Hello all,
I am hoping for a recommendation for a mechanic in WA state. I would like to have heated grips put on and ideally get a switch installed for the ABS. Please refrain from reminding me to do the work myself (apparently I am well aware of my limitations). Thanks, David
Well this is what it looks like at the moment, rainy day in central WA. The beat up shack in the back of the photo has two bikes (one running) parked in it. Note real tarp roof. Pathetically legit. Welcome to the country. The tarp in the front of the shot covers my honda generator that is back...
I have just ridden 2000 miles and can say I love the bike. I use the town mode in traffic, on the dirt and in the rain and sport mode for everything else. I found I like 5th gear for a lot of my riding and use 6th for the highway only. I still have to try the different traction controls. Simply...
Welcome from Washington State USA. I work in Argentina every winter as a guide on Aconcagua and love your country and people. Enjoy your new motorcycle.
The video says it all... Reliable. I belive the video is a awesome backhanded compliment and gave me a honest review... It is heavy. Love the S-10 and yes it is cool that someone would complain about that video.. Life is strange.
[Wow, so many people who don't like to offend people by riding with loud pipes but happy to smash their personal opinions on this forum. ]
Hello squarebore, I ranted above about the sound, not as a personal slight to any of my two wheel family but more because the title of the thread was...
I have always called them dirt bike toys.. Jet skis, ultra light airplanes, snow machines. loud motorcycles, helicopters. They are fun when you are on them and they suck when you are not. As an example riding a nosey Harley is most certainly fun but listening to a couple of them pull up to the...
Of course "if the shoe fits where it" and for me the ungodly expensive Neotec II fit. I love the ability to scratch my face or run in to pay for gas without looking like Im on a snatch and grab mission. In helmet bluetooth is a game changer for me, no more carefully placed headphones routed to...
I found myself at the Super Tenere becouse I was looking for something decidedly more comfortable for long tours and yet still able to handle the dirt roads that I drive daily. I was attracted to the large sport touring bikes like the FJR but felt the second I dropped it in the mud I would be...
Thanks everyone for the warm welcome. Though I said that I had read the haters claim that the bike was boring, I new all motorcycles are fun. I toured Nepal with my wife on the back of a Chinese Suzuki 125 for 12 days and loved it. When I bought the S-10 at 4pm yesterday I jumped on and road...
Hello all, I just bought a used 2014 S-10. I hitched a ride from my home in Central WA to the thriving Craigs List market of the greater Seattle area. My new to me ride came with many goodies and a few loose ends (some BS electrical work that I will try and track down and disassemble). All and...
