Good photographs too from a small digital camera, might have to visit that one of these days...:) I will add it to the ever growing list of rides to do before I depart to the big traverse in the sky...:)
It makes you wonder though sometimes, when you have the panniers, the top box etc for the longer rides, they have to be filled. I mean, filled because they are there. If they weren't there, you would lighten the load and carry less. Less would also mean things might not go missing and the time taken in the mornings to pack means more time to sleep in or have that leisurely breakfast in the Sahara.
The frames take a beating over that sand and any rough terrain. Things bounce in the front but twist and are less forgiving in the rear....I found that out on the DB2010, the pannier rack needed a nice Tig weld afterwards....AND I was travelling light with my gear too...
Sometimes it would be great to live in Europe, ferries to most countries, Scandanavia, Africa etc...The more I see of the Tenere, the more it looks like a good all purpose bike, good on gas, roads and trails...
Mates are back from down south and Scottie has 10000km on his already and he raves about it! :)

Agree about Europe & the Tenere. The only thing about Europe- esp Scandy is the cost of everything

Agrre also about the Tenere. Roll on Lotto.

What would be your most desirable place to ride? For me it would have to be Morocco... I'm gonna say that again it sounds so nice Morocco...

The exotic location, sand, dust, dark coffees, medinas...
