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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

terra's in stock?

Does anybody know of a dealer that has a Terra in stock?
My dealer doesn't have one and claims that they can no longer order them.
 
Where are you located?

Have you thought about buying a Strada. Same bike, just different wheels and ABS. For what many Stradas are selling for, you can buy the Strada and a spare set of spoke wheels/tires to Terra-fy it and still come out cheaper.
 
So I talked to a friend of mine that's much more mechanically inclined---He agrees--it's not that much to terra-ify it.

Regardless, my dealer says they can't get a Strada either. I have no idea how to do this, or where to buy one from. I'll have to have the dealer get involved in shipping it via Alaska Air to Anchorage.

Does the board have a dealer they like to deal with? Obviously, I'd like to deal with somebody in the Northwest region.

Bills Motorcycles Plus in Salem. They are a sponsor here. Two weeks ago several of each model on the floor.

Sounds like an opportunity for an awesome fly-and-ride! :D
 
Did hear that there will be 2014 Terra's and Strada's for what that is worth. Seems that all of the 2013's in port and in Italy were omalogated by BMW and not by KTM so cannot be imported. Husky is going to get this fixed at one point and issue bikes MSO's as 2014's and get them out to the dealers, still at discounted price. WHen is going to be the million dollar question. Parts is also "shutting down" for hte big move from Bethlehem PA to AMerhurst, Ohio or somewhere in Ohio. this is going to be in the first part of June. BMW has "let go " all of the hired parts help minus one person to handle all the parts fills at the moment. Don't break anything till the middle end of June!!

That's great, as I am now officially in the market to buy. Now Im playing with buy as soon as I can, or wait and see what the line-up looks like for 2014, even with the rumor of 2014 Terras/Stradas. Hmm, decisions, decisions....

This is quite probably the best news I've heard in a while. That implies more support (somehow) for the MOSS (or substitute) - and hopefully another year of parts availability.
 
Interesting. That explains why Grand Prix was having such a hard time getting a response from Husky on the rear fender replacement on my bike. It litterally took them 2 weeks of hounding various people to get the approval to order the parts. I've been on the phone with GP nearly daily. I finally got the call this morning that they are ordered and on the way. Knock on wood they actually ship out and get here quick!!

Good luck with the purchase. Great machines, just caught up in the world economics, but they aren't going away anytime soon. Just to be sure I said it right, the TR's will be unchanged etc as they appear to be 2013's with new MSO's. I am actually curious on how that will work on the VIN. The 10th digit denotes the year so a 2013 is a "C", a 2014 should be a "D". So I will be wondering how they will do that with the ones in port so to speak. Vin will be a 2013 but MSO a 2014? That should confuse the hell out of the helpful and so understanding and compassionate DMV ladies.....

Haha!! You used "compassionate" and "DMV" in the same sentence! :lol:
Good job, Toyboy; You win the internets for today:thumbsup:

Yes It is!
My dealer told me that my Terra would be a 90 day wait, so they offered me a nice discount on their demo with 200 miles.
Will have it home Saturday!
