    Show me your bike loaded with tent camping gear

    Took a trip to central Australia in August. First pic is near Farina NSW, second is Uluru (Ayers Rock). Managed to squeeze quite a bit in both cases, tried to keep camping stuff in one side (tent, mattress, sleeping bag, chair) and other tools/ cooking gear in the other, with the top box for...

    Mitas E-07 dakar with tubes? Opinions required

    Thanks for the replies everyone, looks like I'm off back to the bike shop. :mad: Also good to know the leaking dakar's should not be a thing to worry about. ;) For those who asked, I do carry a puncture repair kit and a compressor.

    Mitas E-07 dakar with tubes? Opinions required

    I have been preparing for a ride to central Australia in August, went to a tyre retailer yesterday about an hour and a half from my house (I live in a regional area). I got them to fit some nice Mitas E-07 dakars to my '14 model Super Tenere. Problem is, while they were fitting them the guy read...

    DIY GoPro mount

    Thought I'd make a little thread to show what I did this morning. I recently purchased a GoPro style action camera in preparation for my upcoming trip to Central Australia. After being unsatisfied with the bar included bar mount, I searched this forum and other places but couldn't find what I...

    Just "Pulled the Pin" - Sena S20's

    We got a set of Cardo Scala's when my wife was learning to ride and they were great, I was able to give her real time help and tips while riding. Recently we upgraded to a set of Sena 20S, so much better, but in fairness the tech has evolved in the meantime. Definitely worth the investment...

    Poll: Favorite exhaust for the Super Tenere

    Just fitted my Delkevic Stubby ::008:: Bought from their ebay store, great sound, heaps lighter, and quick enough delivery to Aus. Mivv certainly won't be getting any custom out of me, tried to buy from them, ended up with an official complaint to ebay and a refund. I made a little video...

    Picked up my new s-ten

    I don't think it's just yamaha though, I've never had a japanese built anything with decent high beams. I guess there's so much artificial light over there that there's no need! :lamp:

    Picked up my new s-ten

    So I picked up my new bike yesterday, an ex demo 14 model. Today some 1950km later I have it at home. Some random thoughts about the new toy: 1: I love it, so comfy, but that far may have been a stretch (ouch, my pelvis!). May investigate seating options 2: The high beams predictably suck...

    Another new member from Australia

    I'm from Gippsland in Victoria, Australia. About time to say hi, since I pick up my new ST(demo '14 model) tomorrow. First thing I will be doing is jumping on and riding it the ~2000km home, since it's in Queensland! ::26:: As I told my wife, by the time I get home I'm either going to love it...
