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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

You have to be kidding!

I think they look pretty cool. I like the price too. Too bad they'll fall apart like wet toilet paper as soon as they're put to some use out in the dirt.:lol:
 
What’s funny is that the picture has marking so you can’t copy it :lol::banghead::lol::bonk::lol:
Some people (or is it nations…?) have no shame :devil:

:thumbsdown:
 
That's awful. They didn't think enough about Husky to copy us.:cry:
I feel so left out, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.:lol:
 
Well, at least you can't get into too much trouble on one their bikes. They only make about 14 hp. I'd like to toodle around on the KTM version just to tick off the KTM riders in the area.:lol:

I don't think anyone takes their bikes seriously. Maybe as a beginners bike but no serious trail rider would buy one of those.

I would take them very seriously. Take a look at the massive leap in quality these bikes have made in a very short time.

I know ppl in my area that own a chinese bike and think they are great...for the price.

China will be selling very good bikes within the next 5 years IMO

That is the exact same thing people used to say about those newfangled Japanese bikes...

I wonder if the MTM really comes with oval wheels. Must be some advanced variable traction design.

As for taking them seriously it is time. Look how far Hyundi has come. From near yugo to near honda quality. Korea and China are on the march. Really this is our issue though, we need to change our insane trade policies. Not only are they not fair but we are being sold stuff littered with materials we find toxic and made by slave labor. It should not be allowed in the country. We abolished slavery a long time ago and should not buy from anyone still employing slaves / kids. EZ to turn a blind eye towards when you can't see it. Unfortunately EVERYTHING is being outsourced to these manufactures, including BMW / Husky.

Very much past the time for new trade policies even if we have to give up cheap crap to get there.

I think you have been watching too much US media. There has been a big push by US interests in recent years to create a very poor image of Chinese products in order to hurt the Chinese machine. China owns 25% of the US foreign debt ($800 Billion). Very bad situation for the US government. So a smear campiagn was launched recently in order to try to get US consumers to force US manufacturers to no longer produce products in China. If a large portion of US companies stopped manufacturing operations in China it would hurt their economy. That recent lead ban act was one such measure. Does anyone know how many products have lead in them? I bet nobody does....but how many ppl now think that most products made in China have lead in them?? How many US consumers will now not buy any product with the "Made In China" stamped because of the recent "news" stories. Why are these "stories" coming out now? Have Chinese manufacturers all of a sudden started adding lead to the products they build? Chinese made products were ok when China only owned 13% of US foreign debt but not now ;)

I think ppl really need to open their eyes to what China is really about and not just take what you hear on the "news" as reality. Some of it may be true but it could also be a very small snapshot of the whole story.

Chinese manufacturers will be supplying some very good bikes soon and I say good for them.
 
Lead

About the Lead thing, you can consume more lead in candy from Mexico then trying to lick it off a bike. But yet, I see no ban on Mexican Candy. :doh: :thumbsup:
