Good report that the average rider can appreciate, I do. Your standing position looks comfortable. What tires are you going to use?
What you did to your Tenere today??!!

I would like to go Heidenau K60 tires (rear) TKC 80 Front. The K60 is good for the highway and has better grip than my Tourances. We do alot of highway out here so I would like a smoother ride. I had Big Blocks on my v-strom and they cause a lot of fibes on the road. Stuck great in the dirt though.tomatocity said:
The bike is a good fit to my 6' 3" frame. I would like just an inch or so on bar hight. Just need to order the risers or bars maybe.
NittanyXT, You got a lot of goodies there!!
It could be the angle of the picture, make sure your fogs lights don't touch the fender when the suspension is fully compressed.

It's only money! )

Placed my wind wings on last week. Less wind on lower chest, abdomen and arms at high speeds. Not a hugh difference compared to the 26" windshield which for the first time allowed my helmet screen to fog due to such low airflow. Zero issue with sun glare (unless you try at noon in Florida) and utterly invisible.
EDIT 1/6/12: After some miles with the wind wings there can be some sunglare at specific angles when looking down.
CB screwed up and sent me the headlight guards, which I thought were unnecessary, but putting them on is the best place to store them.
When it hits 95 degrees here, the stock windscreen plus the wind wings may be the "hot setup"...
Had my first service at about 800 miles a week ago, cost $148 after they deducted $50 for not having my fuel O-ring recall part in stock (which they promised when I purchased the bike after they were supposed to fix it before purchase.) Did not get to speak to the mechanic about any spoke adjustment or engine/shaft oil condition which I usually like to do.

Local club rider from TX organized a little ride. New Years day 7th annual pie run, to Edom, Tx and a little cafe (good food and great service for bikers, we had about 25). 4 of us ran over from Shreveport to join others in Grand Saline, then round about ride to Edom.

P.S. I was the only Super Tenere and got lots of questions. Pointed a couple of interested to Tony in Longview.

Nice vid!
So what I'm wondering is when somebody's gonna pull out their newly-acquired $89.00 Contour Roam HD and let us check that out. I received mine today, but can't ride until April. Guess I'll play around with the software and get used to the settings in the mean time. :-\

What annoys me when watching these vids, is that nothing is in clear and sharp focus. Since the focus is from close to infinity nothing is crisp ever... Maybe good enough for the purpose, but still, I hope this will be improved in future models.
Yeah, probably always gonna be a compromise. Mine was on my helmet, can't really see the dash, may try a mount on the handlebars, so can at least see the dash which is interesting in twisties or some road with features. What seems like some nice curves on the bike, turns out on the camera to be nothing special.
Very nice video. The GoPro catches a lot of wind on the helmet at speed, pretty tiring on the neck, your camera looks more streamlined.simmons1 said:

I have to admit I have the opposite reaction to these cameras. I've been using the last generation of POV camera and it looked like this:Blue_eyes said:

I'm looking forward to my new camera arriving and getting some decent video. I probably have lower expectations of what a camera can deliver, but considering what I've been using that's not a big surprise.
I now have the Rox Anti-vibration risers (2") on, I got these for the vibration dampening and it seems to work for my
particular vibration issue (buzz between 4000-5000 rpm), the bars are now smooth at that range but then there was
an appearence of lesser vibrations at ~3500 rpm instead. Those were subtle though and I will live with it for sure as the frequency is lower!
I bought the risers from https://twowheeltrekkers.co.uk/ and the shipping was fast and trouble-free to Sweden.
The cables (clutch and brake) are tight and it only works (bearly) with the risers tilted max forward, puts the bars a bit too far away for me
so Ill get those replaced next monday to longer ones.
The risers seems to be a great product though, nice looks and functionality!
Some poor pics..

I didn't really notice it on the helmet at all. I need to spend some time learning to edit and such but I don't have a real fast computer.Tiger_one said:

I am waiting for my replacement Roam, which is scheduled to arrive Wednesday. The firmware patch that was supposed to cure the low recording volume did not work. I called Contour and they quickly offered to send me a replacement with a return shipping tag for my present one.
Having said that, with my Contour HD I have adjusted the recording volume down so as to minimize wind noise when I use it on my road bike. However when I use it when riding trails on my dirt bike, I like it with the recording volume turned up more so as to better hear the bike as well as conversations with other riders at stops or if I want to add comments while riding. Even with the setting at max on the Roam, if I spoke directly into the camera in a loud voice, it sounded like a whisper on playback. That has been a known issue with the Roam, but the 1.06 update, issued in November was supposed to correct it. As has been my prior experience with Contour, their customer service is superb.

A great vendor on here sells the brake and clutch lines to use with the two inch risers. I have them a they work great.s-flow said:I now have the Rox Anti-vibration risers (2") on, I got these for the vibration dampening and it seems to work for my

I installed the Yamaha heated grips today. The right side was kind of tricky, but they work really well.
