You've got residency sorted there Jed?

Yes mate. Had the pleasure of wading through a mire of Greek red tape to get that sorted. Got Greek driving licence now too.

Well I've been here since 2005 and never set foot outside the country......so it's the norm for me really.

It's certainly a lot better option than the alternative that's for sure!

long time!! Spain looks like it has some excellent riding judging by your images. Hope to get there soon.
 I’m looking to sell up and move full time to Greece in next few years. it’s a great base to explore from.

How long have you had you Tenere ?   I've had mine two years now after 15 years of riding KTM's, loving it so far 

 

Finally, after waiting for months, picked it up in May this year. Best bike I’ve had so far mate. Done 7k on it already. Looking to upgrade the seat from the “wooden” one it came with to a Touratech though!!!

@Jed........what do you do in Greece? Or are you retired?

Not retired, you need a pension or lottery win to do that don’t you Been winging it since 2016, working winters in Uk and just riding spring through to autumn in Greece and Turkey. Had some sweet trips through Balkans from MCR to Greece.  Next year I’m kicking off a small ADV bike rental and tour business. Will see if it takes off. 
How you finding Spain? Somewhere I haven’t ridden yet. It was part of my 2020 plan - ferry to Santander and then across the north into France, Italy and ferry, but Covid scuppered those plans!!!!!

Welcome Jed... quick question , do you support Man utd ?

No mate. Football ain’t my bag. Adventure riding and Spearfishing on the other hand…

Thanks for the welcome everyone

  Welcome in, but don't listen to Bob he's not all there. How does the T700 compare to the triumph? 

I loved the Triumph it was mint on long day’s rides. I had two. Took the last one - the xca off-road and it was hard work. The T7 is less comfy - saddle - and slightly less powerful, but for the riding I do in Greece I would say it’s the perfect bike. Torquey and feels like you’re riding a 450. 200 times better off-road.

Hi Jed......good to see you!

And you're the first signup from Greece!

Actually, it was your post on FB Adv Bike Riders which brought me here!!!! You put a link on for a ride you did in Spain! 
 

great pics and write up btw 

Thanks  Treme, I’m originally from Manchester Uk, but swapped countries back in 2016 

Swapped bikes this year from a Triumph 800 xca to the Tenere 700
