    What do we now think of the bike

    Winter storage

    I have lived in Colorado for 20 years. All my bikes have never been winterized. I double the recommended STabil, rode whenever roads are not slick. If bad roads I start them for 30 minutes every couple weeks, on the warmest day available. No battery chargers, and no heated garage...

    What big trip's planned?

    Where did you ride your tenere today?

    Well, can't say it was today, cuz it was minus 4 degrees here in Salida, Co. But last weekend I had a sweet ride to Ridgeway, Co where I camped out at the Hot Springs at 20 degress. Then I set out for Owl Creek Pass. But 15 miles up I found snow pack. I know on the ice I will not be able...

    Searching the country for hot springs on a Super Tenere

    Thank you , a sweet and short RR. Loved that sunset pic and the time lapse. I and wife spent a night at Crane Hot Springs, great spot, remote, SE of Burns. Crane is on the map. Sorry you had to encounter that "alien of a human, or some such sub species."

    The Mitas E-07 tire thread merge-fest

    My turn; Just went from a worn out K-60 to the new Mitas 07 with the center strip (rib). I think it's a great tire. Running 24psi front and 26 rear, 2-up on 4 different dirt passes=Marshall, Waunita, Monarck, and Black Sage; they grip! Not one unstable moment. And my wife DOES let me know...

    MotoPumps New Mini Pro Inflator Now Available!

    Thank you Gentleman. I'll try the 10 amp replacement fuse. If it blows the fuse using that, then I'll know I need to go straight to the battery. Almost as easy as a light switch.

    MotoPumps New Mini Pro Inflator Now Available!

    Will that cig lighter connection work in the Tenere socket without drawing too much current. I think I remember our plug is fused to a 5 amp and the pump is 6 amp. I know nothing about that evil electricity, a light switch is pretty cool though. :D

    Colorado was great! Next year Arkansas?

    We were planning a fall foliage ride the first weeks of October in the Deals Gap area. A rally of Big T's just before would be like icing on the cake. What-ever you planning dudes decide, I' m sure it will be great.

    how many of you boys in Texas rode to work today?

    slightly geographically north---------------- I bet none of us Colorado boys rode to work today. It was -10 at 7:30 and the roads iced up real good. But the T Beast in the garage looked like a hungry lion ready to pounce on an innocent little Impala. " Settle down big kitty -- your day will...
