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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

to do or not to do hmmmm

After replacing the fork seals on my boss's 2013 wr250 practice race bike I of course had to test ride it...feel in love!! Of course everything from suspension tuning to recluse clutch etc has been done to it. Plus full go over after every ride...it's just so darn smooth on the power band transition...thinking of selling my 04 husky cr125 and moving up. I am a solid 190 pounds after all...I've just only ever owned or rode 125s... decisions decisions
 
Well I have had 125's, 500's, 250's and still can ride the 125's faster even at the old age of 56. Maybe it's because I spent more time on them who knows.
 
Well the answers in the post BUY YOUR BOSSES BIKE
Convince him he needs a pumpkin just get the saddle from him an never look back,keep 125 for frisky outtings
 
First off it depends on where and what terrain you ride on. Out here in the desert there is no way a 125 is even close to a 250. My wifes KTM 200 is fast but my 250 eats it. Now up in the tight woods the Smaller framed 200 thrives.
 
Right single trail western pa woods... I can't keep both. Would have to sell the 125...that's where the hard decision congress in....Plus the payments on the five grand for the new one

I'd stay on that 125 for tight single track stuff. They are just a dream in that stuff to me because I'm 5' 8" and I weigh in at 150 pounds. I have a KTM EXC 250F and I really don't ride it much in the tight stuff these days because I prefer to ride my WR in that stuff. My KTM has the advantage when we are flat out flying and the need for speed is required for longer periods of time. I guess for you, it would just be a matter of preference of what you feel more comfortable riding.
