• 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 do not think so More and more 2 strokes showing up here in the so calif desert to do battle against the big 4 strokes
At this weekens National Shane Watts is signed up to ride a KTM 150 against the big 4 strokes That will be fun to watch
Plus both Ty Davis and some of his Factory team are racing the WR 300

Times are changing remember when cars and trucks had big blocks
and almost everything had a V8 Same is true for big bikes even Honda uses a 450 for Baja and the Darkar rallie is now 450 s
I think the nail in the coffin is comming for the 4 stroke as they just do not know what to build .Long live the 250 and under 2 stroke

I want a Husky 144/150 (factory) so bad I stay awake at night dreaming about them! :D
 
I think it's okay to let the sport evolve...even if we end up riding 2ts again the foray into the newer 4ts has been worth it. Things didn't happen fast enough 20 years ago for anyone to really know what they liked/needed...We now live in a time where that is a reality. I'm glad the market is so volatile, it unleashes ingenuity on the part of the companies...they can never lean back in their chairs and think the market has been satisfied. And you don't have to buy what they are selling...that is entirely in your control.

4t, 2t, back to 4t, back to 2t...who cares? Enjoy the ride
 
KTM stuck with the PDS because it didn't want to admit it doesnt work as well as a conventional linkage systems...like Jeremy McGarth was said that it will never win a supercross title with that suspension and he's yet to be proven wrong.

On the 2t debate...why is there a debate? 2t's aren't going anywhere until 4t's are as cheap to maintain as a 2t!
 
Two strokes are what I like and I will always have a few in the shed.

Rode a CRF250X last week and I will say that it was a fun ride. Would I shell out my own money on one? No. Not that I have anything against four strokes. I wold love an old TT500 or some such classic. But untill they make a cost effective four that isn't going to cost an arm and a leg to pair I will stick with my old 430XC.
 
cairoli 350sxf 2-2 in the second round of the italian nat MX series behind Phillapaerts on his yzf450

some mention/rumor that in some of the MXGP sand track (holland for example) races later in the year he may use the 450sxf
