Congratulation on your retirement, from me and everyone else at :660:

Enjoy your new life!!

Thanks Capt....I've been grinning like an idiot for days. Bought 2 sets of Gore Tex "Bikers" riding suits today. Getting my crap together slowly.

Thanks Stoic, I misled you in my previous post. It should have read HU meet at Rilpley UK and not HUMM - sorry.
I may be happy in retirement but age can be cruel to your brain !

Congrats on both the dual retirements and the purchase.

Thanks Tim. 8.4 meters. Self contained, generator, auto sattelite, air con - everthing. We will be living in it for some time and SWAMBO wanted two longditudinal benches for holding parties (!!!) hence the size.
It's two years old and the guy that had it first spent a LOT of money on it making it a go anywhere MH. Rear door has to widened yet to get SWAMBOs quad in and a tow bar has to be fitted to take the new XT1200Z.

OGR

Well done Ray have a great time in your new bus, it looks the dog's.

Fair point I think a lot of us did and were not disapointed :Tongue_HKIM7O: must say I am sick with envy, enjoy

Well, congratulations to those who have ordered a Super Ten but on "the" Tenere forum that's not very many, one has to wonder if Yamaha has got the pricing wrong.

...or selling method. I mean, how many people buy a bike for �13500 on trust...from Yama-luvverly-kwalitee-cush-drive-rubbers-and-electriks-ha-ha-ha.

Yooooour avin a larf!!!

I'm seriously considering it now... Hope its realibilty is better than the XTZ (its broken down AGAAINNN!!) first loverly perfect weekend, take my jacket liner out weekend. 3 miles from home. Wait for the pick up van..again.

Rubbish.

The quality of the Super Tenere will be better then the 660(although mine's just fine with only some minor flaws), because it's built and manufactured in Japan and the 660 in Spain(at first in Italy).

My thoughts exactly. And I like to be patriotic (wifey is native japanese)

What is it that keeps breaking down on your bike ?

Rectifier was replaced about a month ago. Same symptoms saturday. They checked at the dealers after they came and collected me and the bike.

They are going to phone Yamaha to get a proper fix, rather than just replace the rectifier again...

And everything is innertuberised and stuffed full of water repellant rubber friendly grease, and it was dry Saturday...and warm...and sunny...and I got 3 miles.
