    Scanning old slides.

    With winter here I have been scanning some of our old slides. I am very blessed to have a wife and kids that likes to ride and we went on a lot of trips as they were growing up. Some of these slides are up to 30 years old and it's funny to see the old bikes we rode. We always camped and...

    My reply

    There are a number of subjects to unpack here. "...the title to this web site was still "Yamaha Super Tenere" and until Venture changes the title it would be nice if users still remember that." Yes, this is - and is going to continue - to be the Super Tenere forum. HOWEVER, notice that this...

    Shinko 804 and 805 review

    A lot of you have tried these tires with some subpar results. I have run the bias ply 805 probably 3 or 4 times, with some punctures and one time I even had to put a tube in to keep going. I have rode with riders that got a puncture and even ran into some random riders that said they tried them...

    How about a Tenere gathering? [what do you say Abercrombie?]

    I was thinking of a camp and ride down at Eminence, Missouri. There is a great campground at Alley Springs. https://www.nps.gov/ozar/planyourvisit/alley-spring-campground.htm I think it was about $9.00 for seniors and has GREAT showers. [that was in the winter] The riding in the area is just...

    I think it's time to hang it up.

    I was going to post this in the For sale section but with around 285,000 miles of use I don't think anyone would be crazy enough to buy it. I could use words like " never hit the ground" or "only in good weather" or you get the idea, but it would all be a joke. Everything gets old and wore out...

    Anyone going to ride the new Wyoming BDR? [this spring or early summer]

    I think I'll ride over and try it this early summer. I'll be camping the whole way and cooking at camp. I'd like to take my time and explore a lot, Mines, and historical areas. I sure don't mind doing it solo but welcome riders on 1200 beast, I have no interest riding with others on play bikes...

    Yearly miles

    Just added up my total miles for this year. I'm over 40,500. Last year was just over 39,000 so not bad. That is on my 6 bikes with odometers, I actually have 7 bikes with odometers but I'm not counting the LT2 that I just putt around the yard with. I would also have a lot of miles on dirt bikes...

    Old Friends buying Super Teneres

    In 1979 four of us rode to Yellowstone on a two week great time. I was on my XS1100 and Jeff on a KZ900, Rick on a Suzuki 550 and Rus on a XS750. That is Jeff on the left Rick on the ground and Rus on the right. Rick has passed away a few years ago. . About 6 years ago Michelle and I stopped by...

    I can't believe that I'm doing this.

    We bought this trailer new back in 1983. We have probably pulled it 60,000 miles behind Ventures and the XS1100. But we haven't pulled it for 11 years. The deal is when we travel and stop to hike or go in some place, we just can't leave $2,000 worth of riding clothes just lying on the seat. We...

    Gerbing Heated Gear

    I recently went full Gerbing heated gear, It's a game changer in cold weather riding. I now think that I can stay warm in about any temps. That said I do think they could have done a better job on some of their ways. Take the pant liners for example, they have Velcro around the ankle that is...

    On the way to Custer.

    If you are going to the Super Tenere rally this July and are coming in from the south or east, you might want to check this out. I ran over to the Niobrara River in north Nebraska to explore for a day. It is a very scenic part of Nebraska and well worth checking out. I was looking at all the...

    Dad's bike

    Well with cold weather starting up maybe I can get something done this time. It hasn't run for about 25 years. Here is dad on it Looks like he had a big rear rack for it, I missed out on not picking that up out of his garage when he died. It's also missing the battery cover on the right...

    Super Tenere Rally 2021

    Is it to early to start talking 2021 rally? I'm snowed in and ready for a new riding season, one without a virus. I like the Black Hills as a central location. I was out at Nemo, SD. this fall and the potential is limitless for great riding. , Nemo Guest Ranch & Campground - Deadwood Lots of...

    How many miles did you ride your Tenere in the Pandemic 2020 year?

    Post your total miles for the year. Some places had stricter rules on leisure activities like riding but here in the Midwest it was pretty much normal riding season without restrictions. This is not a debate thread on why I don't wear a mask. I wear a Balaclava for warmth under my helmet so I...

    Super Smooth Super Tenere

    I was just curious if anyone else has tried this. My two Tenere's are so smooth that I just can't get enough of riding them. Nether bike has been flashed and I just do not see any reason to have it done, For me they just could not run better. I would say that I'm an easy rider and to me...
