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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

All 2st So what would be your next Smoker?

I have ridden a TM before. Good quality. A production "FACTORY" bike. I just don't care for the perimeter frame. ANY PERIMETER frame. Cumbersome, hard to work on and too rigid. I also feel that TM is over priced compared to other brands. I think my current Husky is the best handling bike that I have ever ridden. Honestly. And I have ridden quite a few. Production and factory. My WR150 has surprisingly great low end. Good top end. I think that the 167 kit would fill the 200 gap and not be at any disadvantage.

I'm thinking I would stick with the WR 250. I am the current owner of a Gas Gas 250, and have part interest in some rental bikes including a 250WR and 300WR. The Husky WR 250 may not have the "latest" chassis, but if price is a factor at all, the Husky is the best bike out there. It's fast, it turns, it's the easiest thing in the world to work on, and bonus, there's rarely a need to work on it unless you actually broke something by crashing!

Yeah, what he said. They are the best "value" in offroad, IMO. But, I might do a 350. Been looking for a nice 360 to get a motor from.
 
Once I get my 09 WR250 set up to work with my 6'6" 210 lb lanky self the only 2 smoker I will be in the market for is a Gas Gas trials bike. I guess if the right Sherco came along I might reconsider.
