    Any S10 riders based around Columbia SC?

    I live in Florence SC and go thru Columbia on my way to the mountains. I ride mainly twisty mountain roads. But would be willing to do some easy forest service roads if I was with another rider. I expect to do more m/c camping this years. Not sure how much riding I will do this year because of...

    I have had both shots. I got my 2nd Moderna shot last week. I was a little tired after the first shot and had mild flu like symptoms the day after the 2nd shot. I have no regrets and feel great about being able to be around my 92 yo father with out worries. He has had his 2 shots and had no...

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

    I live near the South Carolina Coast but it is only about 300 miles to good NC, TN, GA, and WV mountain roads. I have yet to exhaust all of the "good" roads. After the rally in Custer I plan to spend at least 2-4 more weeks around WY and CO. I figure I can get good ride suggestions for areas to...

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

    I will be attending the rally from South Carolina. I will be towing a small Casita Travel Trailer and have a bike in the back of the Toyota Tundra. I have a Tenere and a Kawasaki Z900RS. The Z900RS is lighter and easier to load so I am thinkin about taking the Z900RS instead of the Tenere. Will...

    A big Toyota Tundra, a little Casita RV, and a kind of big Tenere.

    Original poster here. Sounds like the consensus is that the trip is reasonable with my stuff:D I don't know how long the bike rides will be when we are on the road with the RV trailer. I suspect some of the day rides will be 2 up and around 300-400 miles. The rides will not be on the...

    A big Toyota Tundra, a little Casita RV, and a kind of big Tenere.

    This is all good stuff. My Tundra has a knob on the dash headlight to compensate for load, kinda cool. The Casita trailer has a GVWR of 3500 but only weighs 2500 itself. Some of the gear can be loaded in the trailer to shift weight from the truck. l will get airbags and a weight equalizing...

    Cataract Surgery

    I had Lasix done on my right eye about 15 years ago for distance and did not touch my left eye so I could still read. Mono vision was easy for me but I chose to wear blended bifocals, so I had reading and distance vision with both eyes. As I aged the left eye reading vision went south and I had...

    broken windshield

    I have had good success with the Madstad bracket and the Parabellum windshield. I bought an over height shield and positioned the bottom below the winglets at the highest position I might use it. I then trimmed the shield to just below my line of sight. Works great.

    Tenere Scared me the other day!

    For a brief period last fall my 2013 would cut off occasionally without warning and the would restart with the button. It usually happened while cruising or accelerating hard (it was a bummer during a high speed pass). Occasionally it would have severe hesitation when accelerating but not shut...

    Rostra cruise control problem. Need help

    Great to hear that you got it working. The control pad was sealed at around 10,000 miles with fish tank silicone which is supposed to less acidic and safer for electronics. If it happens again I would pull it apart and reseal.

    Had a lowside, no help from TCS?

    responses: 1-Braking with the front brake in a turn is a standard part of "trail braking." It leads to bad things only if you don't balance your traction between deceleration traction and lateral/turning traction. If you can not modulate braking with a bit of skill you will overload lateral...

    Had a lowside, no help from TCS?

    Just to stretch this thread out a little bit longer. The TCS on the Tenere will work leaned over to a limited degree. Two examples: ---When my 2013 was new one of my 1st rides o twisty roads was on a very cold day. When I was coming out of turns I would gradually increase throttle while leaned...
