So did you go straight up the F3 or out through Penrith, Lithgo, Bells liner way, Old Putty road etc... Gee you could of just about had it ready for its first service.
Hi mate.

Unfortunately, it was getting a bit late by the time I got away (nearly 4PM), but I did jump onto the old Pacific Highway from Berowra for a bit of a play & to try to scrub in the new tyres a bit. Only thing was that I forgot that they'd changed the speed limit north of the Hawkesbury River down to 60Kph (& love to stake it out for all of us godless biker scum too). It was so depressing and boring that I just got back onto the F3 at Mt White. That said, it was still a top ride & I'm well pleased. The Putty, BLoR, etc will definitely get a visit in time (along with the Watagan Mountains, Barrington Tops, Blue Mountains, etc).

I'm surprised just how comfortable the Tenere is. My last bike was a cruiser with a gel seat, & this thing ****s all over it. The handling is superb too. I only have to think what I want to do, & the bike seems to just do it without any fuss. I also love the slightly antisocial bark of the exhaust and sputter/popping when trailing throttle (can't work out if the looks I'm getting are admiration/envy, or else contempt/ suspicion ).

Now, for a dumb question. How do I insert photos? When I click the 'Insert Image' button, it just comes up with a pop up requesting a URL. What am I missing? (probably something bloody obvious )
