Love the bagger more that I thought I would. Just always looking for the best exposure for my journey, and I know people have been itching to see/ ride/ buy the T7. I’d give it decent run in 12 months for sure.......

All good. If you want to help start a rumor, don’t you think Yamaha should find some guy known to beat his bikes to snot, to be the USA long distance test pilot to show the durability and long distance touring capabilities of the T7 a year before it’s available here?

172,000 miles in three years and you think Curechaser looks beat on? Of course it was beaten on! My bikes are daily riders. If it breaks, I roll it into the woods and get a new one. I know it gets some people’s panties all up in a bunch, but I use motorcycles as tools and replace them when...

Hello there, just for the record, I rode the crap out of my two Teneres because I’m on the road at least 70,000 miles a year and I didn’t have the time or funds to maintain them according to the proper schedule. Would they last longer if I did? Maybe. For me, It’s actually cheaper to replace...

I have to apologize for not spending more time here. I've learned so much from reading posts but I am embarrassed that I have not added much to the content. I have 172,000 miles on my 2012 black bike now and 24,000 on the 2013 white one. I rode 70,000 miles in 2016 and hope for 100,000 this...

Re: 100,000 miles. Clutch basket. Everything else has been holding up fine. Thinking about changing the brake fluid next year.

Re: 100,000 miles. No bath yet, no look at valves and 139,000 on the clock.

I put in the new '14 clutch basket. 139,000 on the bike now.

As promised, here is my story of what happens when you ride 25,000 mile with a loud clutch rattle. http://www.longhaulpaul.com/2016/04/07/tisket-tasket-broken-clutch-basket/

Bill Mayer Saddle. Couldn't ride 18 hour days without it. http://www.billmayer-saddles.com

If you run the video real slow, you get photos! https://youtu.be/g8GoVfO7j9k On the bike now, hard to upload pics with Gerbing gloves on. Thousands of pics on my blog Www.longhaulpaul.com/mileposts

Yes, I should have said Kilometers. However, last year was 65K, and I only quit my full time job in October. Hope to do 75K or better this year. Every mile is attending/ speaking at MS events, fundraisers or motorcycle venues. Only a couple of days left to join my yearly motorcycle challenge...

Hello, ST friends. As many of you are aware, I have been riding the heck out of my 2012 Super Tenere while attempting to document a million miles for Multiple Sclerosis. It now has 136,000 miles on the clock and as I travel thousands of miles on a weekly basis, I have been wanting to get a...

I've never washed or polished the bike. Not even the windshield. When I spit on The black plastic and rub it with an old sock, I see no signs of fading or oxidation. I see my own reflection. My guess is the dirt and grime are a great protectant and if ever washed, would appear as new. My...
