    I went right over my Tenere on Friday to prepare for this ride , I fitted a new front tyre , wired in my new Zumo gps ( Xmas present ;) ), gave it a full service and checked for loose nuts and bolts. I was amazed how many loose ones I found and it was very random which ones were loose !!

    I have managed to stash a heap of spares under the seat including a full set of wheel bearing , seals , brake pads ( front and rear ) , gear lever , clutch lever , brake lever , 5 Pre- oiled filter skins and a pre-oiled uni filter inner.

    TB gave me the heads up on a guy that shorted out his battery by having levers under the seat so I’ve wrapped then up an securely cable tyed them in place. ;)

    I’ve managed to down size my load so much so I can now wear my body armor and a jersey and fit my Klim jacket in one of the side panniers if it’s really hot. The bike feels much lighter now and should be a heap of fun and more manageable in the harder sections :)

    Can we go now !!!!! :woohoo:

    Great read Jeffro , I rode that Yengo track with TB last year and really enjoyed it too ;)

    Hi guys, just wondering what the pick of the 5W UHF’s is at the moment?

    I am looking for a reasonable priced 5w UHF and would appreciate some feedback on equipment that has been tried & tested.

    Currently considering a Uniden UH078SX-NB kit on fleaBay – UH078 Handheld & desktop charger, 2 x Lith batteries, Speaker Mic, 12v Car Charger, 3 yr warrenty all for $309 delivered. Seems a great deal but are the units up to the rough of ADV riding?

    Cheers, Dave

    I dont know very much about UHF Dave but that does sound like a great deal , keep us informed on how it goes if you buy it ;).
