    Super Tenere, is it big as a first bike?

    I say get the s10 and put crash protection on it. Stay off the dirt and just get use to the bike. Take the vespa and thrash it in the dirt to get use to dirt riding. The problem with dirt riding is that you can get very rigid because you are looking at simple obstacles and your mind tells you...

    My only problem with West is that he doesn't live in the west. We sure could use his type here.

    So much short term Tenere ownership?

    I just try to make a point to get home before she does so I can intercept the boxes. Or I tell her it is for work. For which I usually get the " yeah right" response.

    Heidenau k60 Scouts

    I am grateful for your feedback. I have a set of k60s sitting in the garage and I am getting second thoughts on them. Motorcycle speed limit starts at 80. Do you think the Anakee 3 will behave better on the tarmac.

This is true if you have an aversion to taking a hacksaw to your new altrider bars. It is actually not that bad but you will need a welder and some patience. Simply...

    Did the mod a few weeks ago and there is quite a difference. I thought I liked it till I finally got on some dirt yesterday. For me it was no fun. Way to jerky. I left the fuse out when I got back on the slab and now realize I like the bike better without the mod. It had not dawn on me that all...

    Black, Blue, Silver, White, Grey, Red, or Sand?

    Re: Black, Blue, Silver or White Just picked up a black one. Funny thing is Blue is my favorite color, and when I first laid eyes on a ST it was the blue one. Told myself that is the bike I got get. Was about to get the blue and at the last minute decided on black. The blue is pretty, but the...

    Hello from Truckee, Ca

    Just pickup my 2012 ST. Figured it is time to quit lurking and say hi. I am one of those born again bike riders. First bike was a 68 Bultaco Matador just to give ya an idea of my time frame. Rode dirt bikes and street bikes until I turned 30 and got married and kids, what a distraction. Anyway...
