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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!

Welcome to the Cafe. I know what you mean about being hooked, Huskys are like potato chips "Bet you can't have just one".

Been riding and formerly racing orange for many years......Heck I go back to when they were blue with a silver frame and Lektron carburators, then white with orange frames......and I am actually picking up a new leftover 08 TE 450 tomorrow
......Hope this will be a great experience. I really like those Husky TXC's though......It is a disease, I have it, and there is no cure for it. At least I am aware of it, so that makes it OK, right ?.....
My better bikes so far: enduroized 2004 KTM 250 SX 2 stroke and enduroized 2004 YZ 250 2 stroke (both sold) and I have had many to my wife's greatest admiration
When I lived overseas at the age of 17, I raced a Husky 125 WR (the one with the yellow aluminum tank) and then moved up to a 250 WR (red aluminum tank). These were indestructible machines in their days. Only snapped the swingarm on the 125. Motors were bulletproof and required NO maintenance (Made in Sweden). I raced them in both MX and enduros. Handling was not the best, especially compared to Maicos.
The old days when racing was more like going fishing than going hunting.

I am new to the group. Just picked up a 72 WR450 basket case. Should be fun!
I live in Minnesota and mostly just trail ride with the occasional enduro. I am hoping to get the 450 ready for some vintage scrambles.
My main rides are a Husaberg 496 and a KTM 400(453)EXC.
I am glad I found this site, it already has been VERY valuable.
Thank!

Welcome to the Cafe Mud. I have a soft spot in my heart for the early 70 Huskies, that's when I got my first one. You always remember you're first.

Welcome to the Cafe Quasimoto
If you think that that the general "multiple bike syndrome" is bad wait until you get a little time on the Husky, they become a all consuming obsession. Next thing you know you'll want one of the light weight 125's and a 610 for the more casual work. Of course you'll need them in both the TE and SM format, maybe a couple of different colors to match you're moods.
just a short introduction. I am 39 years old and am from Germany. I am riding dirt bikes since 10 years already and just bought my first Husqvarna after several KTMs. I found that board while searching for heat guards for my bike. It is a modelyear 2009 TE 310 with some modifications already:

Welcome aboard.
So you're the guy who got the last one.
What part of Ca. do you live in? We are building quite a contingent of 610 owners.
