Ive toured on it. Ok not round the world but most of the uk. Its been north and south east and west. I tow with it, a trailer, a big trailer at that.
I ride it through rivers, over rocks. Through swamps and ruts and all kinds of terrain.
I abuse it. I drop it. I ride it in the snow and rain. I dont wash it. I do the weekly shop on it. (trolley full easily)
Ive ridden through flooded towns on it.
Ive even moved house with it.
Its dragged a dead 990 ADV up a lane people said i wouldnt get up alone let alone towing another bike. (toasted a clutch in the process, but still rode home)
Its been places it shouldnt have been able too get too.
And u know what every day i shove the key in it and it takes me too work. No fuss.
Most incredible of all is that after 3 years of owning it, everytime i look at it makes me grin. A big fat stupid ear too ear grin.
To my Tenere happy 50th birthday, thanks for be incredible.
Too the next 50,000
.
Heres too incredible machines. Thanks for looking.
