On Monday, I depart to a business meeting in Eastern Idaho. 650 miles each way. The weather is suppose to be in the mid-80's so why not ride a motorcycle? Even though I bought an FJR1300 last fall & know from previous FJR ownership that's it's the ultimate touring machine I'm considering...

Late last fall I purchased a used 2008 FJR1300. I had a new 2005 FJR for four years & really regretted selling it. At the time, I had some financial issues to deal through (read expensive divorce) & selling my seven bikes at the time was a quick way to generate some cash. Since I bought the...

Video is pretty good. I'm not sure what the state will use it for but most likely drivers ed. Enjoy. ::017:: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_b3T7u4ZJ1Y

Put the guns away...I still have my Super Tenere. I had a 2005 FJR. When I met my wife seven years ago we put many miles on that bike while we were dating. We both loved the bike. I sold it in 2010 & bought a 2009 C-14 Concourse. The Concourse had had many great points but there were a...

I really like my 2012 Tenere that I bought new in two years ago but...my wife hasn't been as comfortable on it as she was on our previous Kawi C-14 Concourse. So, we 've been doing a little bike shopping for a more comfortable long-distance road bike. We nearly pulled the plug on a 2014...

We are nearly finished with our two-week vacation in Oregon. We haul our Super Tenere in the back of our pickup while towing our 21' camping trailer. It's been a very successful & enjoyable trip. We've ridden the Super Tenere around Crater Lake, through the Redwoods, & up & down the Oregon...

I have a set of Yamaha Deflectors brand new in the box. I'd like $75.00 you pay shipping & I' prefer PayPal. I ordered a set & at the same time my sweet wife ordered me a set as a gift so I can't use both! I really like how much they smooth out the airflow. I have a 2012 bike but assume...

I love my Yamaha Super Tenere. For my present situation, it's the perfect motorcycle. I've owned 20+ motorcycles in the last decade. I've pretty much had one of everything. The Super Tenere is not as comfortable for my lovely wife as some other bikes we've owned, so I have been thinking of...

My wife really misses having a backrest like we've had on other bikes. I have installed Corbin seats but doubt that would change much as far as mounting goes. We only want a short one so I doesn't make it difficult for her when she is climbing aboard. I realize I may have fabricate or modify...

My wife & I got the bug for a motorcycle ride befroe the snow sets in. We are new to the SW Washington area so we hopped a few miles south to Oregon and explored the Blue Mtns. The fall leaves were beautiful & the curvy roads were a blast. We did a little gravel too as I got slightly...

Kind of a silly question but I live out in the sticks & don't know anyone else that owns an S-10. I pronounce it Ten-ERA but have heard it pronounced TEN-era on the internet. How in the hell is it pronounced in Africa?

My tall, long-legged wife would like a taller passenger seat for better leg room. It's looks very functional & the reviews are all positive. Anyone tried one on an S-10?

After having several touring bikes with locking hardcases (R1150GS, FJR, C-14) I decided I wanted to try something different on the S-10. I'm not real crazy about the looks of the square box panniers & since we are mainly day-trippers we didn't need the bulk & width of the larger bags. Besides...

We passed a blue S-10 eastbound on Hwy 14 this afternoon near Lyle, WA. We have our black S10 in the back of our brown Tundra pulling a travel trailer. Who knows you might see us! We're looking forward to exploring Oregon's beautiful coastline on a motorcycle. This is why we traded our C-14...

My wife & I ended up taking our trip to Yellowstone without our S-10. When we woke two mornings ago to snow & 28 degree weather having the bike home in a warm garage confirmed the wisdom of that decision! On Friday, June 1st, we did see a blue s-10 westbound on I-90 near Warm Springs, Mt. He...

I've noticed there seems to be a lot of former FJR owners that have switched to S-10's. I bought a new 2005 FJR in the fall of 2004 & at the time thought it was the best motorcycle for long distance riding I had ever straddled. Put 30,000 miles on it. Then I met and eventually married a tall...

Okay, I'll admit to the fact that I live "in the sticks". Hell, we're still questioning the need for electricity! I needed to top off my tank to make it home today from the Seattle area. My tank was 1/3 full. As the fuel level got within a few inches of the top that damned spill-proof...

I've been real busy & haven't had the time to ride my new S-10 yet. A friend of mine who is a hard-core aventure tourer showed up last night after hearing I had a new S-10 in the garage. Since he was suited up & it was a 60 degree no-wind night we decided to go west of town on the bikes & rip...

In a few weeks my wife & I are driving 600 miles to Yellowstone. We will be pulling a small 18' travel trailer behind our 1/2 ton pickup truck. I have a real nice aluminum bike ramp the I've used for years to load bikes into my trucks. I've even used it to load a Goldwing with a flat rear...

I plan to use my S10 for 90% highway with a few forest service or gravel roads thrown in. I'll rarely travel overnight but do make long runs when I go & have a bad wine habit to support so saddlebags are a necsessity! My wife is usually aboard & has a 36" inseam so leg room for her is an...
