my original plan was to 'tenerize' the TDM. I got a set of 660 Ten forks at home. Same diameter as the originals. Local bike shop thought it no problem to fit the (amazing!) TDM brakes to them and also fix the ABS sensor to them. Only issue was the spindle, very different. A longer shock with shorter dog bones would get the rear up. Now there is talk of a new Ten. So I am holding fire for now.
Did you do the Lake Garda to Lake Idro road? 26 miles with no straights on it! Awesome.
In the 3 weeks on the road I never came across a british biker. It is a long way to get there from here I can assure you but it is worth it.
And a good 75% of the bikes on the passes are BMW G/Ss. Epidemic almost. Only sports bikes were some Italian ladies in white leathers on Monsters on the Stelvio. And they stopped right in front of us in the middle of road for everybody to look at them, almost causing a pile up.
At Lake Garda it was the opposite. No G/S at all. All sporty numbers. All showing off.
I will upload a few film clips soon. Just need the time to cut them to size.
Also trying to to get the route onto Tyre for anybody to download onto their Sat Nav.

Going back to Norway next year. Anybody coming?
