How do you tell your wife you just wrecked your New Tenere?

[Cerenkov]

If it's any consolation, I dropped mine before I even got home. I myself put 3 miles on it before it took a nap.

Then again, I don't have a wife to answer to

If you need help with putting the S10 back together, let me know. I'm in Mansfield. Oh, and need pics and a report of what happened. Glad you're okay and that your wife didn't kill you.

Okay. Now for pics. I was very lucky. As I went off the road I missed fire hydrant, rock wall, wash out area, and trees. As bike started flipping forward high side I bailed low side. Bike flipped over forward left side. Fipped over once according to friend behind me. Interesting part is that stock windshield did not break. Left mirror broke at point where it screws in. But the housing that holds instrument and everything inside went to pieces. It absorbed all the energy. So damage after flipping bike is actually minimal, now that I have it apart I can see. I have added some pics hopefully to show.

I am very please with Yamaha and the Super Tenere. Not going to admit how fast I was going, since it may have exceeded a few limits, but how my biked faired through it is really impressive and I still rode it home with a verry sore side. My compliments to Yamaha.

Well I thought I was adding pics but they seem to be to large. Once I figure out how to shrink the file I will get them posted.

I just use photo bucket and paste the IMG code into the text.

I never have to resize and have the same IMG code copy and paste funcition from Photobucket. If you're shooting every photo as if you're going to do large blow-up, that's a different story. The forum isn't picky about photo size if you're linking from another site anyway, but I do get the point about automatic resize as a cover-all sort of thing.

My only real issue with Photobucket is that often when you go to look at an older thread, the photos are gone, having been moved around in Photobucket, so the links no longer work. Tinypic is sort of low tech, but the links stay good forever.

Yes, that is definitely an issue with Photobucket. I've also heard of other issues about surpassing some pre-determined bandwidth and getting the links blocked from Photobucket.

Good news. I actually found a resizer on windows 7. It worked great. Attached are photos (I hope this time). ::015::

 

[wildbd]

Getting the hang of this. And a few more.

 

[wildbd]

And the last 4 I have.

 

[3putt]

I was thinking drop, fall over. Sheeet, this is a high speed high side flip with an early low get off. OUCH, that is gonna take some work. Make sure those forks are not bent, frame tweaked. Sorry for your mishap!

 

[wildbd]

Good point. Thanks for advice.

 

[Tremor38]

Well, that's one quick way to make a street fighter Glad you came out of it unharmed.

 

[Leopard_125]

uhh you probley better tell her asap.
I don't think her coming across that bike in the garage is going to go over well.
and unless you got a secret slush fund hidden some where shes gunna ask about the cool new
high dollar parts you just ordered.
