    Good-bye and Thank You

    I traded my ever-faithful 2014 Super Ténéré ES today, leaving the dealer on a 2016 FJR1300 ES with 0 miles on the clock. Thanks to all the wonderful folks here, most especially to Don in Lodi (who shipped me his front wheel sensor after an independent shop mis-routed the front wheel sensor...

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

    Here's why I ask: I love my '14 Super Ténéré ES. But deep-down, I'm an inline-four kinda guy. And I've always loved the way the FJR looks. And the Super-T is a bit tall for my inseam. And it's a bit difficult for the wife to mount. And I never tackle anything more challenging than gentle gravel...

    *** SOLD *** Vision X LED Spots w/ Bracket and Harness, Never Installed

    I purchased these lights, wiring harness and bracket last September, and have never installed them. I've decided to do less night riding, instead. So I'm parting with them. Each light uses 10 watts, produces 860 lumens and throws a 20-degree pattern. The wiring harness includes a relay and...

    Another Forum Member Goes Above and Beyond...

    A few months back I had the opportunity to cite Don in Lodi for going above and beyond (for selling me the wheel position sensor that I needed, which was back-ordered, and which he happened to have on hand). Thanks again, Don! Today I have an opportunity to cite another forum member for going...

    1530 (corrected) miles in 22:28

    Left Littleton (Denver) yesterday at 02:47. Rode to Flagstaff via Albuquerque, then back, stopping for gas in Trinidad, Santa Fe and Gallup (and in Flagstaff). Cool and cloudy most of the way, and a bit soggy around Santa Fe on the way home. Finished back in Littleton at 1:15 this morning...

    Good Deal (?) on a New '15 ES Model

    http://denver.craigslist.org/mcd/5192292339.html I know there have been inquiries regarding what these bikes are going for. This looks like a pretty good deal. And it's red. :P (Super Ténérés sell very well here, I'm told, and prices tend to be somewhat higher than in other parts of the country.)

    Don in Lodi = Really Good Guy

    As you may have read a couple of weeks ago, my (now ex-) tire guy mis-routed the lead from the front wheel sensor immediately prior to what was to have been a 2,600-mile, four day blast through Wyoming and Montana. Two-hundred miles into my ride, the lead was chewed through, and I lost ABS, TCS...

    Michelin Pilot Road (PR4) Trail Experience

    I have 450 miles on a new set of PR4 Trails, and thought I would share my experience, which exactly mirrors my experience with these tires on my '12 DL1000 V-Strom. 1. They dance around on the grooved concrete of Colorado interstates like a Las Vegas showgirl. 2. They render the bike much more...

    Big Problem

    I'm cruising along, middle of nowhere I-80 in WY. First day of what was to be a 4-day trip. Cruise control disengages, TCS, ABS and CEL are lit. No power. I drift to the shoulder. It idles fine. I shut it off. A brief inspection reveals nothing. I start it back up. If I disable TCS, it runs...

    Horizontal Headlight Adjustment

    There's plenty of discussion here on how to adjust the headlights vertically, and I'm working on getting that dialed in. But, based on what I'm seeing (or, actually, NOT seeing) when cornering, I suspect the lights need to be adjusted horizontally. Can anyone clue me in to how to do so? Thanks...

    WTB Pillion-Only RDL or Sargent Seat

    I'm fine with the stock seat after a 1,065-mile day. Wife is in pain after two hours, so looking for a Russell or a Sargent rear seat for her. Really need a solution in my hands by 7/31, else I'll buy the pillion-only RDL once the 2015 riding season has ended in Colorado. Anyone?

    Trip Report: First SaddleSore 1000 on the Super T

    I rode my second SS1K (and my first SS1K on the Yamaha) on Sunday. My (longish) report follows. ---------- At last… my first long ride on my new bike, a 2014 Super Ténéré I acquired in January. Planned in February, this ride was originally scheduled for May 9, but wet (and occasionally...

    The American Cruiser Brand of Rude

    Twisty canyon. Four lane, divided highway. I jump on right behind a fella on one of those American-made cruisers with little-to-no cornering clearance. MC club leather jacket, of course, but also a helmet. He's in the left lane, riding alongside a minivan. I get behind him, and wait. For miles...
