Thanks for the positive comments guys.
I love the Tenere... coming from BMW 1200's on which I have done a collective 200,000+ km's I really enjoy the bike, will comment on my experience with the bike and my thoughts somewhere else.
We are spoilt in South Africa with DS riding places, and especially so in the Cape Provinces, Western, Northern and Eastern.
I often do shorter trips and will be sure to post these as well - most previous trips were with BMW but that will change during 2015.
