Don't be surprised when riding the back roads of Arkansas if you see more rebel flags than the state flag. They are used as window curtains, on back of pickups, and as an exterior housing ornament.

I don't care if you or anybody else likes or wants to have a flag. To me, I know where I live and it's just one more "thing." Nothing to do with pride, etc.
I have seen Patrick eat. He does not need a plate. In fact it might slow him down.Yes you dork. Put a dinner plate in your tank bag or you may go hungry.

I've lived in six different states. Texas is the only one of those states for which I would have been interested in purchasing a state flag.
I'll stand next to CW in the flagless section...while holding my favorite dinner plate.

Since you claimed to be an honorary Ioweegian you can stand with Steve and I. If I am in the middle then the flag can cover my fat gut!

the good news is its not my first Tenere , but she feels very different with the ES. still sounds like a Tenere and the cruise control seems like magic. the wind coming over the shield in mid mount position was at my eyes with no buffeting , will try high setting today . hopefully I get to go to the rally with this new girl . grip warmers are better than sliced bread .
Did you keep your farkles off your 12 or are you outfitting this one with all new goodies?
Congrats! It doesn't take long till you appreciate the upgrades.

the dealer swapped my Touratech panniers racks from my old bike to the new , I left the crash bars and skid plate on the old bike . took off the LED lights gps mounts ,Corbin seat off and put original back on the old bike , MRA windshield took it off put original back on the old bike .... stuff like that . coming home after dinner in the dark I had forgotten how bad the lights are (spoiled by LED lights )and will have to do an upgrade soon . 3 months and 20 something days to the rally , not much time to do all I want to do to it . my first priority are lights and crash bars.

Tough challenge Jaxon. His 2012 had ~30K miles after 8 years. He'll have to keep riding after he turns 80 to make it. But that's a good thing if it happens.

that's 34850 miles in 7 years ..... silver bullet you are correct and I hope I am still at it at 80.... a good friend of mine stopped at 80 mostly because his wife is not well . he is 85 and still as robust as ever . so it is possible . and 30k of those miles is commuting in Austin traffic . which is its own challenge .

P.S. I drive 18 wheelers in Austin and San Antonio traffic every day , 50 to 75 k a year , that's where my talent is, no doubt. Sbullet when you coming to Lockhart so I can buy you a bbq lunch ?
