    New place no garage-smallest door opening you've fit your S10 through?

    I am about to rent a new place. If I get the one that works the best for the family, I have off street parking but not garaged or covered. However, there is a wooden fence that swings open and a nice sized area to keep the bike BUT the opening is 3.18ft( 38.16in ) The Super Tenere is...

    FJR owners...does my Super Tenere really handle better than my FJR1300?

    Laminar Lip vs MRA X-creen

    Greetings all, Been perusing the posts searching for a quiet less buffeting ride for my '12. I have Madstad and Yamaha Tall Screen. I'm running the Gt-Air Shoei. I have the winglets. If I have visor up, the helmet buffets strongly. Visor closed...wind noise and low frequency rumble. The rumble...

    Linked, unlinked. brake dive !!!???

    So about those linked brakes... My understanding: If I use all right hand, front and rear brakes are linked. The bike will stop as mechanically short as possible by slowing both front and rear wheels. If I use only right foot, braking is applied to the rear wheel only. ABS is functional...

    winter riding

    Looks like this week may see me trading in my FJR for a S10. FJr kicks out a lot of heat making winter riding less frigid. What do you guys do for winter warmth, larger wind shield side deflectors, heated gear? Thanks

    S10 riding impressions?

    Great and FAST response guys(gals). I'm shifting my spending plans towards the ST10. I need to ride one to get the final impetus. I've watched several videos but have yet to feel that the acceleration and power of the bike is a match for the R1200GS. I'm reading that it is more gratifying on the...

    Anyone NOT like their ST10 after trading in their R1200?

    Hello all, I'm asking about two bikes I'm considering (I own a DL650). The R1200 has been my goal but the ST10(what is the nickname for this bike anyway?) looks better for the obvious reasons; price, availability of service, cost of service. It seem like a lot of folks love the bike. I sat on...
