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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Anyone know of any lightly used TM 250 enduros or 300's out there?????

With all this and that going on. I have admired the TM's for years. Anyone see either any new ones or the best bet for myself a lightly used 12 or so 144 or what I would really like a 250 somewhere????? Thanks!! OR A BETA???
 
Fletch,
I will also hit up Pete he may have one of his personal demo bikes available.
Email sent, also may see him this weekend at the Anza race this weekend, R
 
from Pete.
Hi Robert

I will see you at the ranch this weekend

The Idaho place I think is disconnected. Sent a message on facebook to TM Racing and they replied to email me. Doesn't seem like they really want to sell any bikes if any are available. Looking at Beta and 13 carryover porky Gassers(a 200) SIDENOTE Cleaned up my 13 144 Husky yesterday and with my knee injury last year and buying it middle of season (sent the Gasser down the road) The nibs are still on the back tire! Tough to justify getting rid of the 144!! Just got cortisone shots in the knee to try to help it. Looking at a good deal on a 2012 TXC 310. Will title and license and use for a playbike! Was hot on the TM for a moment and did't really find one..................................... If a smoking deal were out there on a demo or slightly used I would consider it****************************************..........
 
Thanks for trying like I said they say resale sucks but you can't even find a late model one to compare.....................

IN STOCK NOW:
• NEW 2011 TM EN250Fi 4T
• NEW 2011 TM EN300 2T
• NEW 2011 TM MX250 2T
 
Just get a Beta and be done with it. I don't think TMs are coming in this year but I could be wrong. Call Cycle Playground in PA, they had a fast kid on a 144 last year, I think he is on a KTM now.
 
Sweet sent email on the used 12!! Also I thought the 11 demos was just and old website that may be expired. Ill try them again. Thanks MUCH!!! With Beta bike of the year last year (thanks to Cody Webb) it may be to mainstream for me LOL I tried a craigslist search like that snd could not find. Need to figure out how far they are from me!!
 
Yee Haw!!! Thanks so much****************************************! BOUGHT THE USED 12****************************************!!! getting SHIPPED BY mIKE NEXT WEEK!! great GUY****************************************! close on a beta but they have KTM background. Sorry. Gasser to heavy. Sherco no kick start. May keep the 144 or sell and grab a spare older TM for practice. STOKED STOKED STOKED!! Or if something really strange happens and I see a new CAGIVA I'm all over it!!! Thanks for you guys help!!! Mike seems like a great guy and knows his stuff!!!
 
that rules, congrats! :thumbsup:

i was ogling the TM smoker Cycle Playground brought up to the JDay Expo at Gillette Stadium a month or so ago. hot bike! had a billet APT SmartCarb on it.
 
OK you guys are funny! The Dark Side??? Come on you guys been watching reruns of Barabous Collins show or what?? LOL I am prepping the 144 to sell but still in love with it and it is in like new condition so I have to decide what to do. But yea. Two guys naming a bike company after their sons first names (TM) with a passion to build Works Like Italian exotic. SWEET! Sounds like a good experience I hope!! As soon as this snow melts I will get ride reports and if I still have my 144 will do some back to back time testing to see which bike I'm faster on. I still feel the ultimate bike may very well be a 165/177 kitted Husky!! But for now I will dare to be different while I keep my hopes up that something either happens good at the old Husqvarna factory or move on and except the KTM/Husky thing and hope that in the near future the Husqvarna marque separates itself with more then platform sharing. It is what it is and it is business. Understood. It will just take time to heal from it all! In the mean time I have to figure out how to not get caught buying that available oversize factory aluminum fuel tank for the TM...................................................
 
Fletch I really am proud of you!! I went very mainstream with my 2T choice (TE300).....I was as far as 90% into the Beta 300RR deal and the bike was being held for me, but I passed and one of our crew (the French guy) bought it so it stays in our euro trash family.
You are not mainstream at all!! good on ya, I checked out Petes TM250E yesterday, again they are a work of Italian artisan shop perfection. Pics please and get er dialed in and get out and riiiip!!
Pete swears by his super trick Scalvini (cone) work of art pipes for all around performance.
If you are selling your well dialed CR144 drop me a PM, we may have an instant buyer for you among our crew here.
 
Tomas e Mirko = TM
My fave thing about TM is that its not just TM.
It's corporate name is TM Racing. These are not trail punter machines. Ground up state of the art Racing machines from their Kart engines to their Motorcycles. Out of the box works bikes.
 
I rode a newer 250 2 stroke a year ago or so, was a handful. Stiff and abrupt. Yep, a race bike. Very cool but not for me. Much better looking in person than in pix.

But you also know tuning is everything, even with no chance of electronic box adjustments, timing can be slotted, backed off, richer jetting, different pipe,gearing change, flywheel weighting etc etc
