1. Someone visits you on a Tenere 700, you have been fighting the urge to ride one but the white and red just tips you over the edge.
2. browse the interweb and search for Tenere 700 at the local dealers. Make a few tentative enquiries at a few of them.
3. Find a nice looking used (priced more than a new model) at Thunder Road. Ignore the price, get a test ride, then buy one elsewhere.
4. This morning, ring Thunder Road to change the time of the test ride. "Can I speak to Ken please"? "who"?
"Ken, I have a test ride booked with him today". "No you don't we can't offer test rides on used bikes"
5. Receive a call from Ken at JTs in Swansea (who I will never buy from), confirming my test ride.
