Hello and Happy New Year to you all!
I’m actually located just outside of Tampa, Florida in a little burb called Temple Terrace. I ordered my Super Ténéré just last week (Impact Blue) from Barney’s Brandon Yamaha-Suzuki-Kawasaki. It’ll be the fourth bike that I bought from my good friends at Barneys, although they were still squawking about me buying an XR1200 from the Harley Dealer right across the street back in 2009.
51yo (52 when the Super10 shows up), biz owner. I’ve been riding motorcycles for 40 of those years, both on and off road. It seems like I’ve been touring in the last two years more than ever. I restore vintage dirt bikes as a hobby…currently working on a 74 Aermacchi SR100 Baja that I picked up in an eBay auction from up in the Atlanta area. I also do a lot of four-wheelin’ with my local Jeep Club (have a 04 Wrangler X).
Anyway, it was kind of tough choosing a motorcycle sight unseen. Yeah, I did a ton of research on various models and my longtime yamy dealer was a big help, including hooking me up with some other guys that are on the list. Then I got this month’s AMA Magazine (perhaps you saw it) they did brief reviews of a bunch of different models, including the Super10. For each bike, they asked the question “What’s it for?” The answer for the Ténéré was, "Seeing the World." Yeah, I could do that. 8)
See you around the board…
