Hello form LI / NYC - New Guy with a 2012

[S10 Errand Runner]

Hi All,

One of those new guys with a 2012. I have owned it since 2019 and taken advantage of the many helpful techincal pictorials on this forum as I try to minimize my exposure to motor mechanic labor rates in the NYC / LI area. I usually stick to the North Fork of Long Island on weekends, but I sometimes commute to NYC / NJ and take trip to upstate New York (9W market and the reservoirs on Saturday mornings once or twice per year).

Thank you for allowing me to join the group.

Welcome aboard. Share some pix when you get a chance. I've read that is a beautiful state.

Welcome, from Texas. Yet another '12. Apparently, those are the only ones getting sold.

Upstate is. Long Island . . . . not so much. Maybe by the water.

My S10 managed to get on Google Maps once

Montauk was the last bit of land we saw every time we left Groton CT.

Where in the North Fork/NYC are you located?

Just curious, have you spent a lot of time in or have seen/visited a majority of the areas, towns, villages located in Long Island?

Maybe by the water.

No, just the overpopulated areas.

Ha! I should have been more specific. I was talking more about toward Montauk, near open water

Just as I thought.

Montauk is a quasi-peninsula. An extraordinary locale for sure.
Spent many a whole Summer out there back in the day.

I appologize for delay in responding. I am in in the East 50s / Aquebogue

My 2012 was stolen from the East 50s in NYC. I am guessing it was yanked in to a van. I wonder what they end up doing with the bikes they steal. Hoping to get it back or get a new S10.

Very sorry to hear your Tenere got stolen, my guess would be they will take it apart and sell parts , hopefully you have good insurance.

Well, with the Tenere, Cycledude is likely correct. With Tenere accessories becoming harder and harder to find, this is probably going to increase in frequency.

I have comprehensive, but the deductible is a bit annoying. I think I have to just wait out the 15 days for it to be officially deemed unrecovered.

Hey from East Tennessee, grew up in upstate. Gotta go further north to truly enjoy. Try 28 or 10 through the Mohawk valley to the north country. It’ll be an over nighter for you but well worth it!
