Tenere piccies

Finally got home onto the internet and up loaded some photos. Ive still loads on my work laptop which gave in the other day so hopefully i can get the piccies from it. Anywho as most will know ive bought Fiddichs 2010 Yamaha Tenere and here is my saturday photos from the 400miles i did in one day!!!

At the train station on friday waiting for a connecting train.


At fiddichs in the front room planning my ride for sat with a fire going and a bottle of whiskey i won in a raffle at work that day!!!! Yes it was sampled several times with no ice or water.....nice


Dropped into Aberlour for brekkie of a Northern Ireland mans favourite of a fry


At the cross roads going towards Tomintool i think!! They all look the same


Explains itself i think!!!


AKA Tenere country


My single track road at the sumit where it was very windy



Found a wee off road track near Bramear around a mile long. Got wet though after splashing into a deep puddle which covered the front wheel completely and pushed a tusmia sized wave over my helmet and what felt like all down my back!!!!


Arty one


Quiet a small castle when you get near it...more like a big house


Back again via the off road section....this time a little faster!!!!


Thought i found two off road trails but turns out there were around 150m of off road track then a gate to a field.....still fun on Tenere


LOST


Asda shop in a town here Dufftown with a few crotch rocketers


My horse and kart fully loaded


and as Fiddich called it a childs head slicer out the side (aka the standard exhausts link pipe)


A big hill before you get to the top of a ski sloping area place thing.....blooming cold by this stage as it was near 6.30pm and i still had around 150miles to go!!!!


1 i couldnt resist doing some more off roading and 2 it was a short cut really!!!!

Starting to get dark now and the point that i found i forgot my clear visor!!!! not too bad as i wear milk jars for glasses but quiet cold on the face with a visor open at 60mph!!!


Service station at Perth for a burger king.


Ended up getting home at 11pm, and i had been up and about on the tenere from 9am, and some 400 miles. Worked out that i was averaging 60mpg and i wasnt holding it back in most places.

Finally my two babies at work parked for up for a few weeks until my next trip!!!


Verdict of the tenere

Just what i want from a bike, loads of torque down low, enough poke up top to over take and get a shimmy on. Good wind protection, sounds crack with that 2 into 1 can (cant wait to remove the baffle ), handles well, easy to look after/service my self mostly etc

XT meet next 2013......i cant wait

Unfortunately I forgot to mention this when I told Max about the track...Sorry pal Yup when you told me about your experience in the puddle I must admit to a bit of a giggle.
Sounds like you had a long day mate - glad you are a happy chappy.
