Hi All!
Wonderful site here. I have been lurking for a while.... 8)
I have been riding since I was 17. I never could afford a new motorcycle, so I got an old goldwing and did a frame up restoration on it and toured across most of america on it.
I lived in Houston for 5 years teaching at an inner city school. I just moved back home this summer with a wonderful woman that supports my riding. After selling the house, I used the equity and purchased a 2015 Super Tenere ES. This is the first new vehicle I have ever owned (cost twice as much as I paid for my truck... ???) I know its an investment and hope to get a lot of good use out of her.
I have 340 mi on the clock now, still trying to rack up miles and get ready to be swamped by farkles.
I am thinking Happy Trails panniers and engine guards, and touratech skidplate. Any interference issuses with those? I think that would be a good start for now. Im really looking forwatd to meeting up with ya'll and learning how to ride the beast properly. I need to learn how to ride dirt as I have done 99.9% of my riding on pavement.
Also, many people suggest and ECU flash... do I need to go somewhere to have this done or is it something I download?
Thanks again and keep the rubber side down!
