Out and about on my new Ten yesterday on what was a glorious day in the Borders. Only done 350miles so far but really beginning to like the bike. This is a rubbish phone pic taken on the road between Talla and Megget reservoirs (looking back to Talla).

Joined in the local Easter Run taking easter egs to a local 'special' school. After that went for a ride with the Mrs and stopped to take a pic with the backdrop from the Wye down in Kent. Looking forward to taking the kids here to burn off some energy :)

Was a nice little run on some loverly roads in the area .The Tenere handles much better with the new chain after all the surging before...just a shame my Sirac tyres are getting so squared off now :)

Nice picture Nickw909. What,s that tank bag you are using.:dontknow:

Gary,

Its a Kriega Tank Harness and a Kriega US-10 bag. Nice and low profile, bit fiddley to use but ok.

See here for for details (Thanks to Tripletom):

Nick.


PS. The map holder is a cheap Hein Gericke jobbie.

Thanks Nick.

Still haven't made my mind up which tank bag to buy.:dontknow:

Another suggestion is the SW Motech's Quicklock system if you don't know it already. It's a ring mounted on the gas cap, and the tankbag just clips on and off very easy. http://www.moto.gr/forums/showthread...&pagenumber=17

I had it before and they are convenient, quality products, and never scratch your tank. I tried out the "City" version on my Tenere and I can confirm that it doesn't block the steering angle anyway. IMHO, it's the optimal size bag for that small amount of space on the tank in front of the rider, and it just missed the keyhole area. I had a Held bag that has straps and buckles and travelled with it for 7000km. I don't like it, it's still a pain to fill the tank, and the straps keep getting loose or leaning one way or another. I have not bought the SW bag yet because I actually haven't decided if I even want a tankbag. If you haven't done so, go to the "Tank Bag" thread under Panniers and Bags section.
