• 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 was out for about the same amount of time and went with a Husqvarna TE449. After a couple mods I absolutely love the bike it is treating me very well! It is also street legal so I can ride it to the trails and around here there are a few trails you have to be a licensed vehicle to use. Price was good, add FMF Powercore, reflash ECU, and a couple more little things, I found on this forum that just help it to run and start better. Best decision I have made in a long time(riding again) hope you find the same conclusion. :D
Best of luck!!
 
Welcome to the forum. What bike are you looking at picking up? Not sure where you are in CO but I recommend Big D Motorsports, awesome little shop.

They rent out the 4 strokes if you wanted to ride for the day and see what your into
 
New member here and first post. Also out of the game since mid '80's. I just picked up a '76 WR250. We're still working some stuff out with it, but so far, an awesome bike. Very forgiving. Would highly recommend it.
 
Welcome to the Cafe Husky. The bike you may want will always depend on a few things.

1. What type of riding will you be doing ?
2. How much do you weigh ?
3. 4 stroke or 2 stroke ?
4. How much do you want to spend ?


After you determine where your headed, then you may need to test a few bikes to make sure it's right for you.
 
Welcome guys, looking for new toys is always fun right?

One other thing to consider is state laws regarding types of power plants and where they can be used. Fir instance, CA has many draconian laws that affect what type of bike you can ride and where, difficulty in plating off road bikes converted for dual sport use etc. It if definitely not the 80s any more friends, and state air boards and environazis have changed things quite a bit in terms of the law and our fun.

So check the rules before you drop the coin. But fun hasn't been outlawed (yet) so go get some!
