When you first throw a leg over the Tenere, it looks really big. But once underway the bike feels very nimble. The dry sump motor and trans design keeps the weight low.

If I go that route, I'd buy one designed for heating framed houses during construction. Had one we called "the afterburner". Had a blower fan and threw out lots of heat. It'd be a legit business expense.The current Princess Auto flyer has this BBQ tank-mounted propane heater on sale for $32 with free shipping, and they're throwing in a can of WD-40 Specialist Rust Release Penetrant Spray on all online orders.

It shows charges for each shipping method, but after you select an option and press continue, it adds a credit.

QT50 update. Pulled the shaftdrive apart, noticed a bit of play in the pinion bearings, decided to replace them. 2 X 6205s added an unexpected $2.50 to the overhaul budget.
Sprayed the frame, forks, headlight, and tank in putty grey and driveline parts and covers in standard factory silver.
Cut some new vinyl logos in the wife's craft shop. They are made with fast vinyl, 50% lighter and less drag than OE decals. Expecting +5kmh in top speed.

I have a soft spot for laced wheels, haven't built one for a while but will be rehooping a pair for a 920R I decided to butcher.
Damn. Such a nice looking bike. The new owner will be lucky to get it. I guess it did what it needed to and now you are looking for something more suitable for two-up?
The Tenere played a big part in me dealing with grief, which will never go away. I don't need a reminder every time i open the garage door. Same goes for redecorating the house.
I put in my order for my new wheels today.

When do you get to pick it up?
The order just went into the Kazakhstan factory. I placed the order with all the options i want. They are able to build them to very specific details. I want undercoated/colour matched fenders and sidecar and colour matched rider windshield trim. Blacked out (powdercoat) engine,drivetrain. Etc etc etc etc.
There are about 50 different colour options. 20 different camouflage ones.
Can you do factory pickup and then give it back to them for shipping? Booting around Kazakhstan with the squeeze sounds like a fun summer.
With all that customization I tend to think he/she will be a keeper for long term?
Was it ordered from the place in Acton?
That would be really cool! I have a lot of trials riding and jumping planned. In between travel down south, out west and then east for fall colors later. The Ural won't see big kms. Sunday morning rides with Bernadette wrapped in a big furry blanket.
I always say I'm going to keep a bike for a long time. The wing was the longest. 16 years. Who knows? One day at a time!
Yes, Acton at Old Vintage Cranks.
