Ride more and consume less. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have 24,000 miles on my 2013 ST, no troubles and no desires for a newer model. As mater of fact, it will be the last new motorcycle I ever own in my lifetime. I am free of any more consumer purchases. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It is pretty ridiculous to loose a spoke at 450 miles. Yamaha can figure out ABS, and tons of other high tech stuff, but can get their spokes right. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Take the money you would spend on an Ohlin and buy a KLR 650, and motor away from your friends on BMWs Seriously though, the stock shock on the ST is remarkably good. I wouldn't worry about it unless your packing a passenger and lots of luggage. I am happy with the Penske though, on my Buell...

People who ask me a question about my Super Canary do not even know what kind of bike it is. I get asked about once a year. I keep my tinted visor closed and don't acknowledge them and ride away, adventure style.

Thanks for the photos! The super tenere radiator and radiator fan are susceptible to damage by other crash guards that go up as high as the radiator. In a fall, the taller crash guards may bend inward and mash the radiator fan into the radiator. I think the Puig are better because they will...

I run mine at the top of the sight glass. And have not had any problem. Cheers! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thank you very much! I sent $50 and included my address. I've been considering the Vstream for a while and am excited to get it! Have a great time on your 2014 Super Tenere!

Howdy! I just sent you a PM to purchase the 20" Vstream shield. Thank you!

Lowering links are a serious modification to the motorcycles suspension and should really be avoided unless it is absolutely necessary. The extra length of the link will increase the leverage to the shock and effectively make the rear spring too soft. Since the back of the bike will sag, the...

I believe the problem is with the lowering link that was installed. The extra length of the lowering link applies additional leverage to the shock. The spring does not resist the additional leverage, thus the bike sags in the back. At 170 lbs, you should be fine with the stock shock and stock...

Thank you for your excellent report! I really enjoyed it. It looks like you had a fantastic time on both paved and dirt roads! Nice to see that the Super Tenere coped well with the ride and that your wife was comfortable. I hope to do such journeys on my Super Tenere with my wife as well. Cheers!

After an afternoon rest at my campsite, I hopped on my bike with my dinner and camera in the tank bag to chase the sunset! This fantastic tree is pure art and the sunset was lighting it most favorably!

My first visit to the Black Canyon of the Gunnison about 10 years ago was so spectacular that I had to go again, and I am very glad I did! The park seemed more removed from civilization than most, the park rangers are very friendly and helpful, and there is a distinct lack of commercialization...

From Browns Park Wildlife Refuge, I worked my way to Steamboat Springs: This mural was on a bicycle shop in Steamboat Springs, next to the pub where I had lunch. The elevations were pretty high and called for my electric jacket warmer As I got into the lower elevations it warmed up...

Thank guys, I am glad your enjoying it! Food and Drink were all over the map on this adventure! This was not as good as it looks, because we were in a touristy cafe on the VERY touristy route 66. This was a pretty decent breakfast, but what stood out more was how friendly and chatty the...

Glad your enjoying my report! Traveling alone has its appeal, I must admit! Being able to just go at your own pace with no obligations or complications is a luxury. In retrospect I should have taken two days in the Flaming Gorge and Browns Park Wildlife Preserve, however I had done about 500...

After turning on to the 154, elevation increased to around 9000 ft. This alpine lake was partially frozen. Then this happened! I walked into the snow and found myself up to my knees in it. An ATV rode over the 10ft shoulder in the road and hopped around the snow blockage. No way was I going...

Leaving Cedar Breaks in the direction of Bryce Canyon National Park, I decided I'd prefer to not spend lots of money to camp in the National Park ($12 park entry plus $16 campsite fee) with lots of people. Instead, while riding I scanned the side roads for this vital symbol: Normally on such a...
