The Yamaha Super Tenere XT1200Z Big Thread

Aw shucks, thanks. (blush)

Bump.

Just saving the thread from becoming the bottom of the barrel. It was 1 topic away from the drain.

Snow must be melting everywhere.

It is certainly melting here, finally, but it's pretty cold.

That, and this stupid bikes still haven't broken. Anybody managed to break anything yet?

Look at the lake in the background.

I'm hauling a boat up this weekend and the snowmobiles are coming down.
Be a little longer before the trails are rideable.(hands rubbing)

Does a long term parking record count?

All this week I broke 100+ mph. Does that count???

I broke the bank paying to get my sorry ass, with bike to the US. Does that count - it is S10 related !

My helmet when it fell off of the S10. Dang S10 is supposed to hold the helmet in case of owner stupidity..Stupid bike.

You made it to Yankland!

Make yourself comfortable. And be careful "in the big cities". We suck at driving.

Get rural, stay rural. :)

Yeah, rural drivers are the best......


Welcome OGR!

Yeah, I can't believe Yamaha forgot to put a helmet lock thingy on this bike.

I guess they were focused on over engineering things like the final drive so they could beat the competition.

Got the Rigid SR-Series 6" light bar wired up thanks to pluric's instructions. He is not just another pretty face.








Now all I have to do is stay up late enough to ride in the dark.

I do like how the Rigid hides in a nice protected spot. Not hatin' on the
Mickey Mouse ear lights....just that they tend to be vunerable on a tip over.

This is why I went with the Rigid light bar. I have this habit of falling over on the bike.

Very nice!! I see it fits with the Touratech thing

Oh, they can fall over? I've never.... well seldom....the few times....I mean when it fell.... the not so rare times....

While trolling for camel, no doubt...

Well, it seems to happen the most when I'm in lizard country.

Lizard... Camel... What the hell... Any port in a sand storm, right?

Grand kid wanted a sand box in the back yard. First time I"ve had to say no to her.

If you read between the lines in Jaumev's ride report I think he is starting to agree.

"We reached the first oasis full of sand, rivers of sand, roads full of sand, sand and more sand ... how I miss my DRZ!! ...
with the Suzuki this track was fun but with the cow is a nightmare and I'm tired... David and Albert suffer as well in the sand,"
