Organised a Tenere gathering over here in the Netherlands. Here's some impressions:

I'm the one in the ditch but no serious damage was done to either the bike or me. It's really well thought over: plastic bolts that hold the windshield will break before de windshield itself does.

Had to replace the clutch lever cos it snapped off, but the Tenere can be ridden without clutch (though it's not easy to get it in first from neutral).

Some electronic glitches occur: the head beam comes on once in a while and my Zumo cradle seems to be ... a bit shortwired?

All with all a good/fun day. The bike is up for it's 10000 km service and the Tourances are worn and will be replaced by Metzeler Enduro 3. The Tenere performs well as my daily commuter and for these little dirt-road adventures in the near surroundings of my hometown. Great bike all together!
