Nickj why don’t you silence the critics and make your first ascent on the tenere’ the engine will be fine with all that plastic around it, if it cartwheels down the hill. C’mon beat TB to the chase. Just give it a quick try on that hill behind your house you were telling me about first. That way you can rid the bike of any excess weight first (like mirrors etc) so it will fly up Widow maker!! You will also stop all jokes re ADV bikes to boot. Take one for the team mate!!! Just make sure you get plenty of Adventure Moto stickers on it so they might be sympathetic when you front up to get replacement parts. :laugh:
