Another Tenere

I have now purchased another Tenere form one of the forum members, Spottyplayer. Went down 'Sarf' yesterday and believe it or not, without the screen and wingmirrors it fitted into the back of my Transit!
Anyhow the bike is another Khaki and is in excellent condition having only covered some 2500 odd miles. I need to get a lowering link and some rails for my MM panniers. In the meantime it does have Genuine Yamaha panniers which will soon be for sale (in excellent condition) which I will be able to use.
I have ordered TKC's for it and I have purchased another GPS mount.
So there we have it back to square one. The only difference is that my first Ten had been through two winters and I now know of some of the niggles that I have to sort out.
PS this bike has already had a new rectifier and loom!
Next meet at Kettlewell as Dazzer has posted.

Great news mate, good to have you back on the road!
If you ever catch anyone else trying to steal your bike, I would suggest sending them for counselling and a chat with a social worker. After all, they're probably nice people really...
