Did have a run out on the bike yesterday to scrub of the newness of my Mitas, so did a few back roads and some of our local BOATs. Wasnt going to do this as Id gone out totally unprepared with nil tools/spare tubes. I also did go off the beaten track also and nearly got 200kg of scooter stuck in a remote bog.... B leedin silly I thought to myself !!!
I found the Ten to feel somewhat unwhieldy off road and was slightly dissapointed with it. I have part put it down to not being out for a while, so will see what its like next time on it.
The tyres I have bought are Mitas E09 rear (same as a T63 and felt good enough on rocky stuff but did spin a lot on bog... but then with our weather of late what wouldnt) and a E10 (bit like a TKC) on front and was much the same as the rear.
One point to note for off roading on a Tenere is remove stupid number plate holder off bike and either do a home made tail tidy or get a purpose built one as the number plate lasted all of 5 mins on a stoney lane at 30 ish mph !!!
Did stop for a couple of pics mind
