as some of you may know i was the proud owner of a couple of sweet tenere's in the past..
a 1999 660 and a 1990 750
a fair bit has changed for me in the last 2 years
I went through a separation from my long time partner and have made a move from Brisbane to a beach town near Bundaberg so to help pay for all that to happen some of my toys needed to go
anyhoo .. now I'm settled in here at Moore Park Beach with my new partner Nikki ( who also loves her Yamaha's .. she's got a ttr 230 and a wr250r
) We thought it was time to get another tenere ....What we decided to do was get an oldie to have as a project ...
what we wanted was something that wanst a complete wreck that we could tidy up together and use for a while until we get financial enough to give it a full restoration...
here is what we found .. a 1986 1VL

she starts and runs so most of our first part of the tidy up will be cosmetic and getting all the bits to work as they should then ride it and enjoy it for a while
the only bits that are missing that i can tell so far are the kick start lever and a tail rack..
if any of you guys have either of those laying around and would like to sell them to me, please let me know
I've never restored a bike before so no doubt there will be plenty of fuck ups along the way but this is going to be an adventure that we both can't wait to sink our teeth into
here she is at the start...
