Re: tenere 660..opinions

Hi, never understood why there are so many negative opinions of the Tenere. I am on my second which has now covered almost 50K with no real problems. Great touring bike, decent off road and very reliable. You can pick one up for under 3K. Andy

van parking Harwich

Hi, I am sailing from Harwich on the 13th July and returning on the 31st July. As I live in Glasgow I am thinking of transporting the bike to Harwich in my van (Vivaro / transit size)but would like somewhere relatively safe to park it within 30-40 miles from Harwich. Can any members help. Cheers Andy

Re: Italy October 2015

Hi, Pisa is worth a night with a decent campsite a short walk from the tower, Rome, Sorrento and Amalfie coast worth a visit. Andy
