    I gotta ask Pluric........so what side of the horse to you try to mount?

    And as for getting on the Tenere by "throwing" one leg up over the seat, my wife makes me do it every once in a while for her because she thinks the noise I have to make to do it is hilarious. She enjoys the humiliation. Hurts my feelings. But I grunt and oblige.

    Her cooking is worth it.

    I prefer "padded".


    Rear.

    My wife owns a candy store. I don't stand a chance. Plus she too is a great cook.

    Yaw talking about "OEM Roy"?

    He's a hoot. He's just anti-farkle to a fault.
    He must be the exact build of the japanese prototype bike rider. :)

    But I'm ok with him. And he is about the only colorful controversy around.

    Nah, nah, nah, Snake... You're thinking of "RonH", often referred to as "OEM Ron". He thinks anybody who spends a dime on aftermarket parts is daft and a :jerko, and he would buy his oil and filters at Goodwill if he thought they carried 'em.

    Yep, RonH throws nickels around like manhole covers... :drums

    I was talking about "ROY"... You know, the "I hate Yamaha, I hate Yamaha customer service, and anybody that likes Yamaha is an :asshat" Roy. Same guy that thinks Suzuki's are the greatest things since titanium, Yamaha's are junk, etc., etc., and writes 1,000 word rants about every phone conversation he has ever had with anyone at Yamaha. That "Roy".

    :lol3 :rofl :lol3 :rofl :lol3

    And then there's always ol' "Use Lots of Vaseline" R3B/Rema/ErnTT... :poser

    ....who had to re-teach you most everything you know about motorcycles :lol3

    And you would have to remind me about Roy Bodine. I wonder if his ears are burning as he sips a mint julep down yonder by the 'cement pond' (Ref, Beverly Hill Billies for you youngsters)

    Yup. I've rippped the mounting straps off the Airhawk several times. Put a heavy duty strap
    on it and then tore the cover. I know I teased Thanga about putting a hoist on his to lift his
    trail bike on the trailer, I'm thinking about one for me now.:wink:

    It's a post your bike shot thread not my ass. I was only thinking of you gentlemen.

    Besides, certain color bike owners could take that as a "Come hither" offer.:wink::D

    Just where do you think the black Teneres got their reputation?

    Riiiiiiggggghhhhhht.

    Thanks Dallarra.

    RonH, not Roy.

    Like I said, RonH is kinda cool. Harmless for sure.

    Roy? Yep, you jogged my memory and straightened me out there too.

    B i t t e r dude. Wakes up still mad. (I can't even remember that I was. Much less what it was about) It was either spokes are headlight harness that ruined his life.
