Yamaha Super Tenere test ride
Had a chance to take the new Super Tenere out today for a few hours, lots of fun, great bike, seriously better than a BMW GS. KTM Adventure would have the edge off road I think. Still the S10 held it's own, even 2up.

XTs, TTs, XTZs, C90s?
What do the above have in common?
Thumpers, or indeed, thumpettes.
Dave and I crashed the XT500 forum run at Llanthony Priory on saturday. There were some nice beasts there, and it was good to catch up with a few people too.
More thump
In bits.
A bearing has gone inside the gearbox, and the engine requires splitting. This is job number one. After that job number two is reassembly, followed by job number three which is building a sidecar for it.

Done
After a busy day the old trumpet has fresh oil and filter, fresh coolant, and I cut and buffed the £20 rattle can paint. Come up nice.

In the ghetto
Today saw the Tenere getting some hoodlum love as I made the link pipe up for the Ghettotrapp silencer (Micron race silencer with Supertrapp end plates) that I'd made at the end of last year. I thought I'd get some practice in TIGing up the tube before making the system for SB#3. Quite pleased, though I need to be more consistent with my filler rod.
