+1 on Uber. I'll never take a taxi again.

Wife and I are leaving Wednesday for Scotland for two weeks, our first time as well. Six days in Edinburgh, then the rest of the trip will be staying further north.

Their standard seat is taller than stock, which made it necessary for a low option. But a tall option might not sell very well, as it would be REALLY tall. Call and maybe they'll make one for you??

Excellent experience! Inviting you to watch / film the setup, then sending you video when you couldn't be there is awesome! The purchase of my 2012, back in Oct. 2012 was not quite as impressive. The price was right, but the experience wasn't great. Me, "Hey, I noticed the four screws...

Regarding this question, I believe the answer is no, you don't have to worry about your warranty being denied. There are the obvious exceptions, and I'm sure you would agree; "Hey, I forgot to add oil after I drained it, now my engine is seized, I demand a warranty replacement", and so on...

The ES comes with heated grips and electronically adjustable suspension. Yes, you have an ES. The standard, non ES version comes with cruise, but NOT heated grips and electronic suspension.

I hit a rabbit on my old V-Strom several years ago. One of the cotton tails that like to hop around the shoulders of the road sometimes. I was going about 60mph and it darted right between my wheels. I felt a slight "thump" in the bars, and looked in my mirror to see it rolling and tumbling...

I agree. I have a section of my garage that has carpet, put down by the previous owner. One Saturday after buying the Tenere, I "dropped" it a couple of times on the carpet, just to make sure I can pick it up. I used the same technique, with my back to the bike, and I was surprised at how...

I agree on the clunk being normal. The quicker you go into first after the clutch lever is pulled, the more prominent the clunk will be. Try this; pull in the clutch, count slowly to 5, then shift to first. You'll feel the clunk much less, or not at all. Any wet clutch bike I've owned has...

I worry about that guy, he should have his blood pressure checked... Definitely +1 on TC needing to be switchable on the fly. A HUGE PITA to have to stop to change it.

Yep, you're right. Actually went back and clicked the image and see what you mean. Just glancing past the image I thought I was looking at depth mic rods. After my grandfather passed, my brother and I were cleaning out his garage. Among all the tools, we found between 10 and 12 sealed boxes...

The middle pic looks like part of a depth mic set, and the last, the telescoping gauge set, is used to measure inside bore diameters. Some just call them T gauges, or snap gauges. I use everything in all three pics on a daily basis! :) They are all precision measuring devises, and need to...

I think what Tomatocity meant was to check it for signs of being dropped by the dealer, before you took possession of it. But yeah, getting a replacement mirror under warranty should be a piece of cake.

Thank you sir for taking the time to do this, much appreciated! You get out there and experience what most of us can only imagine. I wish you continued safe travels. ::008::

^^ +1 ^^ Looks to me like there's a significant difference.
