Currently ride a Crosstourer but have an itch to try something T700 ish.

Welcome from Holmfirth Tony,

I spent most of 2019 commuting up and down the A61 to Harlow Hill on my old Africa Twin.
Thanks for the welcome, heck of a commute from Holmfirth!
The morning commute was just over an hour in the van and sometimes twice that coming home in the evening traffic.
I could do it in around 45mins on the bike once I‘d learnt every overtaking point, speed camera location, traffic light sequence, pot hole etc.
I sometimes used the stop watch feature on my dash but stopped doing it after I was taking too many risks just to shave off another 30 seconds.

I had to remind myself how old I was after a hot chick in an Audi S4 egged me on for a race whilst waiting at traffic lights in Leeds.

We made a sweet sound when I took her from behind in the underpass.....
😚

Try a T7. You will love it.

I am weighing the piggy bank, T7 soon I reckon
Keep the updates coming in the Tenere section, although I think I may have to ring Geneva and move some funds around for the farkles!
