    To Wax or Not to Wax

    You're going to laugh, but I use Pledge furnature spray on my motorcycles (the one with beeswax in it). I get better and easier results than stuff like Turtlewax.

    Givi Crash Bar Test

    Cost to be able to ride again: $500. Cost for the insurance (every damaged part): $5000. Guess who's going on a 21-day trip through the Himalayas on a Royal Enfield next year ::001::

    Givi Crash Bar Test

    A slightly "froozen shoulder syndrome" and an avulsion/contusion at/of the joing of my big toe (had a cask for 1,5 week). But I'm OK :) The bike is in for the new fan and I'm buying new clothing (which were too large anyway) next weekend. Can't wait to get back on ::001::

    Givi Crash Bar Test

    I saw an AltRider crash bar test in the topic list, so why not make a Givi one too. On May 6th I collided with a car during mu morning commute. I was filtering through a starting traffic jam at around 50km/h when a car decided to change lanes without looking and blinking for half a second. The...

    What you did to your Tenere today??!!

    The full damage assessment will be pretty long. But to get it just back on the road I need a new gear lever, the crash bars have to come off and the radiator (fan) has to be checked. The rest is just a scratch here, a broken screwhole there,... I myself am ok. A small bit of bone chipped of...

    Best Aux lights

    *bump* Got my Advmonster Model 60 LEDs mounted since a week or 2-3 and love them. My bike is now a commute monster. Everybody is looking at me as if they're watching close Encounters :D Here the leds are dimmed to about 30% of their capacity. When I use my high beams they go to 100%

    What you did to your Tenere today??!!

    Very tiny hands ? :P I find it actuially a shame that it's so hard on a bike like this. These are things that you should be able to adjust on the fly (even without tools imho). If I remember correctly even on my very old XJ600S there was a nice little wheel for it. Things like 2up riding...

    What you did to your Tenere today??!!

    Tried 30 minutes to reach the adjustment screw with a ratchet and sockets with different lengths, didn't work ::002:: Removed the headlight entirely and adjusted the screw with a large amount (I have HID lights, so oncoming traffic will be pleased with a much lower beam). 5 minutes work that...
