    What does everyone think of this?

    On the topic of parts and prices, this dealership here in Phoenix has a website with what I think are unbelievable prices on parts....relative to dealer markup. They ship and everything. I have no attachment, so if the prices are nothing special I'd like to know...

    Oil dripping

    After a short engine start and quit this morning I notced a few drops of oil under the bike. At first I thought it was the pan nut, but upon inspection I found a hose down there seemingly intended for overflow? The few drops of oil were coming from there. Thoughts?

    Finally looked at Gallery. I can't post here anymore.

    You all are hard core. I'm excited to cut in between some cotton fields riding around on an early Saturday morning. It's like you guys ride through the center of earth to get to the Outback.

    First real ride

    Took the Tenere out this morning for the first decent ride. Of the 20+ bikes I've had over the years I have to say this is my favorite. I was a bit nervous buying it because you can't test ride anything in Phoenix (dealers don't let you) and I had a DRS650 that I ended up really not caring for...

    Brand new Tenere small cracks in windscreen

    Just brought the Tenere home yesterday. Basically 12 miles of riding around the block last night. I come out this afternoon and notice these cracks in the middle of the windscreen. You can tell nothing hit the windscreen, and I can testify to that fact. Has anyone seen these before? Attached...

    HEAT HEAT HEAT

    At 6'3" my long left leg is getting a bit toasty or rather COOKED by the left side heat. Admittedly I'm in Arizona and it's 100 outside, but has anyone else had this issue? I searched but only found "well what do you expect" types of responses....which may be ok, but...... solutions?

    New member here in Arizona. 2012 Blue Tenere. I appreciate the opportunity to have this board as a resource. I've been riding for 30 years, and have never really been a group rider.
