Picking up my new bike today!

[fraserdog]

As the title says i am picking up my new to me 2012 White/red fully loaded Worldcrosser with only 4k on the clock this afternoon,going to do the lightweight option and collect it in the van as it's nearly a 4 hour journey and i'd like to get to know it on my local roads at home first. ::015::

Aaahh, taking the soft option ::025::. My first ride on my last three bikes were 1100km, fly into the UK, ride out the next morning. But congrats on the new bike ::008::, and make sure you don't get hit by lightening, seems there's a lot of it about.

Not likely with a Super Tenere

Got me eye on a satnav mount and a headlight guard,other than that i think it's got everything. :

The genuine Yamaha perspex guard is pretty good 8)

 

[fraserdog]

Torn between that and the Touratech mesh one,as for the satnav mount the SW Motech one seems good as it positions the nav above the clocks.

I've been toying with the TT headlight guard, I was going to buy a cheap Chinese one but they aren't quick release and having seen the bugs on my bike today I think quick release might be useful!

It's got to be quick release for me,i had a fixed mesh one on my Africa Twin and it was a real pain to get between it and the headlamp to clean the glass,took it off and left it off in the end.

I got this -

It doesn't look as cool as the others or cost as much . It is quick release and covers all the headlights.

Ha ha! I just noticed in the ad they have that hideous front break on the tenere......yuck! is my opinion.
