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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

I rode TXC511

robertaccio

Husqvarna
Pro Class
A quick ride through familiar terrain. Stayed in the more sandy dez whoop stuff than the single track we usually ride.
Bike feels normal nothing crazy exotic or weird. Its super linear all the way through the gears. The coaxial swingarm design was felt (like my old ATK) under acceleration over choppy stuff. It feels more normal than it looks, to me it has a very hi tech look everywhere especially when looking under and inside the bike, its packaged tight.
the seat makes it look really long but seating felt normal and even tighter than my 08TXC450. The only trait that I found and was told to me prior to riding was that under decel-backshift the front loads alot so weight transfer/leverage is strong, its a matter of adjusting to the machine, it will be very beneficial when weaving through tight stuff, but will need attention and aclimation for flat and slick corners. Bike I rode was set up stiff for Pro class Hi speed Dez H&H stuff. So even with my tank like heft and size combined with my less than AA/Pro speed the machine was stiff. Again most of all it just feels within the range of any of the brands nothing truly revolutionary or way outside the norm. That was from one blast around the zone.
I think that this falls in line with the run that Kamo/Burson had at the Parker, after only really riding a couple of hours they raced one and for a debut race run did really well as far as on course and speed goes Burson coming from the '10 Husky 450/510 chassis and Kamo from the KTM530 chassis.

We know you mean well by sharing, but you are just making us feel bad when we cant even sit on one, let alone ride it....:banghead:
