Hi guys,

My name is David and I live in Burton on Trent.

I've been lurking for a month or so and have been reading through endless threads so I knew exactly what to look for when I was searching for a Tenere.
I've been looking for a bike for a while, I eventually want to hang it on the rear of an adventure truck (Unimog) as my long term plan is to retire at 55(only a few more years, not that I'm counting ), sell up everything and just go travelling/living in my truck, hence the tenere is the ideal size.

Well, all the reading has paid off and I picked up a real cracker today!!!

A mint 2011 Blue model, with 4000 mls on the clock and a previous owner who must have been a member of the forum because its loaded with goodies.

Single MTC exhaust and PCM V - DNA filter, Scottoiler, Pivotpeg footrests, Bar risers, ASV stubby levers, 12v Sockets, Heated grips, Barkbusters.

However, there is a fly in the ointment - there are no rear footrests.

I've bought a new set of SW Motech Trax Adventure Panniers and have fitted the frames this afternoon, but I can't complete without the footrests, so if anyone know where there are some for sale or a XTZ being broken for parts , please let me know.

I'll post some photos when the weather clears up - its been miserable all day today.

Looking forward to participating more in this fantastic forum now I've got my bike.

Let the adventures begin..........

Best regards,

David
