Hi from North Carolina

[Richard Spatchcock]

A few weeks ago about 600 miles into an IB2000 ride, my 1984 R100RS blew up the right cylinder in Indiana. After reluctantly riding cupcake for the long trek back to NC and also paying for the RS’ transportation back, I decided I need something modern. I now find myself with a 2012 Super Tenere. Someone put a lot of money in it before letting it go. I’ve had it a weekend have loved the first 500 miles I could find time for.
Just wanted to say hi y’all and I’ll get back to lurking and reading the amazing amount of info on the board.

Congratulations on the new bike ! Yes it looks like the previous owner invested a lot of extra money, it ever has a new paint job !

Yeah! The KR speedblocks was the extra bonus.

Love seeing that mileage. Mine is over 60,000.

I’m in Durham, where in NC are you?

Welcome from Texas. It might not be a re-paint. All the yellow may have come off of a donor bike. Still, looks good. She might be modern compared to your '84, but, she is definitely not high tech. And, yeah, mileage isn't gonna be an issue. Plenty of examples here.

I'm down in the Sandhills, in Moore County, about an hour and a half south of Durham. Come hell or high water, I'm breaking the 100,000 mile mark!

There's a guy on here from Iowa. He has a couple miles on his first Tenere. . . . a couple hundred thousand. (222k+ IIRC)
