:006: Hello and welcome Toenail.

You made a wise choice, both in bike and colour :023:

Don't get too hung up on the farkles. Early doors; ride it, enjoy it and soon enough you'll discover what bling you need and more importantly what you don't!

Hello Toenail

(like the name..)

I know how you feel.. I am 5'6" and I have to swing a leg over (mind not to hit the rear) and then kinda JUMP the bike up using my weight to get it upright.

Once I am on its OK - I can shift my weight and legs either side and get a foot down but getting on is a chore - and as I get older (approaching 50) I can imagine it will get harder..

Enjoy the Tenere - great bike

+1 on a centre stand. You just gotta get that rear wheel up for maintenance and chain adjustments. Then put your credit card through the shredder.
You have been warned! :confused2::confused2::confused2:
