Hey everyone just wanted to jump in and make a bit of an intro. My name is Rick and I actually have been riding a KLR and did not know I was in the market for a Super Ten. That is not to say I had not read about them and liked the way it sounded, but it was not until we met a guy on the way back from riding in Arkansas and I got to see one in person that I knew that I had to have one.

After that it was just a matter of finding the right one, I searched a bit and had a line on a few before I came across this one. I actually bid on it when it was listed on E-Bay but did not bid enough, so I waited to see what Yamaha was going to say in thier dealers meeting a couple of weeks ago. The news was not really what I wanted to hear (more waiting and a hike in pricing). I called up the dealer in Bowling Green, Kentucky to find out what became of the one from the auction, they said they still had it. The next afternoon I was on a plane to Nashville, the day after I was riding home, and the rest is history.

Hey Rick, welcome! Nice color, and those Jesse's look fantastic. I had a similar experience with a car once; I was not in the market, and never gave it a second glance in the car mags until I saw one in person. After that I put one in my garage. In any case, you're here!
