Hello from the Donut Hole

[Smellyhound]

My name is Paul. From The Columbia Basin in WA State. Ive been over on StromTrooper and ADVrider for a few years. I just ordered a 2012 Raven Super Ten (should be here next week ::012:: ). I know Hoebster has been on here for a while. This place looks like a pretty good resource. Keeping the Wee just for giggles and commuting ::008::

Welcome from other side of the country ::004::

 

[Smellyhound]

Thanks very much. Ive only done a short 5 mile test ride to compare to the Triumph Explorer before I purchased. The Super Ten is a fantastic bike. I'm glad I did my research and made the right choice. Cant wait to get it out on the road ::26::

Welcome aboard. I tried to keep my Wee, but it was redundant. On the other hand, my Yamaha WR250R is a wonderful compliment to the Super Ténéré.

Welcome from the very Midwest... Oklahoma!

Congrats on your purchase. You are going to love the bike. I still have my Strom, but it never gets ridden as the XT gets all my love now.

Greetings from the other Washington and welcome aboard! The Tenere will make you smile . . . and ride in the rain . . . and stuff like that. Enjoy! ::004::

paul, welcome to the other side. Um I am afraid our little wee may become neglected, or so has been the case for many here after switching. Just saying, and welcome. Any questions you may have, please let me know. Where did you buy from? I got mine in Cle Elum, Sportland, Yamaha. see you later.

Welcome on, Paul Smellyhound from Washington. Congrats on the purchase of your new Tenere. I toasted mine recently, and just found out today that my new 2013 is in vancouver, B. C., even as I type. I'm thinking you're gonna get to ride yours before I get to ride mine. That's OK. ::004:: to the Forum. Send up some pics when you get him all decked out. R ::022::

a simple hello, Smellyhound.....

 

[erenet]

::004:: to the forum, I've learned lots here.

I toasted mine recently, and just found out today that my new 2013 is in vancouver, B. C., even as I type.

Hope you feeling better, gray or white.

Ha ha ha ::025::Good to see some familiar faces. In response to Hoebster: I purchased at Experience Power Sports in Moses Lake. Great folks to deal with. Gave me a smokin' deal. No pressure sale, let the bike sell itself. GorgeRider! havent seen ya in ages (then again I'm not on as much either). Again thanks for the welcome.
I do have some ulterior motives in keeping my Wee. My son rides an old POS '79 Suzuki GS850. Its not the most reliable (got stuck in Skamokawa a couple years ago with him) I figure until he gets a more reliable bike he will be welcome to ride the Wee on our yearly adventures. Next year is the Steens Mt Loop and Alvord hot springs. I seriously doubt his 850 will be up to the task (barely sputtered over North Cascades this year) I trust the Wee a bit more. ::008::
