Richard Thomas Posted July 5, 2020 Report Share Posted July 5, 2020 Hello from the Inland Empire/ San Bernardino County. Looking forward to the event in September. Gear and bike ready to go. Not sure what bike I'm taking. Either my Versys 650 set up for ADV riding or my new Tenere T700 if it arrives at the Dealership in time. The T7 looks like a JUL/AUG delivery, so I'll have to set it up quickly. I have most of the part/accessories ordered and much of it delivered already and piled up at home. I just have a few more decisions to make: soft pannier models, tires, and fresh new gear. I have a couple sets of Givi Outback Trekker boxes, but I'm going soft for the T7. I'm down with riding up to the event from San Bernardino, Los Angeles counties. Just hit me up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Eric Hall Posted July 5, 2020 Administrators My Rides (3) Report Share Posted July 5, 2020 Welcome! Def the T700!!! GIVI USA is the title sponsor of our rally Sep 3 so maybe you can win a set of their panniers!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just have to take delivery, whenever Yamaha gets around to shipping mine to the Dealership. That would be nice. I have a good size dent on one of the side 37L Outback Trekker panniers that I've yet to straighten out. doh! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Magill Posted July 6, 2020 Report Share Posted July 6, 2020 (edited) Update - found in the regional forum. What are the details of the September event? I thought I saw somewhere but can't find it now. Edited July 6, 2020 by Kyle Magill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Thomas Posted August 11, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2020 My Tenere T700 delivery is now Oct. Expecting more delays. Next T700 Dealer is getting is not the color I ordered. Going to wait for my color to arrive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Eric Hall Posted August 16, 2020 Administrators My Rides (3) Report Share Posted August 16, 2020 Bummer although I heard on FB yesterday a dealer in Palm Springs has one for sale but you probably have a deposit down already?

Richard Thomas Posted August 16, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2020 Yeah, I put $1k down on the 1st week in June. I wasn't on the Yamaha PDP pre-order on May 22nd. I found out too late. My OTD price isn't too bad, considering CA Dealer pricing for the T7. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord_Morgan Posted August 27, 2020 Report Share Posted August 27, 2020 Hey Richard I'm in Corona I'll ride up with you, when do you want to head up? And I was going to say I'd love to see how this versys is set up! How is it with the 17" front? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Thomas Posted August 29, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2020 Cool, I'll DM you my cell #. Going to mount my new rear MotoZ Tractionator GPS tomorrow, the Mitas E-07+ Daka is too low tread for this trip. I'll start packing up my gear this weekend. I do OK with the 17" front. I'll manage ok in this trip, I just can't go as hard or fast as I would have liked. Would have rather had the T7 for this trip, there is always next year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
