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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

KTM 350 freeride 24hp / 218 pound playbike...

I followed that link for the ossa explorer. To counter that ktm would overbore a 200 two stroke and put it in a frame with similar torsional rigidity. Down size the forks and brakes etc and probably get to that weight if they wanted to. 350cc of clutch and gear oil?
 
Yep I keep checking on the Ossa Explorer and the more I find the better I like. It's 163.14 lbs dry and has 13.38" of ground clearance with a 32.28" seat height. All of this with a 280cc FI 2-stroke! I'm 99% sure one will find it's way to my place.

If the Ossa FI pans out and there are no major problems with these bikes I would seriously like to own one of each. The three Ossas pretty much cover all my off road wants. The only thing about them that really has me worried is what the price tag might be.

And parts availability??

I would love that explorer.... I mean LOVE IT!!

I would probably sleep on the couch for the first week I had it, with it parked right next to me...
 
The Ossa explorer is bad ass. Love the KTM freeride too. I could see picking up one of these as a used bike in a couple years.
