Hey guys, here is a previous iteration of this question with a poll: http://www.yamahasupertenere.com/index.php?topic=1445.0 The age is definitely skewed towards the "experienced age range" but it's a little unfair to suggest that those of us in the bottom tiers lack the taste of older riders...

This should help: http://www.bikeairusa.com/home.html Could be yours for as little as $1500... Sounds like a lot to me, but if I was living in a hotter area of the country I might be more tempted.

I was hoping you would come back to this, i'm still waiting to hear about the infamous water crossing. If bring your bike down sometime we can get it straightened back out, and then go out for a "TEST" ride to see how it holds up. -Ryan

I agree this mod would be really cool, maybe even genuinely helpful. Most of the time I leave the bike in TCS1 and T and find that I am a relaxed and happy commuter, but at times such as when I see the perfect frost heave or raised railroad crossing coming up that my subconscious takes over. I...

I think I have ridden that section of road as part of the UTBDR but I did not know it had its own name so thanks for the links. It is definitely a must see area! My photo is from a bit north of there a bit off of the lock Hart Basin Rd. 95 degrees and sand sure make for a tiring day.

[smg id=1696 type=preview align=center] Sand is the best, no need for kickstands! -Ryan

That looks like a really fun road/riding area. The S10 is a beast in that scenario. I find that sand really brings to light the distribution of weight on the front tire, and is especially noticeable when dropping down into a wash with unconsolidated sand. I have dropped mine a few times just...

Looking Good, and impressive symmetry for hand bending! I have been thinking about a very similar design for a frame/skid plate combo that would complement my Altrider bars after putting a hole through my touratech skid plate, but thinking is about as far as I have gotten. This is good...

Hey Mike when are we going to get the rest of the story, I want to see some pics of this water crossing I keep hearing about. Paul Thanks for posting the pics. I am doing great, I got a plate and 10 screws put in a couple weeks ago and now I am just relaxing and healing. Looks like I missed...

Nice write up! Shoot, I knew what was going to happen and I still could not handle the suspense. Here are a few more photos to fill in... The photos are not showing up but here is a link to a web album with a few more pics...

ya, I will start another thread soon. I just picked up a bunch of my stuff this weekend with help from family at my house and brought it back to my parents where I am staying during recovery. This includes my computer so I can now get photos off my camera and put together a ride report. sounds...

Re: The BIG COLORADO 2013 summer gathering ! WOW sounds like you did a good job keeping yourself busy! Can't wait to hear the stories, glad you were able to finish the route. Sounds like you and limey had fun. I have surgery tomorrow on my leg and ankle and then I get to relax and recover...

Thanks for all the get well wishes. Ya hope to meet everyone at some point. As Michael said, we got the bike out and now my bike and I are headed home. Sounds like I will be in surgery next week. I will try and put together a ride repot this week. I hope to see everyone next year. Ryan

Re: The BIG COLORADO 2013 summer gathering ! I looks like you guys are going to have to party without me in CO. I was riding in the mountains south west of Provo UT and tipped my bike over. It landed on my leg and I ended up with a broken ankle. Now I am working on a way to get my self and...

Hey guys, I put together a recovery kit like the one sold by best rest a couple of years ago. It is based on a Z-drag used in white water raft recovery. I have not had to use it yet but it is nice knowing I have it and can come in handy just having some length of static line. Here is the...

Hey guys! After reviewing the map I see a distinct lack of people from the pacific northwest. So in the interest of diversity, (well as diverse as a bunch of people can be that all ride the exact same motorcycle), emgee and I have stepped up to the plate and made reservations at the KOA. I...

Wow, that looks great. Here in the valley I have not been able to ride for the last week due to freezing fog, yesterday the temperature did not get above freezing all day. I guess I should have come over to the coast. Sounds like Oregon is treating you well. -Ryan

I just got off the phone with ET, after a few minutes I had an email with conformation of the extended warranty. Thanks for setting up this deal Bloodline! -Ryan

I say go for it! I have looked at a lot of different set ups and I still believe that the Holan's are the best value by far. I have been nothing but pleased with my set. They are completely waterproof, and have stood up to some pretty good get offs. The way the top of the boxes are constructed...

Photos, better late then never. I have attached a few of the highlights here but you can see more at the following link. https://picasaweb.google.com/116108012694562620227/Whitehorse2012?authuser=0&authkey=Gv1sRgCPKpwrSo1oidBg&feat=directlink The Trip North! Home Sweet Home. Thanks again...
