Re: Oxford heatgrips electric ? First off - The Oxford grips are GREAT. You will be happy with them. The auto shutoff feature is nice if you forget to turn them off. The controller senses if the motor is off and turns the grips off for you. Be sure to read the install manual...

I use Sena units and enjoy music and Kindle books on longer rides when connected to my Android smartphone over Bluetooth (no wires). The books especially help stave off boredom when on longer rides. It's also nice to be able to receive phone calls in the helmet. The noise canceling software in...

If folks are interested in coming out to the Pacific NW, at least as far as Idaho and Montana, there are some good options. I made a post on my blog about the Lolo Hot Springs Resort in western Montana. It's near the Idaho Backcountry Discovery Route. It has tent camping, cabins and RV parking...

There a thread on the site you might find interesting on adding a 4.8 gallon fuel cell: http://www.yamahasupertenere.com/index.php?topic=5810.0

I prefer having the GPS closer to the grips so it can easily be reached while riding. This is easy to do with a RAM mount designed for NUVIs . I have a Nuvi on the left side and a Garmin 78 on the right side. Amazon link >> http://amzn.to/2fsT918

I have the Sunbrella top with vinyl sides and like this combo. I've ridden in both warm weather and pouring rain in the cold and it's all good. I especially like the breath ability in warm weather. I should have done this a LONG time ago. I also got the heating element which is a real plus up...

Just when you thought you had this stuff figured out... Mitas comes out with a new 90/10 radial tire. The Terra Force -R - $299 for a front and rear w/shipping via eBay The E-07 is $295...

I put 8000 miles on my first set of Anakee 3s and really liked them. I had enough tread left that I saved them looking to get another couple thousand miles some day. The rear wears well but the front seemed to wear faster and scallops. I agree that the rear tire hooks up well on gravel and dirt...

It's common to have a bike fail to start after some time sitting. Not all battery tenders are alike. Cheap ones sold for just a few bucks at Harbor Freight do not have the charging circuitry to monitor the battery's state and adjust from charge to float. Thousands of motorcycle owners swear by...

After looking at the 1" of rain forecast for Wednesday and Thursday, I may have been the first to bug out and head for parts of the radar map that were not covered with green. I'm glad you guys had some dry riding on Wednesday. It seems like the weather came in bands extending from the SW to...

I'm looking at maps and places to visit with road tires on Wednesday and Thursday. I put two routes together, one to the North Rim and another to Bryce Canyon. You can see them in this folder: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B8GBQeKr5jQEUmxMVXlQQ21nTnM?usp=sharing Here's a link to the...

Iron Butt Rally rules limit bikes to 11.5 gallons total for fuel. I hear that came from the days when the GL1500 was popular and its tank held 6.5 gallons and it was easy to find a 5 gallon auxiliary tank. Gasoline weighs 6.3 pounds per gallon so it's not really a weight issue as a 10 gallon...

Here's an update on the new tank Ernie built for me. It's all painted and tomorrow I'll finish the fuel and vent lines then test her out! Thanks EricV for all your help. I made a few blog posts about the tank and how to get things setup. http://oregonmoto.blogspot.com/

Hello Jesse Man, There are a bunch of us riding Teneres here in the Portland and PNW area. Here's the link for the Facebook site: https://www.facebook.com/groups/508180775912122 If you have time off, some of us will be at the Super Tenere Rally in Utah during the week of Sept. 19. It's tent...

Making plans for the trip and confirming: Group tent camping is available for $13 a night with no advance registration required? Just so up? Group camp area is already reserved for Tenere rally? There are no additional fees for pool etc...? Looks like buffet breakfast available at a good...

I'm working on planning some rides while I'm at the Rally in a couple of weeks. I'll have street tires on and so will be looking for paved routes. No BDR for me this month... I'm looking a this website that has lots of great rides in and around Utah...

I'll be riding down from Oregon leaving on Monday the 19th and riding to Ely, NV to stay at the Nevada Hotel and Gambling Hall. It's a cool historic hotel. The Monday ride is a long one, 740 miles. I'll leave early in AM, stop for breakfast to break things up and then finish the day riding to...

Hi Doug, Let me know when you're riding by and I'll join you guys for the trip down there. The bunk house is always open too. Looking forward to the trip! ;-) Paul
