Hi met one of your members on the channel tunnel approach, (sorry but forgot the name, old age but was nice chatting and hope your mate got home). Bought my Tenere in 2013, did some mods and headed for Capetown. Best bike in the world for the trip, great choice. 2 punctures and 4 offs were the bad bits. Great experience, great bike.
