Hello from Ireland

Hi from SW Ireland - looking to replace my retired 600 Transalp with something bit newer and 660 Tenere is looking a likely candidate at the moment! Hopefully will find something soon ;-)

Welcome aboard, Chris! I visited SW Ireland in May and loved every minute of it. The scenery, the friendliness of people and the live music in the pubs all made it a memorable trip that I fully intend to repeat. Due to the distance from home and the fact that my mate rides a Blackbird, I rode my BMW but if I lived there, the Tenere would definitely be on my list of best bikes for exploring the back roads which I love to do. At times, I was wishing I was on my XTR! Good luck with your bike hunt.

Thanks for the welcome - been distracted trawling interweb for bike! Might have found something suitable, unfortunately just stumbled across the 'gearbox' post :-(
Well I had to rebuild the Transalp engine just after buying it and it went on for another 50K miles - can do without that again...
The Transalp was perfect for round here Papa, until it was attacked from the side by a moron in a car and is written off - just got acceptance from third party insurance they'll pay so hunt is on for the replacement. Really gutting as I'd completely rebuilt it last winter, powder coated frame and engine(!) - looked great!
Did think about 700 Transalp til I saw the collector box - don't think that would work here! So looks like Tenere is still favourite ;-)

ps having trouble signing in with Tapatalk - gives me 'The usergroup you belong to does not have permission to login.' ??
