Soooooooooo... I did it. I rode to the end of Estrella parkway like I've done on several occasions. Today.... I decided go into "uncharted territory" (for me)and take the tenere off-road. I adjusted suspension, set to T mode and traction 1. I stood up, and slowly let the clutch out at the same time.
Even though an elderly person in a wheel chair could have passed me, the adrenaline was pumping! I then loosened up my death grip and my upper body. Everything was going well, and then I was coming up to sand 3-4" deep. ??? I didn't let my first instinct take over (hit the front brake). Instead, as the front tire hit the sand, I shifted my weight a little toward the rear and applied a little more throttle and made it through!!! ::015::
I then made my way back to the road, set the suspension and modes back to my preferred street setup, and started back home.... Grinning ear to ear, at about 45mph.
Here is where the "bitter" part comes into play.....
As I'm riding back, a small fury thing decide to kamikaze it's self into my front tire. :'(
S10.....1, little fury thing.....0.
I can say that the tenere has amazing suspension, abs brakes, and traction control.
