It’s a hazard of the job that up until now I have been relatively resistant to – collecting bikes. I have owned a few over the years: a CB500 to race, Z1000 because it was beautiful, and a 2009 ZX-6R which, ultimately, I fell in love with, to name but a few. However, work in a dog’s home and you will undoubtedly have homed a dog; a stationery shop I would imagine you would have pens everywhere and working on a bike mag. Well, every now and then a bike comes along that you can’t imagine living without – this is how I am feeling about this Ténéré 700.
I have been back in the seat for long periods
