What you did to your Tenere today??!!

[Jap_STi_3]

With the weather being prity good for January I've had a couple of runs out but yesterday was an important one http://trinityzxr750l1.blogspot.com/2012/01/out-and-about-in-this-weather.html So got "Out and about................ in this weather?"

I just love Derbyshire and especialy the "Cat & Fiddle" ::021::

Like the handle bar bag. Seen them on Beemers and am looking to buy. Need it to throw my phone in to charge. Do not want to take a Tank bag everywhere. Nice to see one on a Ten so I know it will fit.

THe bag works great I have my iPod wired up in there. It's not 100% waterproof but keep the iPod in a plastic bag and have had no problems as yet. Really easy to fit and carries more than you realise, torch, multi tool, visor cleaner and summer gloves weather permitting that is. ::008::

I rode it about 90 miles today. Lots of loose gravel county roads, paved twisties, you name it. It was 75 degrees and sunny, no wind to speak of. Just awful ::26::

Yep, it was a horrible day.. Bright blue bird sky, no wind, and in the 70's..
Thinking of Rem and others digging out of that awful white crap when they could be riding. ::025::

Limey, it sounds like driving to the Dentist was a pain, then Paying for pain at the Dentist and the pain of driving back home.

Sorry, but you can have all the snow. Don't want none! ;D

Installed madstad windshield bracket,installed rox offset handlebar clamps. I haven`t ridden it since installing these but looks like it is going to help with wind management and my carpal tunnel hands.

I haven't done anything yet, waiting on the postman. So far I have coming:

Givi Crash Bars
Symtec Heated Grips
Pro Grips 714
Givi Monokey rear mount (May put the Yamaha Top Box on the market)
Yamaha Side Wind Deflectors
SpeedStar's Tank & Fork Guards (Already arrived with super fast shipping, still need to install)


After this, once my wife stop complaining, I'll add some more....
I did add 350 miles since I picked it up and I'm liking the Super T alot!

Installed my new Cee Baileys custom seat. Now I need to do some riding and see if it works for me. Used to be 2 hours and my butt was getting sore, then it would be about another hour and I'd be suffering again. Looks pretty good! I opted for no pleats and vinyl instead of leather because I like a low maintenance seat. Cost was $450 plus some shipping.

Hmmm...some of you guys must have really sensitive butts, I can ride hours on mine and no complaints. Must wear the right underwear though.

That looks like it might be pretty comfortable. Can you show us some more angles?

Would you happen to be a skinny fit guy? I'm not, though am working down from 270 after the last three weeks of vacation. Every butt is different. The stock seat usually feels great for lighter riders. I was squishing it down to the point that it was not comfortable after a couple of hours. The last bike, (FJR), was about a 600 mile seat in stock trim and unlimited with the Russell Day Long custom.

As for underwear, that does help. LDComfort works for me. It doesn't replace a good seat though, just mitigates monkey butt.

Sent in the paperwork for my WA personalized license plate. I'll share it here once I have it. But here's some I considered (and whether they're available). WA only allows 6 digits on bike plates.

TENERE (N/A)
SUPERT (N/A)
SUPR10
10ARAY
TENRAY
S10FUN

You are a "BIG" man my friend :-*

Sure. FWIW, I'm not talking about comfort on the average day ride, but 1000 mile plus days, day after day after day. I have almost 10k on the bike with the stock seat. It's fine for a 200 mile day and tolerable for 400-700 mile days if I take breaks every hour or two, but I need it to be comfortable for 20 hours at a time with only minimal gas stops. This is obviously not the average need.

Similar height to stock? Looks like it's in the low position now. Yes?

Yes, it's in the low position and it appears to be very close to the stock height. Feels much more supportive to me and has some type of memory foam in the upper layer. Haven't gotten out to ride it yet though.
