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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Husky TE 510 Centennial

Looks like a sweet ride. An SMRR in enduro trim :D Does anyone know of one of these bikes being bought? I've never seen em til now..
 
I saw one for sale somewhere in the last few weeks. I don't remember where. The asking price was WAY less than the original list price. They were originally asking ~16,500 Brit' pounds when new. It's a nice ride, but that's a lot of money for something that will get pretty scruffy if it's ridden like it is supposed to be. I'd be afraid to ride it.

Yep ... thats why I was curious on how many actually got sold ...
 
That big Husky Dealer in Germany used to have one and on there website. I am pretty sure even the side panels were made of Carbon Fiber.
 
I was lucky enough to win the one that was raffled by Husky Sport 5 years ago to raise funds for the ISDE team (with a ticket a mate gave to me!). It has been decorating my lounge ever since, it takes up a bit of space but makes a nice alternative to a tree at Christmas! I've no idea what I will do with it long term, can't see me ever riding it.

It's numbered 30/100 on the tank, Ive no idea where all the others went I think 4 or 5 came to the UK officially. I'll try and post up a few more pics when I get a chance.

Wow.... You are a very lucky soul! I would say it is meant to be ridden if it had some purposeful parts like the SMRR has (sliper clutch, built to extreme engine) but this bike appears to only have the show parts; carbon, aluminum, and Titanium bling.. So I would stick to showing it off indoors as well. It is certainly a work of art!

Though some of the bling parts to add the benefit of weight loss. :D Does anyone have a comparison against a regular TE510? D1 MAD, how much does your bike weigh?

*EDIT*
Did some digging. regular 2006 TE510 is 108KG dry weight, and found the curb weight (Same as wet weight?) to be 124kg. So that means the centennial, weighing 118kg wet, lost 6kg!! Wow
