Used my powered tonneau to collect ice today... Should I see if it still works?

Nice Tuareg! It seems a lot of the motorcycles I see on this forum are a little bit out of the norm. I dig it and love Ape's in general, but it's certainly not a common bike. Happy trails!All kinds of stuff, latest was picking up the new bike.

I’d been hankering for a Tenere 700 for a long time but haven’t been willing to pay the marked up prices I’ve been seeing. Went and rode the Tuareg and damn if it isn’t one of the most balanced feeling bikes I’ve ridden. It’s surprisingly agile feeling on road, almost sport bike like and off-road it’s as good as I can want for an ADV style 450lb bike.Nice Tuareg!

Nice! Yeah I’ve been itching for a Desert X, pretty much the Ducati equivalent, but have been too lazy to pull the trigger because I don’t currently have time to do any Offroad type riding. But I will eventually. Mostly I ride a V4 Pikes Peak Multistrada at the moment.I’d been hankering for a Tenere 700 for a long time but haven’t been willing to pay the marked up prices I’ve been seeing.

I sat on a Desert X when I was picking up the Tuareg yesterday. Nice position with the seat/pegs/bars but the seat width was a little wide for my comfort. It’s a good looking bike though and the suspension geometry and build quality looked good.Nice!

Yeah I’d likely go that way just because I have a good relationship with my local Ducati dealer. So the service and side perks kind of keep me in the brand. I’m actually thinking about a Monster SP at the moment to do a couple track days in this year. I usually ride big bikes, but I’m thinking to go on a small bike. But the Aprilia lineup is pretty strong at the moment,,,lot of interesting bikes.I sat on a Desert X when I was picking up the Tuareg yesterday.

I test road a Multistrada, what a beast of a machine, loved it, but I went with a 1200GSA because of local maintenance shop, fuel tank size and a ton of 3rd party mods and supportNice!

Yep, I definitely understand that. I’ve had 3 GS’s over the years and they’re great bikes.I test road a Multistrada, what a beast of a machine, loved it, but I went with a 1200GSA because of local maintenance shop, fuel tank size and a ton of 3rd party mods and support
Ha, offroad anything heavier than a 500 KTM is too heavy to pick up! Generally I save my real offroad riding for actual dirtbikes. But I really like adventure bikes in general…comfortable, fast, can do some light off-roading.GS’s are great until you have to pick it up off-road. That gets old fast. I am partial to the boxer engine though as it saved my leg when I got t-boned by a car last summer.
Nice work on the bed extender.
