• 4 Stroke Husqvarna Motorcycles Made In Italy - About 1989 to 2014
     TE = 4st Enduro & TC = 4st Cross

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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Who are using to insure your Husky?

Looks like I'm paying $257 full coverage for 2 bikes with Geico. An Aprilia SXV 550 and a TE 250. It's interesting how the rates vary even with the same insurer.
 
I think that rates have to do with demographics of a particular area. And displacement too. My TE 450 costs about 110 a year for liabilty, while my KLX 300 goes for about 36.00 a year.:excuseme:
 
Of course

Dirtdame - that must be because you can wreak so much more havoc on a Husky than a KLX. I knew I wanted one :lol:
 
Since no one else mentioned it, I am now using AAA, or more specifically CSAA - the California version of AAA. $120/y?

It actually lowered the other things I'm insuring with them, house, cars, etc. Overall it was a great decision because we also have some young drivers on the cars and those rates are fantastic. :thumbsup:

I have AAA too, but like with most things/people in life I have had a conflict with them. I had a truck, subaru and my bike insured with them.

Looking at it, I was paying like 400 for the truck, 100 for the bike and not using it so I decided to sell the truck.

Well, when I did, AAA didn't count the bike for the multi-vehicle discount, so I lost it, and then the bike became 'full time' transport & my bike rate went way up and I think the difference was like $25 a year less. I shoulda kept the truck!!!


OTOH, I did have a bike (BMW f650) that sort of caught fire and melted its wiring harness in the AAA parking lot. They paid $3300 on a 4k bike with no drama at all.

Just bought a TXC 250 and need to insure it for the bank. I've tried 2 insurance companies and they don't insure Huskys. How much are you paying also?
Thanks

I pay a couple of hundred bucks per year through State Farm. My agent, though recently retired, could never get Husqvarna right. I think my last insurance card said Huskzrana. The correct VIN was listed so I wasn't too worried.

Once you insure this bike you'll never go back to not insuring one. Knowing that my 7,000+ machine is covered in case of fire and theft is a HUGE deal. I only rarely leave the bike in the back of the truck and if I camp it is chained to something but the peace of mind is worth a lot.

Geico- $70 a year for liablility and underinsured motorist/property damage. Have 3 street only bikes with them also. Their service is phenomenal; wife's Triumph got knocked over in Denny's parking lot by old lady; witness got license plate followed by a police visit. Next day a Geico rep wrote a check for a very generous amount based on Triumph dealer's assessment. Progressive through USAA was not competitive on the rates. Damn near double with all the bikes. They were competitive until the street bikes were added....
 
63.00 a year on an 06 te450, bought new. foremost ins. co. but also there are 5 bikes on that policy, also thats full coverage.
