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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Looks like some interesting reading in the next issue of TBM

Honda's trail-legal CRF450XRL is just one of the bike's featured in the August issue of TBM. Because in the next mag we've also tested the new range of 2014 Beta enduros (both 2T & 4T), ridden The Welsh two-day enduro on a Yamaha WR250; pitted a Yamaha XT660 Tenere against the BMW G650 Sertao; and we've also got the story on the brand new two-stroke Sherco enduro bikes. Plus David Knight reveals why he won't be riding the EWC next year... and we take a look at the direct-injection two-stroke dirt bike you may well be riding in 12 months time. And would it surprise you to know that it might be Japanese? All this plus lots more in the August issue of TBM!​
And now you can download a copy of TBM onto your PC/Mac/desktop browser by simply clicking the blue arrow and signing in to pocketmags.com.

Do you guys get the Mag in the USA or look on line at it ?
Always a good read and good honest tests that has stood the tests of time really well
The guys test a lot of bikes local to myself, would be nice to get them to test the 165, Now that would be a good read :thumbsup:
 
Good and honest reviews from which they take a great deal of heat at times.
They don't only push the latest model bikes.
Sometimes the content is only a week old, compared to 2 months or so for Dirt Bike and MXA.
Writing style is superb, my favorite magazine, been a subscriber for 3 years.

I have had a subscription to them for a number of years, great mag. I love their yearly review of used bikes and what they offer. Always good for a few chuckles.

If you can talk them into a test, I will ship them a kit.

There are only 3 bikes that make me want a 2 stroke, Beta, Sherco, and a CR165 :). I don't even want to think about a 300i lol

I use to think there was nothing better then a walt smith Cr 165 I raced it just about everywhere with good results too BUT I cant leave anything alone so I started to play with a Wr 300 Well with the help of Zip Ty Racing and David at Fast Bike Industries[ [Ohlins man] Well some time later and a bunch of money I now have a bike that so far works better then my 165 sorrie Walt The 300 might be old school but it just flat works for me now Heck it seem to work just fine for Letti against the Factory effor from Husaberg and the best rider in the world Garham Garvis.I looked at a new Husaberg TE 300 soon to be a Husky 300 and I just can not beleive for the cost of the bike plus spares which would be over $10,000 dollars That the Husaberg could be any better.So will keep waiting maybe by 2015 a new Husky 300 might just be something special As for the Beta 2 stroke to me it is not anything special also not worth spending $10,000
to be on the startline

I already know the Beta and Sherco aren't going to make me faster, they just look cool lol. I'm dreaming with those bikes anyway. Way to far out of my league

What all did Zip Ty do to the bike?

Advise know how God where do I start this will be so off topic but you asked
Let me make a list and post it but I can tell you a few thing right off the top that made the bike a winner
Cr electronicts Arc lever with a motion pro cable shorten 3 inches FMF pipe with turbin core sparky
Rear big brakes with shark fin Dunlop 51 tires with mousses
Then there is the Ohlin suspention from FBI Since I installed them and have been doing the Nationals on the 300 I have one 3rd place the rest are either a 2nd or a first. Only rode the 165 1 time this year at a National and did not do well

I am just glad your 300 works so good. Really speaks to how good that older design can be.

In Canada, I used to be able to find it once in a while, but not lately. Should probably subscribe, as it's really the best mag, by far.

Si and editor Barni for their consideration.


Will let you know of any progress,

Cheers

Alex
