Hey everyone,

I guess it's about time I introduce myself on here. Picked up a killer deal last month on a new 2013 Tenere that I just couldn't pass up, so away with the ZX6R and hello adventure bike! Definitely an entirely different beast, but my wife (especially her backside!) and I are loving every mile of it! I'm hoping to find a solid deal on some good sized panniers soon. We love the idea of packing up and just going. We've talked about doing a big loop out west and back, hitting all the big sights and national parks for our next anniversary, so we'll see what happens until then. Right now, we're living on Scott Air Force Base which is about 20 miles outside of St Louis just in case anyone else is close by! I don't have any off-road experience to really speak of, aside from the occasional dirt bike or 4-wheeler ride, but I'm definitely excited to give it a shot.

From what I've seen thus far, there are a ton of knowledgeable folks on here willing to help where there can. With that said, I'm excited to be a part of the community, and hope to contribute the same.

See ya around!
Raven

IL, the land of straight, flat, boring roads
Welcome from Hillsboro, IL, Raven. If you are ever off on a Tuesday, several of us (mostly senior, but still juveniles at heart) riders meet at Bandanna's BBQ at exit 11 on I 55 near Collinsville for lunch at 11 AM. At least 4 of us have Super Teneres, a couple of us are on our second one.

I'll keep that in mind fred, thanks for the invite. My work schedule is about to become pretty irregular, so I'm sure I'll have a Tuesday off somewhere in the near future. It'd be great to get out and meet some new riders!

::004:: from Scotland, and congrats on the bike! It'll be great at what you want it for. I've got Holan panniers on mine, great quality and don't cost an arm and leg.

Hello not far from you. Getting ready to ride to bald knob right now or garden of the gods or maybe both.
