And there is another Eags. Clubby’s like mine is factory white old mates in the pic you posted was blue and is a few years old. He is from Mudgee ( name slips me Chris I think) did the replica difference is the frame etc is red where the factory ones are black and he has in upside front end.

Now if you want Tenere news Eags not old stuff check out “King Kenny Jnr” Steve “Wolfman” Smith from Adventure Motos latest idea. Painted by shed X at Steve’s and worked on by me at stages. It is actually the black one I had for a while early in the year and Steve rode in Feb’s Nav ride

Now that’s phat!!

TB

Yep,, Saw that and have to agree,,, It is awsomely Typical of Wolfman :laugh:
Actually was talking to the Newy Wolf (PTW) fri night and he told me about “KKJr”

I reckon old mates `83 colour scheme Ten looks great just quietly, dig the red frame

I recon if you move the bike closer you run the risk of the handle bar smashing the back window :ohmy:
but i recon it depends on how much movement there is.

PTW

Yeah,,, good point there Mr Wooduck :laugh:
Why is the White Knight so unkind to you ????? :silly:

[Dwayne OMember]

Umm will watch with interest Eags as I like the concept. If that 690 is 138kgs I am super light weight
Nice work Jeffro

TB

:laugh: Well it is nowhere near 180 I can assure you of that
Just the Barrett Pipe saved near 4kg off the standard Thermonuclear decice that was fitted :whistle:

I plan to travel with little fuel in it too there`s another saving of around 12kg

Specs for my bike say 138kg (dry weight) so only a trip or two and some time will tell hey ??

It would be easier if the car was 50mm lower (that`s the lift kit installed) :S Just don`t tell the missus that :laugh:

I have air bags in the rear coils too to compensate for rear loads (trailers, caravans etc) so that is no prolem..
I did have to get the young bloke off his I Pod to help me get the 690 back onto the ramp so I could get it off :whistle: Height is a tad much for a single person without having a bike on top of you after you loose footing pulling back to get onto the ramp !!!

Road Testing coming up anyway ,,,

Cheers

[Dwayne OMember]

As LC mentioned elsewhere,,,
It looks to hang out a long way from the hitch :S
There is a bracket to reinforce it against the hitch with screws that lock up and take out movement.

But that is where the supplied hole is for the hitchpin, Jeffro had no drams with his bikes on it, even took it up to the Coffs weekend.
Rated to 400lbs (181kg) by the manufacturer

Sure, I am nervous, but it is tested and I trust Jeffro`s opinion as he knows his stuff when it comes to steel and welding etc (that`s what he does for a crust)

Driving like a hoon would obviously not be recommended, noe jumping off gutters or speed humps :laugh:
I will be taking it for a run soon to see how it goes.

Maybe others on OBT have a MoTow at home,,, any other reviews/ experiences are sure welcomed

Cheers
