    Any CO Gen-III FJR Riders Interested in the Ténéré?

    I traded my 2009 KLR in on the 2012 S-10. The motivation for this trade was two up riding. I was looking at the 1200 GS when an friend suggested I look into the S-10 and have never regretted the choice made. I had some vertical impairment issues with the S-10 initially but have pretty much...

    ADV Boots vs Work boots?

    After following this post I have decided to upgrade my foot protection. The Tennis shoe foot was a very convincing reality check. I have the Gaerne Balance Oiled Boots but would like more protection. The Alpinestars Toucan is where I think I want to go. I have a wide foot so from what I have...

    Time for a new jacket

    In the Klim line I have the Induction and the Overland jacket. The Overland is becoming my year round choice. I like it better in the hot weather utilizing venting over mesh.

    Rigid duel row light bar.

    I made my own mounting brackets for the pair of Rigid D2 Driving lights I installed. I used 2" X 1/8" aluminum flat bar and riveted a 1 1/2 " X 1/8" angle to it. I used 1" spacers on the back side as stand offs. The pictures are not the best but hopefully good enough. So far everything is good...

    Hello from west central Indiana...

    Hello from Bloomington. We usually do not ride that part of the State but on occasion visit the Exotic Feline Rescue Center. We did discover that Clayshire Castle while riding around in that area. You are going to really enjoy the Tenere.
