I was going to PM this but thought others may want to know...

Hi JMo,

Welcome back.

I have a quick question re the Tenere front suspension.

You have mentioned a couple of times that the front end of the Ten struggles with the washboard roads. Iv'e been to Africa a few times and know what they are like and how to drive them but I have only done it thus far in a car and landrover.

What exactly is it the the Ten does (or doesn't do) when working hard on the washboard ?
When you are riding it, are you riding it particulary aggressively or just fast enough to ride over the ridges and make it tolerable ?

For those that are wondering what I am on about, on many dirt roads the suspension and tyres on lorries make the surface into a continual series of evenly spaced ridges accross the road, usually a couple of feet apart. If you drive slow in these the vehicle and passengers shake to bits so you have to drive at about 50-60 mph and skim over the tops of the bumps. Scary till you get used to it and concentration levels have to be at max setting.
