Good morning,

Just joined the forum although I have been lurking for a while. The forum has been a great resource. After a lot of research and test riding (someone has to do it ... lol) I purchased a raven Tenere on Friday. I had an Aprilia Caponord since '03 and wasn't sure whether I would go the adventure or sport touring route for a new bike. I considered a R1200GS, KTM Adventure, ST1300, R1200RT and a couple others but in the end pulled the trigger on the Terene. I will have the bike on Tuesday. Hopefully the weather holds up so can get a few rides in. Looking forward to being a part of the forum.

Welcome on, rr. I'm an rr myself, in more ways than one. My initials and my status as a fellow "raven rider". Glad you made the plunge to TenereLand. Please join in with vigor and post some pics when you take delivery. New, clean bikes are in short supply anymore. Again, ::004:: . R ::022::

Hey Raven Rider, welcome and congrats on the new purchase. I'm glad to hear you found this place helpful in your new bike search.

Wave when you roll into PA.

Thanks for making me feel at home!

The farkling is about to commence ... I am going to start with protective film paint guards, crash bars, bash plate, panniers/top case and an after market exhaust spread out over the winter. That should sufficiently drain the bank.
