With the earthquake and subsequent problems in Japan, the buyers of the Super Tenere had to wait for the new bikes to come. And wait.
During that wait, the prospective owners discussed their realizations about what the Japanese were going through. Once the bikes came and new owners started to see what the Japanese had developed and built, the owners forum (many are current/ex FJR owners) collected together, made a poster, and personally expressed their thanks and support to Yamaha.
Rather than disappearing into the maw of the corporation, actual Yamaha employees whom we had been thinking of the whole time got to answer. With a banner of their own!
This is REALLY cool!
