I’ve retired my AT from long distance trail work now I’ve got the T7, but as I get older my choice of bike will have to get lighter!
Especially when riding in quick sand!

Wow.... that's properly stuck Was the extraction painful?! Next time please make a video of it (and maybe speed it up by x10)!

I did a time lapse expecting it to take a while but it was so easy to get out, I should have filmed it in normal time!

Nice to be out trail riding with a trio of Tenere’s today.

Some interesting mods on the left one.

How nice to see T7's out and about on the trails What are the mods to the bike on the left (aside from the obvious ones as can be seen in the pic)?
I do like the looks of the Rally edition, so much so that in a bout of impending madness I can see me splashing out on one.... makes no financial sense at all and will leave me with a lovely red/white one to move on - but I'm a sucker for those old time Paris/Dakar paint jobs, and the gold wheels look fantastico, too.

Get a retro vinyl make over. It will be much cheaper!

The bike on the left piloted by Darren had numerous mods including a smart vinyl by Crispy Designs.

Not sure if he’s on this forum to answer your question but Minkyhead might help out.

Every time I looked at his bike, I noticed more small details he’d modified/improved.

He’s a tall, solid chap so he ‘bossed’ the T7 around like he was riding a WR450.

The front suspension had been re-sprung/re-valved by K-Tech which he said was the best investment he’d made. He’d also fitted a 95N/mm rear spring.

He’d removed one of the front brake discs/caliper as he felt a twin set up was too aggressive for off road and fitted a cheapish exhaust end can subsequently shaved off a few kg’s.

He also said a chap he knows is currently working on an ABS bypass which I would welcome.

His bike look looked super lithe next to mine (probably due to the tapered tail tidy/compact number plate and removed indicators) but if I’m going to do more technical trails, I need to follow his lead and ditch my OEM centre stand with its stupid sticky outer foot lever and strap on an ugly stick!

Looks fantastic! A gaggle of T7’s, Is that Glen from Bristol in the Picture?

Not sure. It was a big group!

Front wheel wobble now fixed
New tyre fitted today, MT21
Solid now and so much better
More grip for winter too

On the way to dealers


More aggressive front tyre fitted

[bowber]

Alisons has a slight shimy on the front end with the standard front tyre, once it's a bit more worn I'll change it.

I would
It’ll make a big difference
Shimmy gone, even with a more aggressive tyre
