I think my new Tenere has a matte finish on the tank. I'll find out when they deliver it.

Sweet! Can't wait to see it!

That’s a big bike for an old guy. T7 or T1200?

Not that Ric needs any defense, but one of my RTW buddies is the same age as him and has put over 200,000 kms on his S10 across all terrains, countries and continents.

Pfff. You're only as old as the woman you're feeling.

Or as I've come to realize: age is a state of whine.

You're not wrong, but it goes both ways.

Some (purportedly) younger guys on here whine about how life is just so unfair to them, as if they're geriatric ward patients.

Ric, knows that I’m just having some fun with him. He will ride circles around me and the R9T on the T1200

Dunno, Yellow Knight just didn't have the same ring.

Matte Gold knight?

Just to keep things on-topic...

Lots of opinions and products for caring for matte paint as it becomes more popular on bikes and cars.

Most of the chemical companies offer special detailing products and polish for matte finishes.

50/50 mix of rubbing alcohol and water, use it to spot clean the bike

ceramic coat is a good option to keep it protected and easy to get the crap off with little to almost no rubbing

just my opinion..…
