Had been looking at this for a week or so. Yesterday I brought it home.
Sooo much easier to ride than the Wing!

It's a 2006, not new, but I'm already having fun! :)

Nice bike Tim. I've sure enjoyed getting off of the pavement on my bike. There's a bunch to see around here.

Part of my 100+ mile ride this afternoon was to upholstery shop to check on seat modification.
Going to try shaving/reshaping, then replacing the factory foam first. If it works good, I won't have the multi-hundred $ investment for some of the aftermarket jobs.
Some of the off-highway riding today brought back old dirt bike memories...just needed some 2-stroke noise and smoke. :)

Congrats Tim! I have no plans to part with my ST anytime soon. But it sure is nice to ride something different when I want a change of pace.

Congrats Tim! I enjoy my Wee (06) when riding alone and TN back rds or just running errands around town. Like Keith, I'm not ditching the ST, there's a whole other fun factor and comfort riding it. Enjoy your new ride!

It is great to have an additional bike that you can do roads and trails like these on. Alot of things to see OFF the pavement.

Congrats on the new bike.

Here's a DIY seat option that gets good reviews on the Super Tenere forum. I haven't tried it myself but I think I might.

Thanks Guys.
It is great to have more than 1 ride.
I think anyone that loves motorcycles, should have at least 2 of them.
Thanks Jeff F, for the link to custom seats.

Congrats. I love my '08 Wee and it has kept 24,000 miles off the ST.

So, when are you and Keith coming over for a DS ride? I'm really liking the K60s. They got abused last Sunday and did a stellar job on the trail.
