zOU is on a distinguished road
Picked up my Red on saturday !!!

Picked up my 2009 Yamaha Tenere in London Saturday afternoon.

There was a 2h delay on the schedule as the dealer had not fit any of the accessories !
As the bike and the accessories were on 2 different invoice, the guy who prepared the bike wasn't given the accessory list.

They also said they couldn't fit the alarm as there's no space for it !
I argued saying that it is on the Yamaha accessory list but they said there's no instruction provided as to where to place the box.
So I was refunded.


Anyway, after this slight delay, we hit the road.
A boring stretch of Motorway to Oxford and then N road.

We rode a bit further and stopped for the night as rain and hailstones fell down on us.

Sunday, we crossed Wales.
Fabulous.
The section between Abergavenny and Brecon is fantastic.
No wonder there was about 100 bike parked in the sun and more on the road coming toward us.

And then the magic happened: a GS1200 rider nodded to me first ! I have goosebumps just thinking about this moment

The rest of the trip was very good, except for the fact that we missed our ferry by 15mn..... and had to wait 3h for the next.

The bike behaved beautifully.
it was a bit frustrating to have to be careful since it's still in "break in" period, but otherwise very nice.
It is of course a major change from the VFR.
