- - Bad luck!! ( https://www.xt660.com/showthread.php?t=15380)

Yahoo!!! Tomorrow morning, I'm going to pick up my trusty ol' Tenere, all repaired and then some! The damage was 1600,- euro's, which included:
-pannierframe and panniers;
-centrestand;
-handlebar&risers/clamps;
-complete rear(taillight and licenseplate holder, turnsignals, licenseplate);
-reartyre(Tourance);
-rearhandle protectors;
-some small parts.
The frame, swingarm and rearwheel were just fine, no damage there, luckily!
Also replaced was my one week old Rev'it Defender jacket(complete new price refund), seperate from the motorcycle damage.

Also ordered(but not arrived as of this moment): frontfender enlargener& rear wheel hugger, both from Off-the-road(see piccies).
The AIS also blocked in the meantime(at the cilinderhead and airfilterchamber); no more "poppin'"!
So long S10, welcome back Tenere660!
Greetz, Hans.

Glad you're ok!!! Sorry to hear about the bike ...

I had a ball today!! Ridin' my Ten for the first time again since the accident and it was GREAT!! How I missed that lil' ******, what a sweet machine it is and it makes me smile from ear to ear! It was good ridin' weather and the engine purred like a cat. I liked the S10 for two weeks, but I'm glad to have the 660Ten back, I wouldn't trade it for a S10, no way, Jos�!!

By the way, now the AIS is blocked, it turns out to ridin' more relaxed now the "poppin'" is gone, I like it this way. Recommended, people!

Greetz, Hans

P.s.: now it's only waitin' for the two rear handgrip covers, which weren't in stock with YamahaNL; also the two items from Off-the-road from Germany haven't arrived yet, probably next week or so.....

Good to hear you're back on the road..

Good result and A lucky escape looks like the pannier rails and panniers saved your ass. Ewan Mc Gregor suffered a similar attack from a car durring the Long way round again it was the panniers and rail that saved him and his bike.

hope the aches and pains are all better

It�s when you have an accident and feel instant pain you know it's bad times! Seems like you escaped the ole� nasty road rash at least, looks like you are extremely lucky, and I hope things go smoothly with sorting the bike!

It could have cost you much more if you would have fallen in love with the xt1200z:icon_biggrin:
