• 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 everyone,
New member, "Team WR", I just bought a 1979 WR250 enduro, had a 1979 WR390 enduro about 20 years ago (regret selling it).
My new bike is pretty complete, so I am looking for information to detail it.
This Husky thing with me started when my friends mom drove us to see "On any Sunday" as a kid. Had to have one ever since.

Regards,
Joe
 
Hi everyone. I just found this forum after searching for parts for my '09 TE610. I think I've put about 150 miles on it so far (about half in the dirt) and I love it- worth every penny. I'm still hunting down aftermarket parts for this bike and intend to use it as a true 50/50 bike. I have a bunch of vintage British bikes (mostly Pre-unit Triumphs) so I bought the Husky to get me to/through the trails. Glad to find such a Husky specific forum. Cheers, Pete
 
Hey cafe husky I've got a '09 sm510. It is a beast but I'm always trying to make a good thing better. Mostly ride on the street but I might start taking things to the track if I can get my skills up haha

Welcome. Been waiting for you to say hello :)

It is indeed growing. In 7 minutes the site is going down and will be moved to a larger hosting account.

There is no way I can do that these days, I'm buried with other things in the backend trying to make things better. :)

Hi,
My name is Chris Simpson and my son, Joshua, has just picked up his brand new TE 250 2010 model from Paul Feeney Group, Australian importer, and I am keen to see and hear what other experiences that peolple have had with this bike. Joshua races enduro and is still a junior. He intends to compete in the Australian off Road Titles in 2010, a series of events similar to GNCC's.
As we haven't raced a Husky before we are interested to read other peoples opinions, that's why I registered on Husky Cafe. We have the support of the Paul Feeney Group, however to have a successful race season you really need to do your homework.
I will have to ask Joshua about threads and posts as I am from the old school and not really computer literate.
We both appreciate the opportunity to be part of Cafe Husky and look forward to discussing our bike with fellow Husky riders.
Thanks for your time,
Cheers
Chris Simpson
 
Hi,

My name is Joe and I am addicted to dirt bikes.

I have had contact with quite a few members and was nudge to join quite a while ago. I currently own a 2003 KTM450SX that has a crap load of changes from stock. I also own a 2009 Husaberg, needless to say the KTM sits A LOT now. I ride mostly in the desert and live in the Vegas area. Run Motoz tires, that I get from Kelly (the KTM has a Motosportz damper too). I am the owner of TurnTech batteries, and have been lurking on the site reading the posts about the batteries for a while, now I have the opportunity to reply.

Welcome J D. You won't go wrong with the new TE 250. Are you thinking of slapping a plate on it.

Yes, full road registration is required even for riding State Forests. :lol: They come to the Dealers with the compliance plate on already, meeting all the ADR rules. At least I don't have to muck around with any of that. :applause:
