• 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 am new to the site, but not new to Husqvarna's, infact I have owned 11 of them since 1999. Growing up I had always raced motocross, however in my later years got involved in Supermoto right at the time supermoto was coming off of its high. I am now bikeless, but have my eye on the 2010 Huskys. Glad to be here.
 
Hi all,

I have an 09 TE610 and an 05 TE450. I recently just sold my 72 250CR. Glad to see a Husky specific site. Quite a few familiar names around here....
 
hi folks

a respected adventure tourer led me here...

I might have to buy a Husky. I have ridden dirbikes all my life, my first motorcycle being a 1972 Yamaha 250MX.

I have always been a fan of light weight, and all my dirtbikes have been two strokes. Now that riding areas are more and mre restricted, I am considering buying a street legal dirt bike. I had a friend with an ATK 406 (Rotax 2 stroke) that was street legal. I currently ride a KTM 250MXC and a Yamaha R6.

Can a Husky make me happy?

Woo-hoo! Another sponser here at CafeHusky! It's really nice to have you here, Jim. Your seats look quite nice. If my rides on my 610 keep getting longer and longer, I might have to consider a new seat at some point:busted:

What? We have a respected adventure tourer here at CafeHusky?? That's news to me :lol:

It's cool that you're here, Butch :thumbsup: And yes, a Husky can make you very happy. Don't tell the unwashed masses, but a Husky can also turn gray hair back to brown, and turn ordinary water into pinot noir:applause: Having a plated dirtbike is the coolest thing ever. Once you ride around with a plate you'll feel like a caged animal when on a bike with only a sticker. Don't get me wrong...I majorly love my 2-stroke dirt bikes and fully plan to buy another in the very near future, but the freedom of a plate is intoxicating. I highly recommend it:)

Just checking in to say hello.

I have two Husqvarnas;

One is a 2008 TE510 - I bought it new last year. It runs perfectly and I love it!!!

The other is a brand new 2009 SMR510 just brought home from the dealer today. What can I say? I Love it too!!! (haha even though I only have 3 miles on it - I know it's gonna be great)
 
Well I finally made the move and retired the ol bluey WR400 and stepped into an 09 TE 450. Hope its the right choice. Feels great to ride and gotta love electric start.
 
Hi All, I just got back from the local dealer where I bought a WR300. This is my first Husky after a few years with a KTM450EXC, and the first two-stroke that I've had for a long time. When I started riding in the eighties I always aspired to a Husky WR.

Welcome Muz. Coming off a WR and jump'n into a TE 450 will be fun. Are you thinking of putting a plate on her? Ya you gotta love that "Magic Button"

Good day nqjim glad you're on board. Some pretty good threads on the WR 300 in the 2 stroke forum. I got to ride a buddies a couple of weeks ago and it sure pulls down low in the rpms. Geez almost like a thumper.:D
 
Noob here

Hi gang- been lurking for a while - just picked up a new 2007 TE250 (been sitting at the dealer's for 2 years) and have started the modding process (per the collective Cafe wisdom- thanks, everyone!). Drop me a line if you're ever around Morgan County, West Virginia-:cheers:

have been lurking here at times for about a year. Been riding and racing offroad for 17yrs. I have had a few husky's, 93 WXE350, 98 TE410, and a 95 WXE610. I still have the 610. Bought it last fall with almost 10 hrs on it, all original. I just ordered a 09 TXC250 from Jeff at Tasky's, should be here next week. Tim
 
Congrats for the site Coffee

Im from Chile (thats the reason for my far from perfect english). We are lucky to have Huskys here back since a couple of years. I'm the happy owner of a leftover 2008 TE510 after owning a 98 XR400 for more than 10 years.

I falled in love after i first saw the bike, changing my trusty and loved xr and up to the moment im really happy with the purchase.

netra709 sounds like quite a collection. You'll have to post a pic if you'd like to share with all. Nothing like waitng for a new bike to come in.:D

No Huskies yet, but soon. I've owned a multitude of both street and off-road bikes, and the garage is currently max'ed out at five. Should I sell the bagger or the dirt tracker or the one-off YZ200 or my YZ167 woods bike ... and don't even think about the SRX6 'super single' ... to accomodate the TC250?
