That's a fine looking bike. How's the bonding going?
It's not. The bike is a really nice and all, love the engine, but somehow we're just not clicking. Thought seriously about another Tenere but am kinda BTDT after 11 years on the model. Just called Kevin earlier today about a Scrambler 1200XE.

Anyway, the new tag is a glassblower of any type.

Sorry to hear that. Although I do remember how we both felt about that Scrambler. It was a surprisingly fun bike, far beyond what I ever expected.

I can say not all scrablers are the same. A few weeks after the 1200XE, Larry threw me the keys to the Indian Scrambler. I had a lot of anticipation, but I despised that bike. Could not get off it fast enough. Probably due to the insanely loud exhaust, that kept me from having moment of peace. It scrambled my brain and I hated every second of riding it. A world of difference from the Triumph.

Good luck. Life is too short to ride the wrong motorcycle.

...you know, if you get over that chain adversion, I have a suggestion for you. :cool:

Or he could go back to that old comfortable slipper that fit j-u-u-u-u-st right.
Tempting but I just can't bring myself to a third Super Ten.
The Scrambler was a blast alone but definitely too small for us 2-up.
Currently thinking used 1290 (R or S) or a V85TT. Hope to try both soon while getting the Triumph ready to sell.

Oh, what a horrible option. :rolleyes: Not a bike that does everything I need it to do but is s-o-o-o-o boring. :rolleyes: I want one of those bikes that have a checkered past but is s-o-o-o-o cool. :D

Just like a woman that wants a bad boy. For a while at least. :D

Meh...more like a woman that lays there like a cold fish instead of one that begs you to smack her ass and pull her hair. Just sayin.......

My Tenere likes it when I smack her ass and pull her hair. That's why my valves are probably spotless. :cool:

Any chance at a new tag? I don't have a glassblower anywhere near me. I have a snowblower, but that's about the only blower around here. :oops:

Agreed, not a chance for me to get a grab it either. We'll need to ask @Checkswrecks if he is willing to create a new one or alter this one. Over a month is too long, we need to keep this this moving. Fun game but riding season is slowly ending over here..

Next tag:
easy enough, a Monument to flooding events with motorcycle only adjacent parking. Well, the mc only parking is optional.
This one references the long gone fabric mills of Rising Sun Printworks dam in Providence RI on the Woonasquatucket River. The dam is gone. The river remains, it's where they have the Waterfire Festivals.

May be time for a different tag. This one may be too unique.
