    Arizona Trip 2022 Ride-Report, October 14th-23rd

    The guitar intro had me expecting to see Charlie Daniels riding into the picture, singing "they call me a Tenerist, I reckon that I am..." Great video!

    Scandinavian Trip 2023 - Questions/Advice

    I live in Western Norway (Bergen) and as far as SW Norway tips, here are some of my fave roads. From Kristiansand take the Rv 9 highway north. At Rysstad turn west towards Suleskard. That takes you to Lysebotn/Lysefjord, you need to go there (look at one of my previous posts as to why). From...

    where did you TAKE your Tenere today?

    I don't think they do anything but grade and resupply the gravel roads every now and then. Any chemical would be a big fat no-no in these areas. Oh and they get watered naturally every so often anyway.

    where did you TAKE your Tenere today?

    Over the past few days I have enjoyed the mountains and gravel roads of eastern Norway. Lots of entertaining and at times challenging road surfaces, and views to die for. Our country isn't all that large, but we've got a lot of scenery packed into it :) Hemsedal, along one of five possible...

    where did you TAKE your Tenere today?

    Last Sunday I rode from Bergen to Kristiansand, one of Norway’s southernmost cities. A straight-forward trip down there along the coast, a route I’ve travelled too many times to count. . Two ferries and no less than three under-sea tunnels along that route. About 7 hrs riding time. Not much to...

    I know, I do that too. The name is what the manufacturer decided to call that type of camera. I have no idea why.

    Hello from Norway

    Velkommen! På tide med flere kule nordmenn her (Finnes det noe annet slag?) Welcome! About time we get more cool Norwegians here (Is there any other kind?)

    Sierra1 "DOD Hummer" is my dash cam. Keeps me in line. Sort of. :) Damn thing keeps five hours of "evidence" on an SD card. BTJ would be thrilled. Sheikyerbooty I'm, actually "head honcho" of the local SPCA. Got to stay within certain limitations.

    Jotunheimen Road, Norway. One of my favorites.

    Another battery problem.

    I second all of the above --- just had the exact same question. Couldn't for the life of me understand why my dealer had supplied me with a battery that had reversed terminals. Not for one second did it occur to me that it goes in "flatly" even though I was curious abouit the space next to it...

    where did you TAKE your Tenere today?

    First real ride of the season, with my 26-yo son who rides an XJ6. Not a long ride, just a quickie out to Hellesøy north-west of Bergen, Norway. One of my great-grandfathers came from just south of here. And way back in another time, I served with the sheriff's office out here in the islands, as...

    What is a high mileage for a Super Tenere?

    Here's some scientific or at least physically visible proof of how the engine wears (or, really, doesn't...). Like many other YAMAHA engines, provided a minimum of care, the S10 engine can run 100K miles or more trouble-free. If you want it to. Also, look up Longhaupaul on Youtube and check out...

    where did you TAKE your Tenere today?

    The Arctic Circle Center is a bit south of Fauske; to get to Nordkapp on Norwegian roads you'd normally pass it. Unless you'd seek out back roads and gravel roads an detours via Sweden just to not scoot on up the E6. :)
