    Yamaha Super Tenere 1200

    I'm sorry to hear the news, but it's not that big a deal for me, all things considered. I suppose I'll let the PDP payment ride. Never pre-farkled so that's all I have invested. If the whole thing is cancelled and my deposit is returned, might just donate to the cause, like Red Cross. I'm...

    That's very nice. I'd like to get in on that. Now I have a reason to join AMA. Just hope there's some 2012s in 2011 to participate. The way things are going across the big pond, it could be iffy.

    WFO10 - CANCELLED!

    If you ride (drive) anything other than the FJR, you suck! I don't care how comfy the Wing is! :P Hey! Hey! Now is that nice? Maybe I'll leave my Wingobaggo home and bring the Super10 (iffn it gets here by then).

    I was thinking of the TraX also, but they can't do this: https://afewmoremiles...palenque009.jpg Two adult sparkling beverages (Mexican) on each side and if one gets the optional roof rack for panniers, that makes for eight cans! You could invite your buds over for a frostie. p.s. for the...

    Yamaha Super Tenere 1200

    " I am putting on 1,000 immediate miles on my Super Tenere; since I want Jerold of D & H to do the 1st service on the bike. After I drop by bike off back in Cullman, Alabama for its service, " Just curious if you know what the first service consists of. Assuming oil/filter change.

    Yamaha Super Tenere 1200

    I read the biz section of the Sunday Denver Post this past weekend (I was desparate for something-anything to read) in the weekly stock/commodity/interest page, IIRC, one back was offering something around 4.2%. I'd check it, but today was recycling day here, so the Post took its rightful place...

    I've been getting the check for five years now, but I drive a school bus for fun and profit. Not a bad job. Pays pretty good and I get summers off...

    Yamaha Super Tenere 1200

    It's possible the rate is available then. I will also check with my dealer (Fort Collins Motorsports) to see what they say. I think your Sales Manager is blowing smoke since Yamaha is stating "delivery starting in May". I've read too many negatives on the Yamaha luggage and plan to go with the...

    Yamaha Super Tenere 1200

    Hmmm, that's the rate that Coyote Motorsports quoted me. I have one on order with them, but I never got an order number which I plan on pursueing today. Sales Manager told me I could possibly get my Raven sometime in March, as they ordered 5 units and expect them in March. This store has sold...

    Red? Better than the gay blue... :rolleyes: I will be going with the Raven which has a few red highlights, so maybe red wheel striping and other bits in red. How do I know blue is gay? IIRC a few years back Warchild tol' me so and we know he is right about everything...

    Yamaha Super Tenere 1200

    I've been following the blogs on the S10 since I first learned about it and once Yamaha made the big pdp announcement I got 'serious' about it. Kinda like when the FJR pdp was announced, I pounced on that one too in 2002. I saw that D&H was taking orders way below msrp and I thought that I...

    Buell, how bad are they?

    On my way to Alaska a couple of years ago I was riding the Canadian Rockies and rode for a while with a couple of others I met on the road. One fellow from Iowa had a brand new Ulyses he had recently purchased. Sweet looking bike and he was quite happy with it. We camped overnight at a KOA...

    Back in '02 when I did my PDP the dealer did the paperwork on the spot and I got the 'pink' sheet and a confirmation number, I believe my place in line was #276. At least that was what my vin# reflected. I don't believe they shipped them out willy-nilly. Bike arrived 7/31/2002 and I was...

    Rally Shirt for My Wife

    I received the signed WFO9 rally shirt the other night for my wife Debbie, who is battling ovarian cancer. Those of you who have either fought this battle or have had friends and relatives who have appreciate what a terrible experience this is. My wife and I were touched to receive this signed...
