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.
Jon

Great post, I had almost made my mind up to sell mine, I had been using the xtx and hadn't ridden the Ten for a few months, but the past few weeks I have been back out on it and can't let it go, there are lots of people that dismiss them as on paper, they don't look that great, but as you know they are so versatile

Lovely endorsement. I for one think they look great too

Amazing tribute to a great bike! , and despite all you ask of it your bike still scrubs up well and looks good. Here's to your next 50.....! Steve

A prime example of of slightly exceeding the original design specifications, luv it jon660z, keep it up, but I think you may have voided your warranty!!!!

Good to hear you still enjoy it after all those miles. You'll be pleased to know your front wheel lives on. Cheers.
