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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Boy was I wrong!!!

I rode enduro`s from mid 80`s to late 90`s . Mostly on big bore Husky thumpers. My last enduro bike was a 1996 WXE410 this was one of the best bikes I ever rode. I quite enduros in 1998 and bought a 1998 TC610 and started riding motocross. Had a baby boy in 2000 and just about stopped riding. I sold the 1996 410 and bought a new 2004 TE450 and just could not ride the bike very well. Had the susp done it was little better but I just kept wishing I had the 410 back. I didn`t ride much the last few years blaming the bike. I changed the trans in the TC610 to a six speed and put lights on it and thought sweet I can get back to riding again.
Sunday I went north with a buddy to ride he has a 1999 TE610 I took the 610 and the 450. We rode a 40 mile loop switching back and forth between the 2 610`s I was in heaven. The second loop I pulled out the 450 and holy @#@@$ was I wrong!!! The 610 will be my DS bike and not my woods rider. All I need is to get the susp on the 450 to work as good as the 610 and I will be very happy..

Yeah, very different bikes. I can see how your first impressions were tough when you had so much time on the single cam bikes.
