  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 The good the bad and the beautiful

Hi guys, I’m over in the vintage / left kicker forum normally, but have headed this way for some more modern advice.

I race a vintage enduro series on a 79 250. Most events are two days, you enter either day or both as they are run as separate days.

I’m thinking of getting a 90’s 250 to race the Sunday when the tracks roughed up, I’m I’m tired from the first day!

From say 1989 - 1997 are there any years to avoid, say a bad handler or worse particularly unreliable, or hard to find parts for?

I’m by no way an expert racer, so not looking for the most competitive bike of the eara, just something fun and reliable!

Cheers
 
Just look what parts are available first, Italian Husky sometimes are hard to find parts for
