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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

125-200cc The Never Endin' (unofficial) Tiddler's Only Thread......

1/8th liter's aint joke. Take's a real Joe or Jane to ride one.
Most is happpy with a a larger displacement, sitt'n down, grunt'n their way through the heck in front of them...

But when it get's down to it, Tiddler pilots have a burning desire to do more with way less. And- You know what I mean. Especially when yer off the front, waxin' the big bore's and layin' it down mreeep! style through the sticky's. You ain't always the winner in an all out drag down a fire road but, when ya git some, clean that tricky climb or fling it 'tween the trees in style trust me, THEY remember after it's burger 'n beer:30 time.

"hey, there's that 125 Husky again...."

And, there's a certain satisfaction in that for me. You?

125's (and over-bore off-spring) to the FRONT....show 'em.

mreeeep!

I would be very interested in the new 150, but am worried about me being a big fatty . 95kgs

But dont you just miss the wind on throttle response of a 300, like an unexpected log or something????
 
Interesting. back in 1992, I moved from the open class (KX500) to the 125 class (WXE125). I thought the same thing but really, you tend to ride a liitle different. The 125 follows the trail, rather than bull dozing down it. In stead of tensing up and absorbing the log, the 125 floats over it. Staying light on the bike, loose and allowing the bike to go where it needs, vice hanging on for dear life with a hand full of throttle.
 
I want one of these little jewels so bad I can taste it. Now that the 2012 models are coming with the 144 kit, it makes it even tougher to resist.
 
Last weekend I rode my KX-KDX 200 hybrid at the Quarry Run Dual Sport in Hancock, NY. It ran flawlessly, and its torquey 200 motor pulled me nicely up all the hills. I came home to my '08 CR 125, which was in need of new headset bearings. Well, after a two-hour struggle to get the new bearings in, I took it for a little burn around the yard. GAWD I love that little tiddler. My 200 has the guts to make hill climbs way easier than the Husky, but NOTHING flicks a turn like that one-two-five.

It'll be Wallybeaned this winter, methinks...
 
I figured I might as well trot out these old tiddler pics...

Here is my CR125 at the 2010 Jack Pine Enduro. It's the perfect bike for tight singletrack.

This was practice. I didn't race it due to a minor issue with the clutch and rode the Can-Am again in stead.
 
I'll have to post some ''1/2 way thru the season'' pictures. This is ''Before'' we started the season, but it does not look near as good right now.

Last night I just replaced another broken engine head brace and a bent linkage arm.
Not exactly a Timex...but this thing is taking a licking and kind-of, sort-of still ticking!

Keeping up any race bike is constant no matter the brand...
6 GNCC and 3 local/national races done and 8 or 9 to go to finish the season...

Plus countless hours on the practice tracks, we'll see...

Not sure where we are heading next year, but I don't think we'll put a 125 in the fray...

I have to say my 125/144 got kicked to the curb when the amazing 511 arrived but I really want to take it out again. Hard to have much more fun than a 125. Love topping a hill bigger bikes struggle on and taking pix while they work on it. An amazing bike and the fun factor is through the roof.

You all know the stories on both my 2006 and 2008 CR 125 Bullit Proof Plus a few AMA Nationals
titles with them . Both 125A and Over 50A Both bikes went over 3 years before the lower end was worked on .My 2008 in now at Georges because George wants to do a 167 BUT some parts are on National Back order so i said make it a 125 again . Bore still looks good so lets start season 5
with the same standard bore 125 is fast enought to get it done .
 
It is going to have to take some serious abuse to be as solid as George's. I am a little leary as the oem 144 cylinder is not as solid in the rear transfer area as the pre-08 cylinders. If it holds up I will have it at the NW Gathering.
