Poncho, blanket and Intouch magazine.
The rain won but that don’t stop Kebro

Breakfast at Butterfields with Bear.


So now it’s coffee in an art gallery and finding breakfast on the road. (If we can get the “Burt Monroe” to start that is)


For the last minute room at the Hibiscus. The B part of B&B starts at 8am, which should give us a good start. Unless this Mount Gay Rum kicks in that is.

to West Palm Beach!! (…like 8 hours after we picked up this hack…. not bad considering KB only had to peddle when we were going uphill)
Well, the Tenere is sitting at home this weekend while I try my hand at a sidecar rig thanks to my sweety’s xmas present: a three day rental.
For those of you still following after my long hiatus please note that 2013 will bring more rides (and more updates… some of which might even be entertaining.
Here’s this weekend’s steed.

4 crossings, 400 miles.
Fair amount of bugs to clean off tomorrow.
Almost exactly 200 miles.
Should I turn this into a 1000 mile run??
First cross done, decided just now to not actually try to get to water…to much surface street action on amateur drunk driving day.
So eggs…then back.
Rick at the Waffle House says 2011 was a good year for him. He learned alot. Learned not to let small stuff bother him. Good lesson Rick
Alligator Alley back and forth as many times as I can until I run out of weekend, gumption or luck.
Start

I think a new mini trip is formulating in my mind…. standby for details. And a website rework.
I blame this book, and the moustache. For more on the stash check out my mo space. http://mobro.co/RolieMo

I don’t think any one who read this whole blog is gonna be surprised about this post.
( No where near as surprised as I am that anyone would read the whole blog, that is)
This is a great bike.
Period. End of post.
No kidding, lets see if I can get specific.
First there’s the ass interface. Every bike I’ve ever owned or ridden for any length of time has been a standard, when it comes to seating position. That means, back straight, feet directly below the knees that are bent at 90 or close to it. Kinda like sitting in a chair, albeit a 100 mph chair.
The Tenere is the same. This seating position is in my opinion the best one for a bike you plan to use for long distance work. Sport bike with a lean forward posture or cruisers with a lean back posture just get uncomfortable after a while. I’m sure others will have other opinions, but they can do it on their own blogs.
The bike it tall, which for me really ads to the comfort, but is very well balanced, even fully loaded I never had a problem with keeping it under me and under control. Even offroad, although I didn’t do anything to hardcore.
Zero problems, except for the oil light coming on for a minute in the morning once I hit about 5000 miles but I think that was either computer chip telling me to do a service or it was cold weather. either way now that service is done haven’t seen that light.
Long story short, great bike, ride it if you get a chance. Buy it if you can find one. Not mine though, I’m keeping that baby.

You guys like my ramblings you should sign up for Tom’s pic of the week. He usually gives us funny stories in addition to some nice pictures he’s taken.


Done.
Stay tuned for gear reviews for those gear nuts interested. Find out what worked and what didn’t.
Sorry about the lackluster posts on this last ride. That’s what happens when you only focus on mileage I guess.
Now I got a long over due date with a pressure washer. After a double espresso that is. Don’t call me dopio.
