    Found a neat spot for my EZ-Pass

    Here in CA I just keep my toll pass in my jacket pocket or my map holder if using my tank bag.

    How do I stop my windshield from bouncing around?

    I have a Gen 1 and put a Madstad bracket on and then added the Madstad brace. Works great!

    Me too! Thank you. At the end of the day, motorcycling is my only hobby and I literally don't spend money on anything else. It was time for me to go for it. If it doesn't work out at least I gave it a shot.

    I hear you loud and clear. I'm conservative with my money too but have worked hard and saved my whole life and it was time for the reward.

    Is the Super Tenere an "Old Mans" Bike?

    Is the Tenere an Old Man's bike? I don't think so, even though in my mid-50's I guess I am old. It does a lot of things well and I think a younger person could enjoy it. I ride it because I am tall and the other comfortable bike I wanted, the GSA was way too expensive in comparison. Plus, I...
