Hi from a noob!

Hi there,

Just saying hi from South Africa, been riding mostly motocross for the last 8 years, but after some injuries and mates getting injured, I'm thinking of taking on a new adventure and the Tenere seems like the bike I'm looking for. Want to do some off the beaten track touring.

Cheers!

Zaak

Thanks guys! Think I'm used to the crazy people, been on a MX and Enduro forum for a while so I know how crazy things can get! He he!

Now I just need to get my KX250R sold so I can make the move to the Tenere.
