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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

125-200cc 1999 WR 250

Nice looking 99. They are good bikes and it was the start of the production run from 1999 thru 2014 so a lot of the stuff is easily available. The one item that is lacking is OEM shrouds and side panels but you can buy them from DC plastics.
 
Not yet, and I may not. I have the two 70s Huskys, and I just lost spark again on the '74 250. I'm not sure that I want another older bike. I may wait a bit and go for a newer bike, and with an electric start. Trying to figure it out. Thanks.

the "magic" button is helpful, when you stall it in some odd angle and a bad position, just push the button and off you go
have one of those

I still have my Italian Husky's and pretty sad that l don't ride them anymore in the hard stuff only because l love that magic button as 2premo pointed out...plus it's less taxing on the body trying to kickstart a bloody 360 with the front wheel sliding, trying to hold the clutch in at the same time not wanting to slide back further..then you get 4 ft and stall it again...arrrgghhh:p

Not sure why the 360 didn't make it up the hill, they will climb anything.
