Well I lucked out and found a black Super Tenere in Danbury CT. It had one mile on it. I bought the bike from Danbury Power Sports, and I dealt directly with the owner.
I rode it home in the rain (we had 7 inches of rain in 7 days). Today was the first day the sun came out, so out for a ride in the country. Whew sure is nice. I am still getting the feel for the bike. At speeds above 50 mph I am getting a lot of buffeting. So I tucked my head down a little and it really helps. So I think I may be headed for a taller wind shield, but will hold off until I ride some more. I rode about 100 miles today and went to Lovers Leap, the Gunnery, a bunch of towns with funny names like Danbury, Southbury, Waterbury, Roxbury,..........somebody must have had bury on their mind when they named those towns. But it sure is pretty out there with the Fall colors and the rivers full from the recent rains.
Even tried out some gravel in Putnam.
My bike came with the Metz tires. And they feel good. Sure seems thrifty with the gas too, and that may have a lot to do with taking it easy during break in (breaking in the engine and the rider!) ::022::
