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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Looking for bike choice advice

Ok, I've been racing offroad mostly hare scrambles with a few enduros thrown in since 1998 on the east coast of the USA. I had made my way up to the A class and was getting pretty good overall finishes. I've now worked my way back to the 50+B class offroad. I was a KTM rider until 2010 when I raced a Husaberg. I loved my 2010 FX450 Berg. I did pretty well on that bike but it was hard to slow down. When it was time for a new bike, I test rode a bunch and chose the 2015 Husky FE350. Now it's coming to be time for a new bike. I have to admit, I miss the bottom end power of the 450 and I'm not a big fan of shifting a bunch on the FE 350. The 350 does feel lighter in the woods. I keep debating on the FX450 or if the FX350 would have more on the bottom. My current FE350 has a ton of aftermarket gear to keep the performance up. We only occasionally have a tighter course anymore but we still have flowing woods courses here in Virginia. I'm looking for advice on bike choice. I'm looking for more bottom end power so I don't have to shift so much. I've even thought of making my 350 into a 360 or 380 when it's time for a top end. Just not sure that will be what I'm looking for or not. So far I haven't seen any KTM or Husky demo rider anywhere in Virginia listed. Best choice would be to go ride them but I don't see that opportunity.
