Hi all!

Best regards from Finland! We still have half a meter snow on the ground, so that is why I try adopt the Tenere feelings from this web site...

I bought my Tenere a year ago and my personal opinion is: the bike is just great! The only thing I got changed, was the Ackrapovic exhaust, which I like by the way :) We have a lot of gravel roads in central Finland, and the bike is good to ride with the hard surface gravel. Still have to learn to ride better on those roads.

I'm looking forward to hear good Tenere tips from you. I would also like to hear from scandinavian Tenere mates some good route proposals in Sweden and Norway. If somebody wants to get some route tips in Finland, I'm more than happy to give some road suggestions.

Have a nice time with your bikes, I'm still waiting snow to disappear...

Welcome on, P. Sounds like you have good riding opportunity there. As far as the snow goes, I feel your pain. I'm looking at a good metre of snow, but it will be starting to disappear soon. ::004:: R. ::022::

Welcome! We had a member from Finland who hasn't posted for awhile...I believe 'Fintenere' was the name. He was having a problem with the bike's RPM varying by drastic amounts witbout any rider input which is something I've never heard of any S10 doing before ...... I wonder if he ever got it fixed.

Anyhow, welcome and enjoy the new ride.

Welcome from a Nordic neighbour.
Spring has begun in Gothenburg =)
A tip is "magic path" in Norway, have not driven there myself yet but hopefully I get there on vacation in the near future. Have some friends who have driven there and they can strongly recommend it.
Sending some links.

I feel for you! We don't have a metre of snow here in central Alberta but at least 10 cm has fallen in the last week or so. And I thought we were heading for an early spring before that.

It's warming up so spring won't be long.

Here in Norrköping we don't have any snow no more, but it's still some minus degrees every day. But have driven about 500 km for the moment!

I rode to Trollstigen last year on my Honda VFR VTEC, it's a staggering climbing. Beautiful country for motorbiking.
