I'm so new to the Super Ténéré that I don't even have mine yet! I'll be picking it up from a member here next weekend in Ohio! I'm very excited.

I still have my first bike, an '82 Virago 920, which is also a shaft drive twin, with different optimal operating environment. It is definitely the main reason I became interested in dual sport/adventure riding.




After that bike I bought a KLR and have rode the crap out of it for many years, from James Bay to Georgia.

With the wife's ninja 250


Loaded up on the dirt, almost to James bay!


Cherohala Skyway


Bought myself a Ninja 250 after riding the wife's a few times, great bike, I put 2400 miles on it in a week, beginning of June. I loved the bike, but I had problems making it fit me perfectly. It went up for sale the day after I returned from that trip.



As you can see I'm a bit large for the ninjette.




I've had plenty of projects bikes, a couple dirt bikes, I look forward to my time on the Ténéré!

I can't wait, put about 100 miles on the wife's new Versys 650, and that was awesome, so I'm really looking forward to the tenere!

Welcome from nearby Berkey, OH! I'm five miles west of Toledo and just a mile from the MI line. My wife works in Monroe. You'll love the Super Tenere.

Sweet a couple of locals! I wish I had found you guys earlier, I had to go to a dealer to even sit on a bike!

Within 4 hours of getting home from Rome, I wired my GPS up and installed the rack and bags. Tomorrow is the run up to Mackinaw
