Hi from Winnipeg.

[kaptain_zero]

Well, I lucked out.... Super Teneres are scarce as hens teeth right now, but I happened to call the local dealer today and they just got one in. So, now it's mine! I have not ridden two wheels in over 20 years. My wife passed away this year and I've been racking my brains to find something to do, and I did... back to riding.

The last two bikes I had, a Moto Guzzi and a Yamaha Venture both had shaft drive and the thought of choosing a chain drive bike just didn't do it for me, and then I found the Super Tenere. Not only does it have a shaft drive but I won't have to wet my pants if I see a gravel road.

I hope the border to the US opens up again.... but even if it doesn't, there's plenty of Canada to ride in.

congrats on your new ride, kaptain_zero, with a simple hello...

Thanks guys, I'm just glad that motorcycling came to mind..... Now I have something to look forward to.

@SkunkWorks Why did you have to show that picture of a color other than black? I ended up being stuck with Tech Black. In fact, I've only had black bikes since 1978..... Not by choice, just cuz it was only color available when I was looking.....<sigh>

@Nikolajsen I lived south of Oslo from 1965 to 1978. I only made it to Danmark once in that time, it was an amazing visit!

So thanks again everyone.... Starting over, I realize that while I was very concerned with the cost of gear in the past... for some reason I feel it's better to have my wallet skinned instead of my behind this time around.

Kaptain, probably you will like the detail I put to mine recently! I just love the way it looks!

Enjoy your bike!
Have a nice and Happy new year!

When I was searching for a Super Tenere, I had to look pretty far to find a Blue one.................There just wasn't any for sale anywhere near me.
I ended up having to road-trip to South Texas to get this one.

Definitely protect your "behind" when you are out there riding!
If you ever make it down to Colorado, I'll show you around.
