, Friend Jo rocked up on his Ten to help wire in my hi vis lights

Jo arrived fresh from hitting the trails....

Joe's got the lights sorted....

By way of thanks I sparkled up Jo's Ten

And he's off....cheers Jo!

... and no money we're exchanged during the process.

good for you, lads !

A worthy addition to the Ten Greatescape.
Have you taken the XR for a spin while the Ten's putting its feet up for a bit?

Wired Steves lights in,got my bike cleaned and a free lunch!.. And a good old session of bike talk!...brilliant time!..

Just some proof that yes Steve did actually give my lovely bike a wash!..

Yes, the barter system works well...!, and Pepsi, I know I'm very lucky to have use of a garage. And Desert Racer....the XR650R just gets an occasional blast down the lane....I'm going to Mot it next week . I absolutely should sell it....I could really do with the dosh, but using man-maths I somehow justify keeping it!. I paid a very fair price for it and had 5yrs brilliant riding from it, and even at the cheapest price going she's worth more than I paid for her!. Trouble is when a bike means that much to you it's not just about monetary value ....there's a wealth of memories , of great trips and rides attached to that bike. However, as the Tenere becomes more and more 'my' bike, through riding it and modding it she is proving a worthy successor to the XR and I'm loving the Ten . Plus all the advice friendship and general good vibes to be found on this great forum!! Steve
