New Tenere owner

[Oldmanonabike]

Hello all.  New to the Tenere but not new to bikes.  Currently have a K1600 and a DR650 in the garage.  Prepping to do the TAT next year and will be figuring out whether I do it with the DR or the T7.  Thanks for sharing your wisdom.

Hi @Oldmanonabike ! As you're on a Ténéré Forum, it's a bit of a no-brainer which bike to take...

Lol.  Thank you.  I should have worded that a bit differently.   I have started my tweaking on the T7.  Engine guard and rear rack installed.   I ordered lowering bars for it.  I hate to do that but I’m 5’5” with a 30” inseam and while I do fine on the road, I know I’ll find spots Offroad where I would really be ticked that I can’t touch more of my foot down.  But I am loving the bike so far.

Oh that's no problem either. The T7 ist a bit like those well trained camels: when she realises you can't reach the ground, she carefully lays to one side so you can get off easily  tried out for you, it works

Take it out and gently lay it down then practice picking it up again.

My worst was a stationary drop down slope. 

Definitely a 2 man lift

I have done a few multi-day rides ( up to 9 ) here in Oz and the T7 is great.
