Gidday. Picked up a new to me '13 Tenere yesterday and safely made my way home on her today. Very tidy and low kms so a happy lad. only crappy cell phone pics so far.





The first items on the farkle list are: crash protection (that I'm not planning to need), skidplate and GPS mount. Got some other bits and pieces in the shed which will find there way onto her. Will also be keen on some more aggressive rubber at some stage too...

Any road in the North Island. ::001::

Any road in the South Island. ::26::

NZ is a glorious place to ride.

EVLED, Wellington's a handy location to reach both Islands. Lucky you ::008::

Plenty! What sort of riding do you want to do? Tarmac, gravel, sight-seeing....

Thanks for that,

Staying at Auckland in the North with friends, going to be moving about a lot more in the south, the bike thing is a bit of a side-show, but be good to get a few days riding whilst there.

::004:: from Ontario Canada. I just spent 6 weeks in New Zealand 3 weeks on a 660 Ténéré and 3 weeks in a camper van. Have to say I liked the South Island the most, less traffic . And the weather was amazing had about a day and a half of rain.

Nice one! The weather is still good at the mo and plenty of riding to be done. Can't wait to get the Ten down South - probably not until next year though...
