Re: Deal of the Day-Rox Risers--Price Drop--- I'm interested, how do we transact the deal? Mark, Michigan

Hey there Northwet Supertenerers . . . Hope you're weather makes for a good turnout. LOOK at the "non-technical" open house I went to last night in rural Mesick. Gene Payne's ONE-OF-A-KIND museum of every year of K-model, XR flattrack racers. There were 30 of Harley's neat racers all in one...

M I C H I G A N -- N.W. Lower

here's a poke for all to wish Jeff a HAPPY B-DAY . . . my first born. I guess I'm responsible for him putting excitement between his legs. But he's the one that talked me into the Super Tenere (I knew it was a good one but I let him think it was him that got me on one). Here's wishing him a...

Hey there, welcome . . . I'm over on the dunes' (west) side . . . Beulahland. Welcome to the fold. I don't miss my fjr after saddling up on the "X-Ta-Zee". I haven't put a lot of miles on her but it's probably the best all-round bike I've owned (had a few). There's a couple of Tens around...

I did. Used a (gray fabric covered) back off a small office (roller-type) chair. The two bolts holding it to the spring-type back support were used to fit to top box. 2 holes into box, voila. Just haven't had wifey on back to give me a report but it should work fairly well. Would put up a...

Here's my deal . . . first time I was in the dark, I had just changed my right bulb. Put it in (H-7) with tab to the top (the other one was installed like that). Nope, wrong way. Looked at diagram in manual and the bulb tabs were placed on an angle (going in at 7 o'clock) and noticed that the...

Hey there TCAdv: Haar here, I'm down the road from you (US 31 - South) near Honor/Beulah. I don't get around too much but I'm here enjoying retirement. I got a BLOO one. My Seattle son may have pm'd you, he's HoebSTer. Bought mine used in Cols., OH last November and have only put a couple...

Oooohh, aren't I supposed to wear jeans when I ride? Since 90% of my riding is made up of shorter trips of 15 mi. or less . . . NO, I'M NOT GOING TO GET ALL DRESSED UP to go have coffee with the boys. And no, I drink bourbon. And yes, my ass has hit the pavement at 60, on a Honda (Wing), and...

Don't you just wonder why we're trying to figure out a way to make this machine function according to the most basic requirements of a motorcycle? If you look at the front half of the bike, it is a marvelous thing. The FJR I had was almost perfect in engineering. Now we're cutting up trash...

FINALLY ! ! ! I didn't think I should know more than the engineers at Yamaland. I was so enamored by the Ten that I didn't realize there was no rear mud guard/fender. First noticed this when riding in drizzle, my ass was wet. I see that someone has one on this site custom made for the problem...

Re: Still pondering... Oh yeah, about that tucked under sidestand: first "flaw" I noticed. Fixed it though. I have a thing for these things as I was "thrown off" an '84 Goldwing because of a kickstand being left down (pre kill switch era). I have the hockey puck fix for this . . . on the...

Re: Still pondering... My 2c worth: I'm 63, riding since 15, had many types, recently '03 dl1000, '95 Tiger 855, '06 fjr, dr650 (rode in WA mtns.), '93 TDM850, now have well used '12 Tenere. This bike feels WAY different and suprisingly nimble. Now I haven't ridden it much as I'm in N. MI...

HEY YA'LL: Thanx Jeff (HoebSTer) for inviting all on the FORUM to wish me "THE BEST" on my birthday (63 yrs. since the election of Harry S. Truman) THANK YOUs to all of you wishing me Luck with my age and my new toy . . . I think I'll call her X Ta Zee. I think it's in the slower color of...

Hi Guys, I finally popped for one. Couldn't stand it any more. It's used, 27K, and I've only put 60 miles on it. Coming from FJR, have a TDM, NX650, and had dl1000 Strom and 855 Tiger (and many others). Must say, this Tenere is snappy and seems agile so far. Not sure how it's going to like...
