I'm sitting at work looking at the photos of your trip....great stuff, wish I was there too!!
Not had a chance to use my bike for three weeks now but I've got a day off tomorrow and will be out and about for sure! |
Nord Kapp
Considering that bike did a round trip from Croatia to the Nord Kapp and back before going RTW it's hanging together pretty well.

All good news
Really glad to read all the positive stuff about the Tenere as I have just yeaterday bought one. I was forced to get rid of my Africa Twin as it was becoming a liability due to the amount of repairs it needed (and somebody made me an offer I cound not refuse!). I had been eyeing up the Tenere in our local show room for the past six months and had asked for a test ride but they said no as it hadn't even got oil in it!. So when my hand was forced I gambled and bought the 09 Blue Tenere having not ridden one before. Have done 120 miles in 36 hours and what fun. I also find the seat excellent by comparrison to the AT.
One thing though, can't switch between Km's and Miles as described in the little book of wisdom that comes with it. Is there a trick? Living in Guernsey I tend to tour in France and as a result the Km funtion would be very handy. Any help with this greatfully recieved. Sure its simple and I am just being dumb. Cheers |

Hope this helps and by the way wekcome to the 'In' crowd and congratulations on your choice of bike. PS Check that the connector at the end of the loom is seated correctly and fully home into the reg / rectifier to elleviate any future problems!!!:024: |
Thanks for that SteveD. Worked first time. Have checked the connectors and seem good but will look again in daylight hours.
Cheers |
That's good. :eusa_clap:
The thing to keep an eye on is to make sure that the male / female connectors are making a firm connection as any looseness will result in the connections heating up and making the plastic surround go brittle. Use your imagination to make sure that no water can get in. Have fun. |

Glad you're enjoying it, the Tenere was my first bike also bought unridden and it's been great. Looks like there are 3 forum members here from Guernsey now. You, TimM and myself (come Christmas I am moving back to the island). Still think the Khaki is better than the blue you both have though:110: |

So what have you done with tim and corie? Terry(sibirsky extreme) |

I said good bye to Tim and Cory in Astrakhan in Russia because they couldn't wait for my bike to be fixed. I was in Astrakhan for 17 days waiting for the parts. There was an customs issue... Russians wanted to send the parts back to Croatia. But I successfully recived the parts, somehow... Canadians are now in Texas, driving to California and then up to Vancouver. You should be at home now? |
!7 days is a long time waiting for parts, thats how russia works though mate.
Good to see you got home okay, i thought that tim and corie might be visiting the uk so i could catch up with them . never mind perhaps another day. For me, russia and the people were the best ever. I,m over to the german horizons unlimited meeting next weekend. be good to meet up if your around. terry |
