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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Hi all my name is John and my 1st Husky will be delivered to my home Friday night. My wife surprised me by getting me a 09 TXC 510 and I can hardly wait. I look forward to learning about the Husky's and members on this site.

Howdy everyone. Glad to stumble on in here. Just purchased a vert slightly used 2006 TC 510. New to Husky's after riding a KTM 525 MXC for the last few years. Excited to get the bew machine dialed in for some desert riding!
 
Just wanted to say hi and introduce myself. I''m from the high desert in socal and I recently purchased an 09 510 SMR. I'm not new to supermoto but am new to euro bikes. I ride mostly canyons (hwy 2, asuza, big pines hwy, 9 mile, hwy 138/18 ect.) with the occasional track-day. So far I'm loving the bike and this site. Thanks for looking!

Wow, 9 mile is a pretty far piece from highway 18. You really get around. Welcome to the club.
 
Thanks for the welcomes and the compliment on the bike! I'm not too sure what she'll do yet as I'm using the up-tite racing style break in, and have yet to surpass 1/2-3/4 throttle or ~5000 rpm. I can tell you that this bike shifts like a dream, so far is sewing machine smooth, and is an awesome handler!:thumbsup:
 
Cool please give a full report after you break her in. My next street bike is most likely going to look exactly like yours. My 09 TXC 510 will be in Friday night and I can hardly wait. My dealer said it will out run my current ride (07 450R Honda) I sure hope so. Enjoy!
 
Greetings

Hi All

I came across this forum last year and have been back several times since. It seems to have grown really well. Hello from UK. I'm a vintage Husky fan. Used to ride a 74 CR250 back in the 80s. Have just got my dream bike, an 83 XC500.

See you on the boards!

Welcome aboard you're right this place is Magic.:D
 
Greetings from San Marcos, CA

Been cruising this site for a while. I have owned a 81 430 composite (CR/XC 80,81,82,83,85) bike for about 6 years and enjoy some post vintage racing now and then. I am currently researching possible intake and exhaust upgrades/changes. I am hoping to optimize my midrange and add some overrev.
