    Dunlop trail max Mission

    I've got the Dunlop Trail Max Mission on the back of my S10, and a Mitas E07+ Dakar on the front. The Mitas has about 7,000 miles on it now, and the Dunlop about 3,000 miles now. I'm VERY pleased with the performance of the Dunlop, both on and off road. I've had it in gravel and some mud and...

    What you did to your Tenere today??!!

    Like Bill_C said, it's just a brake line extension that came with the Helibars. The little black rubber cap covers a bleed valve.

    What you did to your Tenere today??!!

    Been workin' on the bike for the past few days, between honey-do's and other stuff. Removed my old bashed up and warped T-Rex crash bars and skid plate. Beat the skid plate out and cleaned it up and re-installed it. However, when inspecting the crash bars, I found a couple of cracked welds and...

    Black Hills Yamaha Super Tenere Rendezvous July 22nd - 25th, 2021 - Custer Crazy Horse Campground, Custer SD

    YESSIR! Count me in!! That's a terrific invitation that can't be missed! Good cookin' PLUS homegrown blueberries. We've got a couple of bushes, but we have to fight our German Shepherds for the berries. They love 'em as much as we do. They eat 'em right off the bush.

    Here's a link to a new vendor I just stumbled across. https://motocampnerd.com/ They specialize in motorcycle camping gear and their line of stuff is impressive and I'm familiar with quite a few of the lines they carry. All good, proven stuff. I've ordered some items from them. They are...

    Loud Arrow Exhaust

    Go buy a vintage American muscle car (or maybe a V12 Jaguar) from the late 60's or early 70's with a big block 426, 427, 428, 429, 440, 454, 455, or 460 engine, with a really lumpy cam in it, and install headers and a set of the stubby Flowmaster or Cherry Bomb or Dynomax mufflers on it. Make...

    Anyone bought the new SW-MOTECH Pro Side Carriers yet?

    I'm going to buy some soft luggage very soon and have been looking at pannier rack options. I like the fact that these SW-MOTECH Pro racks are removable, as were the EVO racks (now discontinued). I'm probably going to go with the Tusk Olympus soft luggage. I want racks that fit close to the...

    Black Hills Yamaha Super Tenere Rendezvous July 22nd - 25th, 2021 - Custer Crazy Horse Campground, Custer SD

    There are sites available in Limber Pine and two other campgrounds in the immediate vicinity, for the nights of the 19th and 20th. I'm thinking seriously of doing the Chief Joseph and Beartooth Highways on the 20th, then heading to Custer on the 21st. Anybody else interested?

    Black Hills Yamaha Super Tenere Rendezvous July 22nd - 25th, 2021 - Custer Crazy Horse Campground, Custer SD

    The way I've been thinking about doing it is to overnight, most likely in Cody, WY. Head out early next morning going north on Hwy 120. About 16 miles or so north of Cody, turn west on 296, the Chief Joseph Highway (aka Crandall Road). You'll go up and over Dead Indian Hill and by the Dead...

    I'm jealous. Wish I had the time to do that. Been wanting to do the Beartooth and Chief Joseph for years.

    is there a delay in new bikes arriving at dealers ?

    Talked to a friend this morning and he's got a bike on order at three different Yamaha dealers and none of them can give him any idea when or if it will come in. The parts guy at our local Yamaha, Suzuki, Honda, Kawasaki, Aprilla, etc. shop says there are a bunch of parts and tires that they...

    Black Hills Yamaha Super Tenere Rendezvous July 22nd - 25th, 2021 - Custer Crazy Horse Campground, Custer SD

    At least you can get yours to go on an adventure on your bike. Apparently, my wife's former husband scared her off of bikes, plus she has back problems, and I haven't been able to get her back on one, even just cruising around on local blacktops.
