During my three month hiatus from riding I found myself gravitating more toward my other hobbies...primarily music. I've played guitar (not very well) since I was a teenager, and while I wish I could consider myself a musician, alas...it just isn't so. I do greatly enjoy strumming away...

I'm in sort of a weird place right now: ** The bike is paid for ** Completely farkled to my liking ** I have no desire to replace the bike nor add to the stable. I don't think I've ever been here before... I keep trying to think of something to do to the bike, but I've got it absolutely...

It's been three months since I've been on the bike or here. The morning I was leaving on a week-long ride to N. Ga. I was going to top the oil off and broke then end of my funnel off into the engine (that really, really sucked). As it turned out it was a blessing in disguise - the weather was...

Quick history: I've never modded the suspension on any motorcycle in over 30 years of riding. I've always just "ridden around" the stock suspensions on my bikes. I'd set the sag and tweak the other adjusters a bit, but never felt the need to "upgrade" the suspension. Actually, I didn't typically...

Looking for a set of OE pannier bag liners if anyone has a set they want to part with...

Bought a set of used Yamaha side cases, but no instructions on installing the lock cylinders. I've searched here and online for instructions, with no success. Does anyone have a set of instructions they could scan and post, or a link to where someone already has done so? Thanks!

Looking for a non-abused set of black Yamaha Panniers. PM If you're looking to sell. Thanks, Craig

I know Coastie posted awhile back that he was okay and dealing with some stuff, but dammit I miss him! Prolly this nicest guy I've ever "met" on a forum - hope everything is well with him!

There's been mention of this in other threads so I figured I'd toss it up and see if we Floridians could put something together. Sure our asphalt's flat-and-straight, and our dirt's made of sugar, but we still ride - and at least in the rural parts there's some great scenery. So what say you...

So I've been talking about suspension upgrades on the Tenere, and Tracie couldn't care less what I do to the bike, but she knows me well, sooooo. She says, "You've had the bike for a couple of years, which is about the time you get the itch for a new one, so before you drop big $$ on suspension...

Don't! Seriously, under no circumstance. DO NOT BUY A TENERE! Unless... You like the idea of owning the World's Biggest Dirt Bike That can take a fall, and keep ticking Climb a mountain pass Two-up Load up for the long haul And "make" the campsite

I have the Wasp stickers on my bike and love them. I think they really accentuate the lines of the bike and make it look most sweet. As some of you know WASP is out of the Tenere business and his offerings are no longer available. A good friend of mine is a top-drawer graphic designer with...

Snakebitten posted a great how-to for posting pics. Seems we get a number of members here who have little forum experience and have questions about posting pics. I've personally run this link down for a number of new members, and it would be nice to have it located somewhere obvious so we could...

Hooked up the new Warm & Safe jacket liner and gloves this morning and went for about an hour-and-a-half sunrise ride. It was 35F when I left out, had the gear on high, and kept turning it down as I was too warm. This is one of the best Christmas gifts ever - never knew what I was missing -...

Okay, so my stuff arrived from Warm n Safe today, and I plan to get it wired up tomorrow. I got the jacket liner, heated gloves, and Dual Remote Heattroller. I'm going straight off the battery for the harness, and I know I need the plug on the left side of the bike, so if anyone wants to share...

I've always been a one-bike kind of guy, and the Tenere does everything so well it really doesn't make rational sense to have two now. But, I think I'd like a Bonny to bop around on - just love the styling of the Bonny/Thruxton/Scrambler bikes - and I think it'd be fun to have a less-serious...

Just noticed I haven't seen him around here lately. I know some folks wouldn't admit to missing his cantankerous, verbose postings, but it just hit me the threads have been considerably shorter-winded lately. ;) Hope all is well, Allan, and you're just out having fun at other's expense...

Most people at the games won't anyway, but I thought you guys would appreciate it. One of my wife's employees works part time at the Jaguars football games in the Jersey shop. We were able to score custom Jags jerseys at 1/2 price. This is mine: Front: Back: And this will be my wife and...

Had 'em installed this morning, first impression: Love 'Em! They're obviously road-biased in a big way, and after taking it easy for about 50 miles I wailed on them a bit - feel like the Pirelli Angel STs I loved so much on my VFR. They're quiet and smooth on the highway, great...
