Lurker from Oz(tralia)
Hi there all,
Long time lurker from down in the deep south of Australia. I finally decided it was time to make it all official though!
I have owned my 660 Tenere from new. Its a 2011 model that's been used to the fullest extent of its capabilities whilst in my possession.
Needless to say, it is a little rough around the edges. I do pride myself on tending to its mechanical needs religiously, but a well oiled filter does little to protect in a slide down the road or a wayward tree(or bike!)
She is essentially stock as a rock mechanically. I've only upgraded to make it more reliable when traveling so its heated grips, fat bars and bark busters. Deleted ais, cush bearing modded and and extended dog-bone kit in the rear to sharpen the steering and set the seat at a height more suited to my own.
To finish I have OTR pannier racks with hepco boxes on them and a crappy Yamaha top box to boot. Plenty of room for travelling(and enough for a slab per pannier too haha)
All in all, I love the bike. It was a dream come true to ride it off the showroom flow and I still love it to this day. I've found this forum to be a great resource and look forward to learning much more as time rolls on.
I'll attempt to upload some terrible photos later (I'm a terrible camera operator)
Cheers all
Dale
