Hi Tom - thanks for your kind words of support and encouragement - yes, it was a lot of fun building and racing the Tenere - never mind all the time in the US I enjoyed on it beforehand...

A number of people have said I'd be crazy to sell it/that I'd regret it etc. and to be fair, there is nothing I'd want to replace it with out there at the moment, so I'd probably end up buying another for more money that I got for mine - duh!

I also have a couple of plans for next year, that the Tenere would be ideal for, so for the moment I'm going to hang onto the old girl, and perhaps do a couple of rounds of the Big Bike Rally Challenge in the UK next season, and I have half an eye on a desert rally too...

In the meantime, anyone who's interested in following my progress on the Dakar this year, please check out my dedicated website:

And there is also a Facebook page which I'll be sending updates back to while I'm in South America:

Dakar 2011 - follow me on Facebook!

Toot toot!

Good idea - hang onto it Jen, as you will only regret selling it later. It is an original one of a kind at the moment as well!
Best of luck with the plans for the 2011 season. It really seems like you are going to be busy, and I am looking forward to following your progress on your website. It might even motivate me a bit more to get my arse out of Norway this year and head south. I missed out on a trip this year due to circumstance, but I feel the excuses are short for next year, so fingers crossed, and time to start convincing the wife!
