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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

TE/TC great looking 2015 TC125 husky

Hmmm, ktm , err I mean husky 200? The 200sx from 2003/2004 was such a do it all bike. I lined up once against a field of 450's on that bike and was 2nd to the 1st turn. It was a fast bike, but handled like a robust 125.

Kind of on the topic of modding a 125, a few years ago a guy that worked with Chip Munn built a 125/200 hybrid. It was a 179cc I think. I heard it ripped, but unreliable to cylinder design.

Several years ago I was racing a 04 sx200 that had been to Pro Circuit with the motor. Old Guy having fun.
My son & I were racing the amatuer days before the Nats at Glen Helen.
My son was talking so much trash about his yz450 and giving me grief, I decided to race his class, 450 Novice, the next day.
I took the complete inside line and came out of the first turn in forth and ended up 6th out of 28 kids. Son was 19th.
Not bad for a 230lb old fart.

He was very quiet for the rest of the weekend.
 
Everyone of the husqvarna look Purdy. Now I want a new one.

I'm 300# and I rode my buddy's new 99 125wr at the time and it ripped with my old butt on it. I was impressed with it. We swapped bikes, he rode my old 78 cr 390 and I rode his 125. I stayed with the 390 on level ground.

At 63yo today if I was going to race super senior class I might race a new 125. Of course once I'm down to 250#.
 
You got to keep those upstarts in their place. One of these days they will beat us, but not this day..... lol.

Re the 200sx, it had the 2k-3 ignition in it, which is the heaviest draw, heaviest flywheel. It still spun up like a race 125. I put mine in to a 2009 125 roller. I wish I would of kept it. Dang bike A.D.D. ....
