Hi all
Thought I would sign up and gather some useful info from people who know

Not bought the bike yet but I'm looking around for a tenere to to use on my planned RTW trip starting in April 2014

Lot's to do before the trip happens, but everything is coming together money wise, I've arranged a 12 month absence from work so all systems go!


A bit of background I suppose might be good
Been a biker all my life I guess, my dad had Triumph and BSA's when I was a kid .. got my fs1e at 16..(there's an age clue) lol

Always had a bike since.. fireblade, r1 gsxr,
Did 3 seasons of club racing in the early '00s.. hundreds of trackdays since.
But about 4 years ago I sold my 2 gsxr's .. 1 a tuned 1000k4 that I took to the nurburgring a few times and bought a crash damaged 955 Triumph Daytona that I customised and now looks more like a 1050 speed triple.

I've had similar bikes to the xt before and rode a klr650 over the pyrenese in 2002

Anyway, enough for now I guess, <yawn> stay with me at the back there!

Cheers
Mark
