Arranged to meet my mate Cabbage at Hirwaun to have a run out, with no real plan in mind. The Tenere was/is up for sale, but truth be known, I would rather keep it, its purely for financial reasons I was going to sell. Reality is its "robbing Peter to pay Paul". So as Ive always said, "A bike has to stir the soul "......... This Tenere definately does that
Anyway , set off towards sarn Helen. Its got a bit of a legality grey area going on, so exercised my view that it was going to be ridden. To be honest, its not so much fun on a large traillie... lumping over large rocks without seeing your front wheel doesnt set the juices flowing, but its really only the one downhill section. The rest is OK, and scenic as ever.




The Ten decided to have its first lie down, pleased me to be honest, as its over and done with !!

We then did a couple of smaller farm lanes to make our way towards Myddfai
Cabbage had a superb off, complete with wash



After a breif cuppa at Llandovery, we set off to Strata Florida, not been on it for over a year now, and I had forgotten how fabulous this lane is, the Teneres lapped it up and it was a pleasure, just fabulous






There are some more pics which I will continue with when photobucket decides its going to allow me to continue

Anyhow.A few more

Cabbage then decided to hit some sunken treasure... again !!!

The end result!!! Off to German E bay

My Missus thinks we swam with crocodiles !!!!

We then made our way, via a stunning bit of tarmac to claerwen. Fast and scenic, and a great work out for the Teneres suspension, overal I thought it coped very well... bar for the fact at the end I'd lost another number plate. Time to trim the rear end


Great day out, in fabulous weather, but by the time I arrived home in Cardiff my feet were feeling like frostbite was not far away, and seal skinz didnt keep my feet dry !!!!

Nice pics - thanks for sharing.

Looks like you made the most of the sunshine!

Hey Wide, does this mean that it's a keeper?

Secret to keeping number plate is to put an extra plastic number plate screw through the small pip that is behind the lower part of the plate.
Mine vibrated on tickover and annoyed me so I put one there and have not lost or damaged a plate yet despite a few exiting moments.!
