where did you TAKE your Tenere today?

[blågrisen]

Just a few 100 km of TET in the south of Sweden on a beautiful summer evening.
Dry roads so "flying low" with a slight drift in all the bends was really enjoyable (and keeping up with your son on his new 2020 Honda AT as an added bonus).
Keeping TC on level 2 make the gray whale very easy to handle despite road bias tires.

That's a tenere, right? What is the top case? I made one very similar from a plastic case that a local hardware shop sells, but I'm pretty sure they don't have them in Sweden, so I'm wondering what are you used

Sure, it's 1200 ZE. Some off brand tool box that I've had for many years. Keep moving it from past two wheeler to current bike. Hard bolted so it can take som serious abuse. On my previous bike (XT660Z), it saw everything from desert heat to snow storm on a trip from Sweden to Japan through as many countries as humanly possible
Perfect for the lap top and some other stuff that I always keep on the bike just in case........

If you're talking about Harbor Freight, 'cuz that's what it reminds me of, there's no telling where they get it from. I love the hell out of HF, but most of their stuff comes from Covid-ville.

Looks like a Pelican box...

A short ride around the Moffat tunnel
James peak. If you look right under the snow on the lh side, there is a house. 11,000 ft, at tree line on a rough 4x4 road....


Looking north, north west at Rollins Pass



Mt Evans

Most of everything is made in China, doesn't bother me at all.. And the US is covid ville right now.. And getring worse.. My top case is HF and a pretty good value.. Wanted to mount a bigger one but then my panniers wouldn't open so this is what I ended up choosing.

Yeah I have almost the same setup and it's pretty rugged.. And cheap so if it ever does fail putting a new one on is not a big deal

When to go pick up a laptop, then a circle around hwy 1, ca. Also almost got hit split lanes at 30 mph had to toss the bike left because the driver blocked me and braked. I couldn't thank his mirror because I had no time.

 

[ballisticexchris]

Good job on the save Monk!! Also smart speed on the lane splitting. These guys that split lanes anything over 30mph or so in traffic are insane.

Took a ride to see Plankton:
Couldn’t find the ChumBucket.
Thought the name of this creek was interesting:

Stopped at Kokosing Reservoir for a break:

On the way home I stopped to photograph this sign I’ve always wondered what it means:
Is the assumption that the speed I was traveling previously is illegal?

 

[Tigerkf]

Man, I like the color of that bike!!! Badass!

 

[Cantab]

Diggin the bar end mirrors to.

 

[Tigerkf]

It’s assuming you’re stopped taking a picture! As in get moving dude you’ve stopped long enough. Haha

 

[BadNews]

Diggin the bar end mirrors to.

Got old seeing half my mirrors filled with elbows.

 

[Sierra1]

Is the sign at the end of a school zone?

What brand are the mirrors?

I think Yamaha does it right when they match the front fender with the paint, instead of black.

Nope, it’s on the way out of a small town.

CRG MIRRORS - Designed and Manufactured in California, USA

They also make levers and rearsets, and yes, they are pricey.
