Graham saying that you're from down under, any way of getting that Wasp Greg fella to produce some more of his parts? Sheesh it looks like I was a little too late to the show. I just road with a journalist for a motorcycle magazine from Australia, crazy bastard he was on loose gravel. "This is how we ride in Oz!" he said.

Um Yeah, Wasp is only 4500Km or so down the road, I would love to go and pay him a visit but I'd like to watch my kids grow up.

And yes we get a lot of practice on dry dusty gravel roads. Except for the last two years where we were in danger of turning into POMS.

Back to normal now by the look of it. DUST BUGS GRAVEL, HEAT and sticky melted tar.. Good to be back. ::012::

Hey all, I just picked up a 2012 Super Tenere on Saturday this past weekend. I've been riding for a few days and am getting used to and liking it. I am coming off of a R1200GS and there are some differences but most are for the better. I met a few of you guys including I believe it is NorthWest Cajun at the Altrider Event a couple of weekends ago. I hope I'll be able to get some new information and events out of you guys. Hopefully a more mature crowd as well.

Hello, welcome and what a great bike we have IMO. ::001::

Pshh, 4500km that's just a weekend trip! Hahaha.

Went off the beaten path on Friday night for the first time in the dark no less. Couple of quick observations. I need more light! Super is much better off road than the R1200GS. All of the jumps that I was bottoming on the GS I was hitting harder and faster and didn't feel the suspension touch bottom. There was one particular jump that I hit harder than I should have and bottomed but it wasn't a wincing kind of painful bottom though I felt it. I think I need to refrain from doing too much more of that until I get an actual skid plate. I was impressed none the less. Bike still feels lighter and more stable than the GS even off road. The traction control is pretty useless in 1 and only slightly tolerable in 2. We stopped a couple of times and I forgot to shut the traction control back off and had a hard time climbing anything that was loose. All in all a good evening of riding.
