Sharing the road with cars, that's hardcore, you just never know what they're going to do.
Looks great by the way:0)

Hi there,

just got myself the same Tenere you have got (same color) and it was nice to see how you enjoyed it in your trip with her

I have been before in some of the places you have visited, but that was with my previous bike, a CBR600F. Now planning to go for a longer trip down to Australia next year!

Have you done anything on the bike to minimise vibs?

thanks for sharing.

Hello hebbo,

No, I didn't do anything about the vibs. They never annoyed, but this might have to do with the fact that my previous bike was a DR-Z 400...

The only change compared to original was the installation of the Touratech handguards, which replace the original bar weights with some other ones. I doubt this made much difference though.

Sadly, due to job change, I had to sell my Tenere, but I would buy it again any day.

Have fun in Australia!

Great photo's of a nice trip. I'm off down that way in a few weeks time riding first of in the German IBA Road Runner Rally then heading south. Hope we have a interesting trip as yours.
