all some day, and some of you again real soon.

If anyone is in my vicinity, or feels like making the drive, come join us next weekend for a long weekend of woods riding. We're having a pretty neat little Ozark Mtn get-together/ride Feb 27, 28, & March 1. It is costing us two things:
1. $25 each for the weekend to the owners of the campground/gathering area (located on the trail, right next to the Ozark National Forest)
2. a good friendly attitude.

The ride is in the NorthWest corner of Arkansas.
Here's a web page that one of the guys put up about the ride. (11th annual Wudi Winter Fun Ride):

Good Riding and Best Regards!

Jim Cook
PS. Mossbarger still stocks their ten petal replacement reeds for their reed cage for my '87 WR430.
 
Hi, have bought a 1974 WR400 Husky to race vintage motocross in Western Australia, had four rides last season but before that haven't been on a dirt bike in 30 years, WAY too long...also have a CB350 Honda classic roadracer, so it's smiles all year long nowadays....
 
Welcome aboard all, this is the place you can find refuge from the norm. Common interest is what we all have.

Well, not all of us.:busted::doh::busted:

Have fun on your ride (everyone always does:)) and welcome to CafeHusky :cheers: (That's Crown Royal in the cups, not beer;))
