Hi and welcome to the site
your in a good place to enjoy some great old bull rides , theirs some fun ride gatherings through the year and some characters to meet on the trails !!!Enjoy
Nick
Have a look at the SW motech bars Jim, they protect the bike very well and only weigh a couple of kilos
I can’t say the weight of any of my bikes protection has been a concern , especially after ditching the 6 kg standard pipe for the light weight leos Nick
Great looking bike their and sounds like a lot of fun , any big trips planned for it ?
Happy birthday T driver , hope you had a top day mate
Looking forward to a ride soon !! :woohoo:

Enjoy the trip fellas, will be watching with great interest as a group of my mates are planning the same August 2013!!!
Well spotted XT but I keep them in my bumbag as standard trail tools so I didn’t list them individually , as I didn’t list spanners, t bar , sockets etc
And as an electrician I use them for everything 
Are you joining your mates on their cape ride next year ?
If not I think you should consider it , I can’t wait now !!! :woohoo:

SnakesI haven’t had much of a chance to ride the Tenere lately as I’ve been enjoying my trail riding on the new Crf so I thought I should get in a few kms to get back in the big bike zone.
I put my eldest daughter on the back and we did a 100 km loop of some good dirt roads and I have to say it didn’t take long at all to get back into it and start enjoying the big girl againThe bike handled well and both my daughter and I had a ball !!
Now bring on the Cape ! :woohoo:
Nick
Hi Kipo and welcome to the site , we rode the the Flindes ranges last year on the way to Birdsville and it is stunning country !
Be great to see a write up on your preparation and riding of the 24 hour
Good luck

I do the same Jeffro then give them a generous spray with tyre shine so they’re easy to clean next time
