BLUE YAMAHA TENERE 1987 model
Some F***ing Pikeys stole my beloved (and over insured) bike tonight at 20:45-21:00 hrs whilst I was in my house
The rear number plate was less than 3 inches from my front door (I had the battery on trickle charge)
So if you come across any 2nd hand parts for a 1VJ please post it here and send me a message as well.
As this bike has given me some great memories and was set to become a TravelBug itself (geocaching - anorak type game) I am particularly nauseated. I had major plans this summer which will need reviewing, racks etc etc. Ahhh bollocks
Its a Blue 23 liter'd model, yellow fork gaiters, Tank had some hastily done paint retouching. rack on the back, and a Garmin Etrex GPS mount on the handle bars. I also made my own wind shield which was fantastic. again Ahhh Bollocks.
Bastards bastards bastards.
On the bright side the Front sprocket was welded to the output shaft, and the rear wheel adjusters were on the last but one setting. Hee hee hee.
So it would have had to have been stripped for spares and even that would have meant extra effort, so will probably be dumped somewhere.
Interestingly I had a Maiko bend set of handle bars which resulted in a higher than normal set of handle bars and was a joy to ride, either standing up, or seated.
Absolutely gutted, hope that the Pikey trash scum come a cropper.
Apologies for those sensitive to violent language.
