time for a bit of culture around here

[dcstrom]

The question came up a while ago "what's the plural of Tenere?" - Well turns out it's not "Teneres" - it's more like "Tinariwen" - "people of the Tenere (desert)". Also happens to be the name of a group that make amazing music. AND they are coming to the US very soon.

Oh good. The way folk have of finding things to worry about around here I was afraid that this was going to be about that little bit of green mold you found growing on your bike.

A pertinent question. The other night my wife sat on the S10 for the first time. She declared it was lighter than her old Wee and if I could lower the bike it would be a real contender to replace the Spyder. Which means I would need to know what to call two Tenere. She's not ready to replace the Spyder just yet, but if it keeps ending up in the shop I could end up with a couple of Teneri.

WEll, when it's family, it's easier. You could just call them the Black Beauties ..... or the Ravens .... or the Duo of Darkness. R

 

[Dirt_Dad]

But they're blue...

Actually the reason mine is blue was because my wife forecast this very scenario. Before I ordered I was talking up the benefits of the S10 so much that my wife told me to order a blue one just in case I decide to pass it along to her. Who knows? Spyder is on probation, I give it a 40/60 chance of happening.

that eventuality never occurred to me .... Oh my gosh.




Gotcha !!!!! R
