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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

  • 2 Stroke Husqvarna Motorcycles Made In Austria - About 2014 & Newer
     TE = 2st Enduro & TC = 2st Cross

TE/TC TE300-wow are dealers proud of their bikes

When I lived in Oklahoma I bought my WR250 from Bills and even after paying $250 shipping I saved $1,500 over my nearest dealer who was a 3 hour drive away. I got tax and a street legal tag for it for another $150 in OK if I had a farm tax # it would have cost me only $35. State to state regulations are so different, it really makes no sense why.:excuseme:
 
Not much 2 stroke demand in the desert.


I had a bike shipped from Kansas to Oregon for $300 last summer. And still saved about a ton of money on the deal vs. buying local.

With all its 'issues' Washington state does allow us to plate offroad bikes if we get them into pretty much street legal configuration and have them inspected by a state certified shop. Then you have to re-title it (tax $$) and MUST maintain both plates(tax $$) AND off road tags(tax $$) or loose the plate.
Each year you renew your license plate tabs and your ORV tabs. (tax $$)

But I have a plate on my CRF-250x and anything else I want to (TE300 or ???).

:cool:

Bills and L&D are both top dealers and semi local to you (within a day trip driving) . As far as freight the dealer does pay this and is a cost to them so that seems reasonable to me. Setup? Well that should be included if you ask me and ridiculous to charge for.

Just got the email from Bills, they are sold out for the year. Email sent to LD...

That's interesting. I rode this weekend up here in NorCal (Georgetown), and of the 25 or so bikes I saw at the various staging areas 5 were 4 strokes. Everyone wants a light weight bike for the woods up here.

I called this dealer and they could not have been less interested in selling me a Husky. I wish I had known who to ask for....

I'm not sure who you dealt with, but I bought my 125 from Williamsport Honda / Husky and couldn't have been happier with the way I was treated. I dealt with Andy and Broc and they were both great. Without trying to sound like an advertisement, I felt like I was buying from enthusiasts that were just as into the sport as I am. I can and do recommend them.

All two stroke off road bikes built after 2002 are designated as red sticker bikes. They are restricted by season, and even restricted from being operated at all in certain areas. That's why people don't want to buy them so much here in California. In my area, they are banned from public riding land from May 1st until October 1st. In other areas further north, they are allowed all year round. If that seems bad, it used to be worse. Right after they made the silly law, the riding season down here was from December 1st to January 31st for a few years! It was hardly worth buying a new two stroke at all!:eek:

I just found it interesting how there is a difference between north and south. I'm sure the fact that the three OHV areas closest to me are year-round red sticker legal helps. However I bet that down in someplace like San Diego 2Ts aren't so popular due to the terrain (and probably the red sticker thing).
 
And on top of that some places such as Camino Cielo from SB to Santa Ynez is restricted to plated bikes as are many National Forest Roads so it is in any manufacturers interest to have a 50 state legal version of their off road bikes for the big state of CA and elsewhere.
 
Huh, that's weird, DMV told me a Plated bike can go anywhere a Green Sticker can go. This stuff is so frustrating. I really need to get out of CA.

Yup, plated bikes can. You can't plate a two stroke though, or any 4 stroke (closed course MX bike) that is a red sticker bike. Only four strokes that pass emission standard can be green stickered or plated. They have to have a federal and California EPA sticker that came from the factory on them also.
