Good day all,

I joined the forum the other day and was encouraged to post a member introduction, so here goes.

I just purchased (yesterday) a 2014 Super Tenere ES. I have been riding a 2002 BMW R1150R (seen in attached picture). After riding the S10 home last night on rural roads for an hour and a half, I can say without a doubt that the S10 is a gigantic upgrade! What a treat!

The bike came with crash bars, top case, aftermarket tall windscreen (and original), and Givi monokey pannier racks. I am looking forward to outfit it with some panniers (thinking Givi Trekker Alaska - black), an aftermarket skid plate, and some auxiliary lighting. The tires on my R1150R, Shinko 705s, are more aggressive than the tires on the S10, but I won't likely change them until it's needed.

Do folks use the accessory bar for a phone holder or the handlebars? If the accessory bar, how do you attach to that thin bar (1/2 inch?).

Thank you, in advance, for the tremedous information that is already on this forum and for the info that has yet to land on it.

Regards,

POG

Welcome from Texas. I've put 60k miles on an RT1150, and lived in York & Kittery. The Tenere is my favorite bike ever.

Thanks for posting an intro & again, welcome to the group.

There's a piece of sand paper in the phone clamp to the bar to keep mine from sliding.
