• 4 Stroke Husqvarna Motorcycles Made In Italy - About 1989 to 2014
     TE = 4st Enduro & TC = 4st Cross

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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

TBM magazine te310 vs ktm 310 special

Cheers guys.

I guess there will be an online version eventually, the problem we have is that companies that produce the software for online publishing charge us approx £1000 per issue! What's that, about 1500 (US) bucks? So the only people who would profit from it would be the online publishers, however we would still have to print the paper version for sale elsewhere. Online is the future but the costs need to come down first...

BTW thanks to Coffee for your kind words, mate. Much appreciated

One of the guys in our provincial affiliate clubs produces a monthly online full colour magazine using resources that are either very cheap to purchase or open source.

We also have a few online mags such as Eastern Dirt Magazine and a blog style mag call OffroadMotorcycles.ca - might be worth contacting them to see if there are better(cheaper) options for you????
 
From a business point of view, I'm not sure it makes sense to have any online articles published if a paper magazine is published with the same content.

I've seen a few teaser articles where only the first part of the article was displayed, and that certainly did not make me feel like I should subscribe. I've seen paid access only, then people go in together and share login details - and then they show up copied/pasted online...

I may have a couple of ideas for this particular situation that I will follow up on.
 
I will vouch for TBM as the best bike magazine you can get.
They are totally indipendent and have had some great bust-ups with manufacturers over the years Gas-gas and Kawasaki being the most recent.
So although they have always said good things about the TE310 dont spend 100 bucks if you only want to read good things about every Husky!!
 
I called Barnes & Noble (Leominster, MA) and asked about getting a TBM mag ... they said they didn't have it available?
 
^^^

I get mine from the Barnes and Noble in St Cloud, Mn. I tried to get it somewhere else to avoid the evil big box store and the small bookstore said that B and N had an exclusive.
 
What I wanna know is if that 57 chevy is a right hand side drive or did you have to import it ... american p'ups aren't that popular over there are they.. can't believe they were sending them over in 57.

You need to do an article about people from NEW england .... riding in OLD England ...being from NEW Hampshire I will happily volunteer my services!! you can fly me over in the tbm lear jet!! Is there any decent riding in OLD Hampshire??? Maybe you can set me up with a test bike for one of those GBXC races!! Isn't there some crazy beach race over there .. that sounds like fun!! Drop me A PM we can work out the details!!
