For Winnipeg and the surrounding area!

I also spotted that GS at wildwood. I was drooling over it while they go me my gloves I ordered. I'm sure you guys will be proud to know I am now geared up from the feet up! Got solid stuff, can't wait to have a tech day so I can show you guys what I got and get some input.

Good stuff, Mel, we should have a tech day this riding season... whenever it get here, LOL

It would be nice to have a luncheon, kind of a pray for summer theme to it... anyone up for something before the end of March ?

For those vertically (inseam!) challenged KLR drivers, note that someone local in Charleswood (not me) just listed a Sargent brand lowered seat for $300 on Kijiji: http://manitoba.kijiji.ca/c-cars-ve...er-Sargent-Seat-for-KLR650-W0QQAdIdZ465212602<!-- google_ad_section_end -->

Nice looking seat - decent price (IMO).

Good for you Mel...better safe than sorry, as you already know . Also means wearing it all the time...even when it's 150degrees outside! Good luck with your up coming trip!

Thanks guys. ATGATT, right.

Chris was so nice as to give me a GoPro Hero 3 for Christmas so you guys will be getting an awsome RR.

I'm down for a lunch, you guys pick a time and a place and we'll both be there!
we work mon-fri 9-5 however.

Lucky...Love to have the latest Go Pro...still stuck with Hero 1...doing what I can with it. Great to be able to video everything and see it later or post it so everyone else can see it Wish I had one in my younger stupider days...oh well, have to be stupid again I guess

Now you are ready and i hope your gear never needs to protect you. Did you do some PlastiDip painting ??

Hi,

No I did not. I went with a different kind of paint but I'm waiting until the weather gets warmer so I can paint it outside. I went to Rondex and got myself a cleaner and a spray-on paint adhesive. Don't worry, once my tank has been finished I'm gonna prepare my plastic and paint it ASAP. I'll post pics.

I drool over this Super Tenere' and only $16,000!

The very Meaty and Slick World Crosser Edition of the Super Ten!

But I have to beat back the BMW drones once and a while...

What's the difference between the two, I only see a few minor changes? Engine size? The Crosser looks like a nice machine!

I painted my front fender on the KLR nearly 8 years ago, using Krylon Fusion for Plastic. If your bike is originally Aztec Red, Krylon #2325 Burgundy is an exact match.

Still looks like the day I painted it. No surface prep, except to degrease with rubbing alcohol.

Carl, I noticed they took that 40lb. exhaust can off the Yamaha and stuck on an AKRO.... nice, but lots of $$$$.

I saw the Tenere in Wildwood, nice looking bike for sure, however it too will $20K farkled.

How incompetent is MPI ??????
I went to the broker for renewal today and the statement in the mail showed the amount of 1362 $ for the bike.
At the broker it changed to1406 $. We gave MPI a call and their response was that their computer is sometimes wrong and to go with the one at the broker. WTF!!!!!??????
This shows again how !X@#! they are.

That's ok with me .I started riding on a XT, rode a few different model over the years and always liked Yamaha. To me it is the no1 manufacturer out of Japan.

Not for me. Although I could easily own a bike from any of the big four Japanese manufacturers, Honda reigns for me - so good they're boring! Generally tops in reliability and quality IMO too.

I love the look of the Super ten. This summer I must try one....

The World Crosser is the same bike as the Tenere', just a "looks" package you can buy to dress it up.

The new 2013 at Winnipeg Yamaha has a $15,999, I spent about $900 on my side cases, so with tax that top white one would run about $19, 500 with taxes and fees.

The BMW and Yamaha are nice bikes for sure but too much $$$$ for me. I'll stick with the KLX and KLR for a while. $20k would almost buy both my bikes with farkles.
