Thanks for the great pictures and great storries jmo, am looking forward to hearing more when we all meet in the lakes. glad to hear the ten coped so well , inspires confidence in mine. :eusa_clap:

Not sure about when the Tenere series will start - sometime this summer I imagine...

For back issues of my previous jaunts - issues 152 - 153 - 154 featured my initial US trip when I bought the XR650R (issue 153 also has the launch test of the Tenere in - perhaps a subliminal message eh?)

Issues 159 - 160 - 161 featured my trip to Europe and Morocco last summer...

And don't worry, I've got plenty more plans in the pipeline - they won't involve going away for quite so long each time (for the moment at least), but they will certainly be exciting!

hi Jmo, glad to see you back safe and sound, can I ask what the holes(?) are in the end caps of the exhaust, are they drilled to stop heat build up or what?

Them would be her Bidirectional Trafficators, there's a whole blog, er, sorry , thread about them ,,,,, somewhere!

As GLUGo says, they are a rather neat mod (even if I say so myself x):

There is a thread on here somewhere (maybe 'making it mine'? I forget... still a bit jet-lagged x) with more info - basically they are a strip of LEDs made by the company who make electropods, and fit perfectly in the exhaust shrouds, neatening up the rear end, no end...

its under 'making it mine pt 2'


mmm, yes they are just the donki's knob arent they (any other ex-mtb'ers remember that bike?), if they are easy enough to get hold of i might just have to have a set of them :headbang:

What a trip that must have been :wow:, and looking forward to reading more. Very glad you are pleased with the bike, it makes waiting for mine that much harder, three weeks to go. :HappyRoll_ANPIUI:

certainly do I was an early subscriber to MBUK and such like, ahhhh happy memories. . . .wen I could see my Kn. . . .ees over my six pack now a family value pack..:HappyRoll_ANPIUI:

I had a small idea that they may have been indi's but just thought it was my fretile imagination again. They are cool as f@*k !
