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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

TE449 woods riding

here is a link to a video I shot saturday out my back door.
Don't let anybody tell you a 449 isn't a woods bike.
this is with stock gearing.
the weekend before this video I was in Nevada riding.
Haven't had any issues with this bike at all. :banana:

The out-my-backdoor rides are the best!
 
Mate that looks like a great place to live and ride-envy, envy.
Thanks for sharing.
Did a ride last Saturday with my old mates and some new chums. Really hard techo stuff, grade 4 and 5. One of the new chums had a 449 and it went really well, even in the really tight stuff-much impressed.
 
That's awesome! I am lucky too. I can drive 12 mi. of 2 lane backroad to hit the woods on my 511.
I think they are great woods bike too.
 
If you got the skills, you can ride most bikes through anything... I was on single track with my TE250 taking a break on side, and saw a couple dudes ripping on heavy hogs DRZs through the single track, muddy / rocky trails keeping a very solid pace.. and they were telling me they had just got off main road from a 35 mile trip. So yeah.. If you feel comfortable on it, ride it wherever !
 
Nice!!
Lovin the music, especially the Dukes theme. Goes to show the rider makes the bike, not the other way around.
 
I can't do it for very long on my DRZ, it's 70 pds. heavier, less suspension WAY LESS POWER, than my 511.
My WR125 would make a TE250 seem heavy, so yea what ever floats your boat....I like Em all!

Yeah.. I was pretty impressed by these guys ripping the DRZ's.. they were the 's' street versions, which are hogs from what I have been told. It looked and sounded like they modded them tho. But from the time I saw and chatted, to when they took off from what I was watching.. they were handling them like 2 strokes 125. Online you hear lots of talk about bikes and modifying them perfectly. In my area, Redneckville - people will take any bike and ride them hard through pretty much anything.:thumbsup:
 
that vid was cool. I def think the te449 is a decent woods bike and works well doing it, only downside for me it its a little too tall for my 30" inseam. I first started riding with a 74 Yamaha enduro 125 which did me well at the time with a bald trials tire on it, so If i could do it anyone could take whatever they wanted in the woods becasue I am no pro rider by any means.

I can appreciate the inseam challenge. Mine 28" I do fall down sometimes because my feet don't reach the ground when I dab. Oh well It is a laugh for my buddies when I fall.:lol:
