Howdy from Connecticut. I had been lusting after a gs1200 for years, until I saw the tenere about 6 months ago. After reading this forum, and every online article I could find, I sold my zrx1200.

My neighbor happens to be sales manager at my local Yamaha dealer, and after talking to him, I put down a deposit on an impact blue s10.

But that was in the beginning of February, and still no bike!

I though I'd join now, because once I get the bike, none of you will ever hear from me again.

Unless my spokes come undone. :)

Welcome on, Lilray. Hope you don't have to wait too long. Riding season is upon us, even up here. Almost thawed out. Give us a shout when it shows up, and some pics. ::004:: R. ::022::

Welcome! I used to ride in the Quinebaug & Thompson areas. Hope you enjoy the new ride!

Thanks for the warm welcome. Just heard from my guy, the title just showed up at the dealer today. Should have it by the end of the week!

Picked up the bike this morning! I was a little nervous at first, but once I got underway I was in love. This bike just feels good. I'm 6'5" so the buffeting was pretty bad, but I was in a good mood all day at work. Someone even told me I had a twinkle in my eye.

I told them my wife is letting my new mistress stay in the garage.

Hey up and down. I love riding up through VT. In fact, the VT and NH roads were one reason I wanted this bike. My old street bike was torture over the bumps and frost heaves. And forget about dirt...

Once I get her broken in I'd love to put some miles on up north.

Hey DJM. I'm originally from 203 land. I did a lot of hanging out in Danbury. Too bad they don't do marcus dairy on Sundays anymore.

I've got a whopping 22 miles on it right now. Hopefully the weather will be nice this Saturday so I can really get a feel for the bike.

Keep the shiny side up!
