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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Hello, I'm flyin... and I'm a premixholic.

I have ridden Suzuki's my whole life, now they don't make two strokes anymore.
So I'm looking at other brands, the WR300 is at the top of my list.

Welcome aboard Flyin.
You've got that wr300 at right spot on you're list. I've been looking to add one to my stable too.

Just in case anyone else wants to help you out they now know where to look. :cheers:

Thanks for the welcome.

I'm new to the site, and I'm a new Husky owner, since I bought a '93 TE610 today. It was a long distance sale, it's in California in the SF bay area, and I'm in British Columbia, about 80 mi north of Vancouver. I'm not new to bikes, I've been riding for more than 40 years, with some roadracing thrown in. I currently own two ATK's - I like Rotax air-cooled singles - and I bought a big-bore XR650L as a ride for visiting relatives and friends.

The idea of the old 610 appealed to me, and I've played with dellorto carbs on Ducatis. The plan is to fly to Sacramento or Oakland and then ride back on the PCH. I've ordered a "sweet cheeks" seat pad, to help keep monkey butt at bay. It will also help extend the range, which I'm told is probably not more than 80 mi on the skinny main tank.

I look forward to living with the 610, I figure it will be a good trial run and eventual back-up for a newer Husky, and then I can get rid of the BRP!

Oakland is a great airport with transportation available via bus to 'BART', the local subway/train system that can get you to many places!



Start up a thread in the Main forum and keep us posted on your trip, maybe I'll get a chance to buy you a cup of coffee :cheers:
 
Hello, all
I’m new to Café Husky, I just traded my 04’ 250x for a 09’ TE 450 (power up kit installed) so far I love this thing. I think it is geared a little too tall for the single track trail riding I do in Idaho.

Welcome to the Cafe. Would love to see some pics of the bike and the terrain you ride. Idaho has some awesome riding.:thumbsup:

Welcome Stace! :thumbsup:

We have a few members from Idaho, hope the weather is improving. Probably the best place to ask about gearing might be the 4st section, we also have a ride report section if you want to show off your area, or even this main forum for talking about nothing in particular. :cheers:
 
Intro & '09 TE310 street legal in Canada??

Hi,

I'm a new member that is returning to off-road riding after a long layoff. I grew up racing mx in the 80's and had to leave the sport for typical reasons (university, career, kids, et al...). I live in Ontario Canada and would like to know if the '09 TE 310 (or any TE for that matter) is street legal in Canada?? Have these bikes past homologation for Canada??

Best regards,

Max

Hi Max! Welcome to Cafe Husky :thumbsup:

I'm not sure about the Canada stuff, maybe ask in the 4st section? There are others from Canada that might know.

Hi
I'm the same tm_enduro that is all over the motorcycle boards. I live in Washington state and ride woods primarily. I used to race, preferring technical courses (such as survival enduros) and WEC type events, and despised hare scrambles / GNCC / WORCS type races. I'm pretty opinionated about what I like and dislike. I like all sizes of bikes from 125s to 500+ thumpers, and have even contemplated getting a Fantic 50cc enduro, just for kicks.

Welcome to CafeHusky, tm_enduro :cheers: I, too, like posting on several other forums. You might notice that this place plays a bit different than most of the other forums. We're a pretty mellow self-policing bunch here and, as such, don't require as many rules as those other places:)

Are you still considering the new TC250?
