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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Am I gonna miss the 125? did I oops???

They mention Luca in the vid. About 8 years ago I did the Idaho City ISDE for the first time and he was there on a TM 125. He spanked everyone and was sitting in his shorts eating a sandwich when second place rolled in. He was crazy fast in the special test we saw, just amazing.

Congrats Joe !


I had my 08 TC250 off road for the first time three weeks ago(as opposed to track) and for the first 20 min I thought..hmm...feels heavy...turns slow...too much work compared to my CR125....I didnt like it....But...after half a days ride I ended up smiling... totaly tractable and can hold the throttle open for longer...and more forgiving climbing hills....at the end of the day...I think I am as fast on my TC....for less effort....for sure

Dont get me wrong...I love 125s..in fact I have ordered a new 09 WR125....I just like the simplicity and no fuss nature of two strokes....but mostly the exitement of the powerband....yes they can be tiring..yet flickable and light at the same time...you get out of them what you put in.....its all up to effort

Trust me... after your 125..you'll love your TE

but hang on to your tiddler..........if you can

I think it would be great to have a little 125 Bush Basher.
So are you gonna sell your 125 or did you already?
 
Stay away from the booze Joe, it won't help. I hear cupcakes can cure all, take 2 dozen and call us in the morning.

Might the very short ride you took on my 08 have had something to do with your deposit? I gotta say, until I was at the gathering, I really babied it and once I got back, and I had a little over 600 miles on it I really started opening it up. Wish I had been there then so you could've taken a few laps with it(with my new motoz tires;-). I think you'd really like it now.
 
Why not the 310 ?

If it were me thats probably where I'd be going. Either way you'll be ok.

If you ask this old man who races Desert and use to ride a thumper he would say
125 But that is me and i am out in the Desert .The TE does have a plate and you might ride it more if you live close to a riding area but if you only want to race then off comes the blinkers

The 09 125 WR is making me uber-horny.

I'm on my 4th Jack-n-Coke, the check book has been hidden, my savings is in severe jeapordy, SOMEBODY STOP ME!

:busted:
 
Kelly...are you talking about the 2009? I wouldn't get the 2008 model because it doesn't have the updated frame.
 
My 07 WR 125 is plated and legal so thats not the issue. need to be legal forr enduros. No issue on riding areas as anyone who came to the NE Husky run can attest to.......miles of trails and oodles of yet untouched land at the homestead (both mine and some ultra cool neighborhood farmers.
Gonna keep the WR125 around as she was so good to me and will make a spare and a "loaner" for visitors.
