Great RR mate well done and go the 690 and the vince :woohoo:
Got to say fark that, looks like he has been out riding with Capt Furious
Imagine that an inch or two forward or back :ohmy:TB
Happy Birthday you Yammie rider you :laugh:
Hey if you want to take this Tenere for a spin and try it out before I wear it out hurry up and let me know when
TB
Here is the Tenere at the Novatel in Coffs (thanks to my travel agent for getting us a room in Coffs in holiday season with 1 days notice)
After there we followed STM’s route through Wedding Bells state forest, this was great as we saw some of the places we rode on the Coffs weekend. All was going well with Scott’s route until I missed a turn and my GPS which was set for Nana Glen took over, all of a sudden we came across this mother of a two uphill. It was rutted and washed out but what the hell we tackled it and stayed wheels down :laugh: Scott was surprised we did it
From there we rode in Nana Glen and checked out Rusty’s place :laugh: (Russell Crow) that is, well we rode past his place and then found out later he has sold up and moved STM, gone he no longer lives there :ohmy: :laugh: :laugh:
We rode into Glenreagh, had a drink Sal shopped and cost me money :laugh: Told her all weekend cant shop can’t fit anything onboard
So she bought a ring at a hippie shop because she said she could wear it 
:laugh:
Old ute spotted in town at Glenreagh, nice huh
From there we travelled some back roads, a couple of dirt roads and of course the normal great tracks that turn into dead ends 😆
We did a little shopping in Grafton and I spoke with the Mayor as we rode across the bent bridge which was funny. We rode out a little back road to Lawrence to meet Nick at the pub there
After cooling ale we motored onto Nicks thru a series of dirt roads and back roads.
At Nicks we enjoyed a swim, beers, rums the girls chatted, we had a great dinner in town and some laughs.
Next day was a big day we had some boring miles to cover as we promised Mal we would be back on the 1st so we had to motor down the freeway, here we are stopped at Nambucca Heads on the river
Loaded up eh
Left bag weighed 22k, right bag 23k and I didn’t weigh the top roll I forgot :blink:
Me waiting to get going as usual :laugh:
We got back to Mals and then rode into town to meet them all for dinner at a restaurant fully kitted :laugh:
After dinner Salina was left to get a ride in a car back while I did the beach track from Foster to Red head in the dark on my own (got lost twice :laugh: ) it was a great run through the sand in the deep ruts. The bike was awesome in the sand fully loaded which was a good test as I had run the forks through the triple clamps to help it turn in.
After a night at Mals with some massive wicked fireworks which someone let off 😆
Next morning it was up early and down via some back roads and routes to Gosford where we went out on the old mans boat. They have done it up and it’s a cracker, it was great seeing the boat finished and catching up with Dad. From there we snuck down the old Pacific Hwy, it was threatening to rain but it looked like we would get home dry until we head the M7. There the heavens opened, lighting, small hail and sheets of rain. We ploughed on and got home looking like two drowned rats :laugh:
We covered 1981kms during our week away. Salina was a trooper the whole time and it was awesome to spend the week together on the bike, left me feeling lucky to be able to do it with her. Thanks to all the bulls that we caught up with, cheers guys

Nice mods Krusty, I can see one problem but. Your new vented front guard will allow mud thru the vents and fill your radiators with mud
I know this because I tried one like it myself, remember I taped it up when I fitted the guard on the Cameron trip :blink:
(and before you say we fitted one to the project DR650, its air cooled no radiators to clog with mud
)TB
