where did you TAKE your Tenere today?

[SkunkWorks]

Thanks for the heads up. I usually know when to turn around. So you went from Prescott south? Did you go up or down that section? Typical for trails out here to have a sketchy section.

Was not familiar with the yacht club... Looks interesting. Saw signs for Mayer. We went through Bumble Bee.

Heading south from Prescott, this "Waterfall" section is on a steep uphill grade "Most" of the way to Crown King.
There's not a bypass that I know of, unless you divert over to Mayer and come up through Cleator.........
You might be able to come from the West on Wagoner Rd, but I'm not familiar with the forest roads on that side?

Best I can tell from Google-Maps it is in this section.

The Waterfall looks legit.

We were fully-loaded with all our camping-gear/luggage too, so we had to drop everything and make multiple treks through the Waterfall to carry it all up.
There was a couple minutes when we first encountered this, that we were contemplating turning around..................After I walked it up and down a couple times, and we discussed the best plan of action, we continued up the Waterfall.

I just saw the bike in the second photo. Wow.

Yes! That's Cap'n Ron and his Vstrom-650.
We got him through first, then muscled my bike up.

Rode in cooler temps today. New bike officially has 300 miles on the clock. Motor is running at 158ish degrees to 176 which I prefer when breaking in the motor. Looking forward to the 600 miles (glitter) oil change .

On a side note I was breaking in a RD350 years ago in the early springtime, and while laying on the tank reaching down feeling cylinders temps I saw flashing light from a squad car pulling me over. When the officer approached, he accused me of speeding to which I said there’s no way I was speeding as I’m just breaking in this motor. He repeated again that I was speeding and I said I’m just breaking in this motor and I’m only going 45 miles an hour. So I figured out he saw me going down the road laying on the gas tank thinking I was speeding when in fact, I was just checking the motor as I was breaking it in. I finally persuaded him to believe me that I would not be speeding with a freshly rebuilt motor. He left me alone and went back to his car, and I got a good laugh out of it!

"Some say", that the Super Tenere doesn't fully break-in until 5k miles. Some members mentioned it back a few years ago. And in retrospect, I do believe that mine had a little bit more chutzpah after 5k.

Lol. Chutzpah.…. thats a new one to me . I figured chutzpah was the sound they made when only running on one cylinder when going up a steep incline!

I think that would be more of a chuga-chuga.

They look so nice when new and shiny
You need some dirt on it to break her in

Rode this 340km round, well actually it’s more up and down, trip. Drew the route in a map with red below. Nature is awaking, cool! Turned north again when I saw the skylines of that overestimated shithole that is called our capital. Clear sky’s and 10*C but a hard wind from the east. All day riding with a hard sidewind made me fatigued. But still rode with a smile!

Rode from Longmont, CO to Burnet, TX this week for the Touratexas Rally. It was a great event with awesome people, and other than crossing through the panhandle, it was a beautiful ride.

I got a warning for going 15 mph over the speedlimit


Great section of dirt just outside of Folsom, NM


Folsom Hotel


Home for a few nights at the TouraTexas rally


I came in 2nd place for the scavenger hunt and managed to win a 30l dry bag from Touratech!

 

[Fordf350]

Did you have to ride thru a lot of smoke in the panhandle?

 

[Mad_Matt]

I was surprised by the lack of smoke. It was smoky on Thursday as I headed into Burnet, but after the thunderstorms that night there was no more smoke

 

[Fordf350]

Did some local riding today, about a 150 mile loop. Part of it was thru the Sam Houston National Forest. Not a soul in sight.

Mt Ord and Fire Road 201 that I never explored before. First time I made it all the way up Ord. Snow was off the trail and I hiked up from the gate closure at the end of the trail. I could see the Fire road from Ord do went to check it out. It just kept going and going until I ran out of time and turned around.

I read an article about the folks that man some of those towers. Different breed. Lots of alone time. Those places would be my zombie apocalypse house.

Road in to work in Portland, ME and back home. First ride of 2024. No pics, not awesome roads, only 60 miles round trip, but I rode! And that made me smile!

Got out yesterday for a few hours before the storm, heavy sleet for the last few miles. Measured 18" of snow today on the patio and not supposed to stop until tonight/tomorrow morning. I thought that squirrel saw his shadow? So much for an early spring.

At least you got out a bit. 18"and climbing! Yikes. Hopefully it will melt soon.
