Been busy doing a few admin jobs these past few days ready for the off next week, but got the chance to ride some desert trails this morning, and boy does that bike rock! The suspension is plush, stability great (I guess all that weight helps x) and even on the standard Tourance tyres grip was good on the dry desert dirt/sand/rocks... going to get a set of MT21's fitted next week though, just for added confidence in the dirt.

So just to p!ss you all off in rainy old England, a few pictures:

Built back up in about 20 minutes - started first time!


Heading for the Strip in downtown Las Vegas, baby!


The only Tenere in the USA (probably...)
