Been absent from class for almost 2 1/2 years and figured it's time to jump back in again! I moved to FJR's for the last couple years after selling my '12 Tenere and recently sold my last FJR. Thought I would throttle back a bit and ride my '13 Wee.

Well, how quickly things change........ Thought I'd do a little window shopping for Teneres again to see what's out there and stumbled onto a pretty decent listing - of all places - HERE. Imagine that! ::003::

Anyway, working through the logistics now to go pick it up in the next week or so. In the meantime, I need to reacquaint myself with what GPS mounting options, etc.

Good to be back!!

Thanks Jeff. Not much more for details yet. Will be traveling to Boise within the next two weeks and will ride home one that looks a lot like yours!!! ::022::

Next, the Wee will go up for sale. Then I'll start taking a ration of crap from Chuck, Whit and a few others for being a bike slut. What more can I say?? ::017::

Well Rod it took longer than your usual 1-2 years before you changed bikes again. ::025::
And I am seriously looking at the 2016 FJR and will probably sell the Tenere and the ST1300 to get it.
I have a friend who is looking for a Wee, so let me know the details when you decide to sell it.

Well, in case you don't remember the sequence:
2008 FJR1300
2012 XT1200
2013 FJR1300
2014 FJR1300
2015 XT1200

With a sprinkling of Burgman and a couple Wee's in the mix.

AFAIK, D&H has the best price going on the '16 FJR's. That's where Adam K got his. I know how you are with BLUE bikes, so maybe you need a BLUE Wee to go with your new FJR!!!

Mine will go up for sale once the Tenere is in the garage. I've not even had time to think about price. Swing by and take a look at it if you like.

Rod

Thanks guys! Good to be back and anxious to pick up the new bike to see what I have been missing for the last 3 years! I had just under 20k miles on the '12, so I need to at least beat that on the new one before I hang up my helmet!!!

Thanks! It seems there are certain bikes that we rotate back to over the years. I always figured the Tenere was one of them, I just didn't know when!!!
