  • A quick look at my Yamaha T700, before I start making a few changes to it. Beautiful bike with 6300 miles and a fair amount of Yamaha accessories.#T 700 #tenere700 #tenereoffroad

    Bike is loaded, kaoko throttle lock, risers and now the trail max mission. Awesome Sir!

      Thank you Abe, the bike was mint condition, had lots of good options and I knew the guy who owned it for 15 years. It took 2 seconds to do the math sell V650 & XR650 for a Tenere and have extra trip money. It’s one amazing machine.

      Hi Frank, Yes that working gets in the way. Not the video I was hoping for, ended up getting stung by an angry KTM bee 🐝 and didn’t realize the camera was off. Had to get something out before making more changes.
      Take care.

    Beautiful bike with lots of nice extras. Congratulations again. I hope your insect sting is OK. That friction cruise control is a version I had not seen before. Nice! Should be great for your upcoming adventure.

      I learned to keep the cuffs on the sleeves tightened, that’s for sure.
      Hard to believe it will be parked at a coffee shop at the beach of the Atlantic Ocean.
      Great to hear from you Rob.

    Bike looks beautiful and nicely farkled.
    Hehe the TMM tires are very heavy. The good news is, if you get a flat, you can still ride on the rear for sure. - Frank

      @verbalwidget7267  Před rokem

      I was shocked at the tire weight and the amount of balancing weights used. I almost feel like taking the tire someplace else and see if it's correct but it's on the bike, and time is ticking away. Panniers and bags tomorrow. I would like to get a small trip in to test the tires this week.

      Thank you Greg, totally unexpected. Never ever thought a Tenere would be in the garage. Everything lined up to get it.
      I’m sure the next month I’ll get plenty of “bonding” time on the bike.

    Not sure how the KLR is going to feel about this, sharing the stable with a younger sexy Tenere!

    • @verbalwidget7267
      @verbalwidget7267  Před rokem

      The KLR still has a place, older, simpler and slower is something we both share and relate too. Compared to the KLR the Tenere look like alien technology.
