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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Best Bike For the Job

I've just come back from 3 days riding fairly fast lanes, gravel trails and small back roads in Normandy, France. Nothing narly but some good off road stuff. I was on my te630 with pu kit, air box and exhaust sorted. 1 tooth down on front. I was with 2 DRZ 400 E's, 1 DR 800 and 3 KTM 690's. I can honestly say that throughout the 3 days I wouldn't have wanted to be on any other bike but my Husky. It was smooth, powerful, light and manouvreable. Perfect for the terrain and in my opinion the best bike there. The KTM's, and I am a fan of the brand, were fickle and stalling at times, I was not tempted at all.
I should also say that when I bought the Husky it had only the pu done, it was underpowered and unimpressive, well I had just stepped off a KTM 950 Superenduro. Now I love it****************************************!!
That's all.
 
This is good to know for when we are out there on our sorted 630"s that we are riding pretty much the pick of the bunch and that we should focus on enjoying what we have rather than believing that there is some much better bike out there that we are missing out on like that there KTM 690.

You must not have ever owned one is my guess. Don't listen to the koolaid haters, buy one and try for yourself. Not for everyone (no brand is), but plenty to like and nothing to hate.

Hmmm! One of the glider pilots in the club on the airfield where I work has one. And he´s the competition, so I can hardly change sides.

the TR650 is going to be a good bike for this stuff too. I'm really impressed with mine. The motor is to die for, great street manners and good off road too.
 
I just got back from a day of green laning with my SM610. (Fitted some TE Wheels this morning)
Have to say its a great bike for what it is. It's not too expensive to worry about bits of crap hitting it or whether you drop it.


My brother has a 690 Enduro R and he is paranoid about dropping it or getting any damage.
