Still hope to see you sometime soon. Might be on a big touring bike sooner than later.

The amount of time it took from when you first started talking about selling the bike says something about how you felt about it. And obviously you'll always be part of the brotherhood here.

[Actually I'm just sucking up for future pancakes. :p ]

I knew I would find this photo at some point. It's Bob when he took the then new Tenere off pavement for the very first time. He was totally apprehensive when we left Romney for some gravel roads, he never dropped the bike, and came back with a smile that couldn't be wiped off.

Good memories!

Bob and Jon among others for the gravel last year in Custer.

I will miss that type of riding.
That was a great time. Actually we've done a number of great rides over the years. The Tennessee ride is a fun memory...and, of course, the pancakes.

Sorry, just saw this thread. Congrats on the sale.

I do hope you will follow my lead here and stick around. This is such a great group of guys that there's no reason to leave just because your Tenere days are behind you. Don't leave the fold.

As an incentive, keep watching here for a possible opportunity to return to a familiar place to wip up a batch of pancakes. :cool:

Was just talking to Katie about Steve’s Missouri meetup in September hoping we could make it. Don’t have a Tenere but can still carve blacktop on the Venture.

But we leave September 1st to NY, Maine, and North Carolina. Have appointments we need to be back for while the Missouri thing is going on.

Hope you can stop for a visit when on 95 between DC & Balmo.

We will see. The problem is Maine to NC was a two night stop and you are half way so too long. But I may call you Tuesday September 13 when we head south and see if we do a long day where we could get together.

Think about routes from Litchfield ME to Henderson NC that takes us near you.

However we are now going to the Missouri Tenere Meetup. We will be there September 20-25th. So head on over for pancakes!
