Hi from the land of Santa Claus, Finland. I went to Yamaha dealer yesterday and I made a reservation on a Super Tenere. :)
Right now here is almost 60 cm (2 feet) snow on the ground, so I have to wait till end of May to start the season... :(

Hello Jukka .... nice to have you here. Sorry to hear of the weather in Finland. I can't imagine living in a place where you can't ride all year round :( Anyway, May will be along soon enough and that'll be gr8. 8)

Welcome from upstate New York. Where we almost as much snow as you have.

Good luck with your new steed.

Thanks. We have all three colours for 2011. I took the blue one because my last bike (Kawasaki Versys) was a black.

Welcome, Jukka! Sounds like all that snow would be good for skiing.

The only skiing we've got here in FL is on the water!

Hey Jukka, welcome. I don't have 2 feet of snow on the ground, but the couple inches I do have are quite the motorcycle downer. I hope to start my season in April, and at this point I can't wait.

Congrats and the bike!

Only two more hours until I'll get my new Super Ténéré to my garage. 8)
Fantastic! Congrats!

Make sure to check the tire pressure before you set out, my last new bike came with 53 PSI in the front because the shop never checked it during prep.

Thanks. I have to wait a few more weeks before I can ride it because spring is just coming to Finland...

Thank you, taking photos is just a hobby for me. I bought my first (, but not last) dslr last May. Before that I took photos with P&S, but I wanted to move forward.

Here's my new Super Ténéré:
