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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

on a positive note

After reading a bunch of "issue" threads about Huskies, I thought I'd post something nice. My bike is a 2011 TXC 250 - yes, just a little 250. This used to be my son's old race bike before he went back to Hondas. We had to rebuild it once (bottom and top) due to a stupid little rubber boot failure that allowed it to ingest dirt and wreck the head. Anyway...I run this bike now with the stock exhaust (a little loud :( ), 12 port injector and 2012 ECU. I am a Vet B rider, coming off any bike imaginable...KTM's (2 and 4 strokes) Yamaha YZ's, Honda CR's, Kawis and on and on. Small bores, big bores....etc. Anyway long story short, I still think that the TXC ranks right up there as one of my all time favorites. Handling/steering is awesome, clutch action is perfect (courtesy of the MME lever), the little motor makes more "usable" power than most bikes I have owned - mind you, at 215 pounds I am no light weight. I ride New England stuff as well as some GNCC's etc...there are only very few times when I actually wished for a litlle more power (long starting straights and the occasional long uphills), but overall I find the 250 the perfect motor for me. I did try the 310 and could get used to that, but I didn't like it enough to feel like I had to switch. I guess my point is, I like my 250 TXC :)
 
Blackhead Husky with Mikuni FI with updated injector and ECU= great little machine. Good on ya, keep her well oiled and keep riding/racing her!!
 
Good post. I have a pile of huskys and love them. Great bikes. All bikes have issues. Forums tend to bring people looking for solutions so it seems like there is a lot of issues.
 
I love huskies, in fact I bleed husky. I own 2 if I could I would have more. I started a race team and these are the only bikes I want to use.
 
I guess my point is, I like my 250 TXC :).

I say no matter what bike you ride[ yes even if it is not a husky] and you enjoy riding it good on you , this sport is all about the enjoyment because at the end of the day if you didnt enjoy it you wouldnt do it. If its a 125 or 2300cc whether you ride a blue bike, orange bike, green bike or a white/red bike that doesnt matter , I ride a Te449 and my oldest rides a KTM and the young bloke a Yamaha but the most enjoyment I get is spending time with them and thats what it is all about. SO WOLF ENJOY THE RIDE.
