What you did to your Tenere today??!!

[this is this]

I installed a Denali Electronics B6 red LED as an auxiliary brake light. This little 6 LED bar is seriously bright. Looking directly at it is almost painful. The picture doesn't really show it, but it is powerful. Not cheap, but definitely worth it!

My condolences for y'alls weather. I'm still riding mine.

I have a gorilla voodoo doll in my hands and I'm putting pins all over it

Just to let non Australians know - matching thongs are footwear, not underwear.

I was just thinking that, does that mean footwear or underwear, that may be a very scary sight.
Some wear them well, while others should be jailed for exposure, but HEY I'm Canadian where we cover certain thongs. Maybe in Australia they dont. LOL

Funny you should mention that… I know a young woman here who states gladly that she wears G-bangers but she’d give Donkey Kong a run for his money when measuring her width using pick handles.
Those “thongs” are more likely to be normal jocks stretched waaaay past their lifespan….

That's a great price. Well done.

Thanks! The ES isn’t working atm - I was aware of this before making the purchase. Tried clearing codes using the service manual but no luck. Gonna take it to the shop to see what it is. Hopefully it just needs a recharge or something but it rides plenty well without it.

Braap Mode activated!

I installed Arrow Headers I bought on Black Friday, and a Yoshimura RS-4 exhaust I picked up from a forum member. Initial impressions are that it's the perfect amount of braap. It's still much quieter than the exhaust on my KTM 690. It barks when on the throttle but becomes nearly silent at cruising speed.

I run arrow headers and pipe. Removing the DB killer makes it a little better again but certainly doesn’t make it quiet

Rented a 2012 S10 this week that was pretty loud. Second day my son was riding it and I was following. Came to a stop and I noticed there was no can on it at all. It had an after market can at some point but the front flange and mounting bracket was all that was left. I was surprised it wasn't louder. It sounded similar to other after markets. It did pop a lot on deceleration.

I installed a Givi Outback Trekker 42L top box today. Picked it up cheap second hand - it's actually an OEM triumph case from a Tiger 800. The mounting plate didn't fit, but I was able to take the mounting pins and catch off that plate and install them onto my AltRider rack, which saved me a few hundred buying a purpose built Givi rack.

Finally started with winter maintenance. I got Arrow headers from the UK through @bimota his friend Kevin. Big shout out to Rob for making it possible!!! So she is getting headers, K&N filter, oil service, TBS and a flash. Looking forward to an improved bike. Not going for maximum power, but improved rideability.
Still have to calculate last years mileage but is going to be crap. Oil came out like new.

thanks stefan

Really like the color combo of your bike.What are your normal oil change intervals?

Thank you, very happy with it. I have very simple intervals. Once a year in the winter, we Europeans don’t get enormous mileages easily since anything is close.

That was something I really liked about Europe… the ability to make roads that aren’t necessarily straight; the mountains for roads to pass through; and how many places had a village feel to them.

Just going out for a morning to do a few chores and collect a few things and I can run up 250km.

Wow, that is a lot. I really have to push to get 250km on a normal day. From one side to the other in our country is roughly 300km . I once did a roundtrip on the Super Ténéré through our countering one day. It was about 400+km and a long day. Only when taking trips into Germany and Belgium we get like 500km a day, mostly highway

I avoid highways here as they’re straight and boring and the majority of car operators mentally go to sleep. They’re just dangerous.

Riding around the north of England is great as well as they have the back roads they go between the small towns.

I think I put the wind up someone following me the other day on the way into town as was going through a corner and I dragged one of the pivot pegs on the road (unintentional). The bike isn’t lowered and nor are the pegs. I imagine there may have been sparks

 

[StefanOnHisS10]

Yeah highways are boring and car operators are not paying attention here too. But I figure you have enormous amount of highways there because of the distances.
I am jealous, you’ve been to the UK (whilst living far away) and I have not (being a neighbor) but they voted to leave us so f*ck them just kidding
I like scraping pegs, she does it easily despite my tire choice. How many miles on yours?

I bought mine in May with about 18,000km on it (2010 model). Now has about 31,000 on it.
I didn’t do much riding this year… normally manage 20,000km+

I have family in the UK which makes it easier. Getting hold of a bike while there is a whole different thing since the airlines get upset when I try to bring one on the plane

Oh wow, normal mileage over here is between 1000 and 5000km a year. Friend of mine rides every day of the year and throughout Europe on his Harley and averages about 30k a year.
Still have the UK on top of my list, wanna see wales and Scotland.
