Twin Cities Area Campfire BS Thread

Bring back Blakes 7, that's what I say.

I really miss CHiPs

Ponch was a such a hoser

He was a wanker.

He may actually still be,

Nearly the weekend.

Not before time, I might add.

Got this in my e-mail today - thought it might be of interest to some.

Yamaha Preview at Waldoch Sports
The All New 2012 Yamaha Super Ténéré Sport/Tourer Motorcycle will be here on sneak preview Dec 10th & 11th. Stop by and See this great new machine for yourself. Just some of its features include-

• The Super Ténéré is built for adventure, with an all-new, exceptionally compact 1199cc parallel twin with a unique 270° crank for excellent torque and traction. Engine mass is kept low for excellent handling. Narrow 2-cylinder inline engine is slim and compact for carving tight lines in twisty mountain roads.
• Wide-ratio 6-speed transmission has the right gear, whether on the open highway or off-road.
• Twin downdraft fuel injection with YCC-TTM (Yamaha Chip Controlled Throttle) delivers optimum throttle control and acceleration. 2-position “D-Mode” (Drive Mode) throttle-response mapping for rider preference.
• Traction control lets the rider get on the gas with more confidence. It regulates ignition timing and fuel injection based on wheel spin. Three modes available to match rider preference, including off.
• Super Ténéré has both an Antilock Braking System (ABS) and Unified Braking System. With the Unified Braking System, squeezing the front brake alone also provides some rear-wheel braking; pressing the rear brake first overrides the Unififed Braking System for traditional separate front and rear braking action.
• Whether riding across town or crossing a continent, rider comfort and convenience are important. Super Ténéré delivers, with an adjustable seat height and windshield, tunable front and rear suspension, low-maintenance shaft drive, and more.
• Special spoked wheels carry tubeless tires.
• Multi-function carrier system on back is ready for luggage and touring accessories.

We look foreword to seeing you here!

Coo-ell.

Might have to swing down and have a shufti at that.

Sure wish they would bring the "regular" Tenere here, 1200 cc on a dual sport is too much, I think they would have better luck with this.

But can't you order that tenere and have them shipped over? I thought I heard they were doing that. Pay a deposit and they ship one for you.

I think dfc should go and order one so that we can all look at it and go "ooooh" and "aaaah".

Oh my that thing is purdy! Somehow it made it past my radar this long and now I want one - thanks.

That Super Tenere is going to be at Moon Motorsports in Monticello in a couple of weeks too. I think I'll check it out there, since that's more closerer.

Like you I'd be much more interested in the 660 vs. the 1200

No you can't order the 660 here in the states the 1200 is being sold like the early FJRs were. There's a ordering period where you put $500 down and then they ship how ever many people order. But that's the 1200 not the 660 shown above.

that's not the current 660

the current one looks like Rick Moranis blew up a GI Joe bike

I like that 660 too.

Damn - sucks that they are not making those available.

Guess I'll have to make do with my new Tiger.

Or you could have some of your U.K. peeps pack up a couple Transalps for us and ship them over

I'll take a white Fazer8 abs while you're at it. Stupid Yamaha NA is only bringing the naked FZ8.

I could do that, indeed I could.

Oh look, I've gone and made a mess of myself

Where have you been, under a rock?
