    almost full set of front and rear spokes

    YTZ14S overheat

    I'm finally getting around to resurrecting my Tenere that has been sitting idle for the better part of two years. I fired it up periodically over that time and even replaced the stale gasoline in the tank about a year ago. But it's been probably at least 9 months since I last fired it up. I...

    unloading

    For various reasons, some good some not, I have not ridden the 2013 Super Tenere sitting in my garage for almost two years. Time to face reality and just get rid of the thing. In addition to the bike, which only has about 5500 miles on it (best guess from memory), I have a ton of related stuff...

    Was watching some Basecamp how-to videos and came across this excellent comparison of the 590LM vs. 660LM: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PBU65cOk5Gk I've owned the 660LM for a couple of years. The 590LM looks like a major upgrade, but is priced accordingly. The 660LM can be had for around...

    Earth to Snakebitten ...

    Snake - I don't know you so I'm officially prying. I thought about PMing you but I'm sure there are a lot of people on this forum who are wondering the same thing. After establishing yourself as pretty much the heart and soul of this forum you went dark for six months, then suddenly returned...
