It seems everytime I have a bike I really love, it has to go in order to pay for something stupid, like dental work, food, gas, clothing... you know, mundane stuff...
My previous 2012 had to go for such a reason back in 2018. Absolutely loved that bike, but that's spilled milk under the bridge, which brings us to today:

Bought this honey at the local motorcycle super center today.. 2012 with 18000 miles and pretty well farkled with luggage, lighting, cruise control, heated grips and a few other doodads. Luggage is Givi Trekker flavored with an interesting configuration.. the side boxes are different sizes for some reason. It works, just looks a bit weird.
Next order of business is a bash plate, and I'd really like to find an OEM muffler. It has some kind of raspy slip on installed and though it sounds kinda cool, I prefer the quiet from the stock one.
Henry approves of the purchase so that makes it all good.
Anyway, it's good to be back on a Super Tenere, plus the FJR I picked up last week was looking lonely.

I do have a 2022 KLR I've been futzing around with, but really missed the big Yamaha iron.
