Tenere Bikes

At the KOA campground in Ouray, Colorado, where my family was staying, a banner advertised a Super Tenere Rally. The restaurant on site would be closed to the public because the Tenere riders would meet at the restaurant and enjoy a barbecue. Since I had never heard of Tenere, I listened as my son-in-law explained that he had spoken to some of the riders and that the bikes were both street bikes as well as off road bikes. The evening of the rally, all the blue bikes were lined up. The gathering included men and women but mostly men.




In the morning, at the motel where I was staying, a woman in riding gear was having breakfast and told me that Tenere bikes can go anywhere and that they run from $6000 to $14,000 or more. She had been riding for three years and loved it. She liked the Tenere bike because it can be a touring bike which is built for comfort and can travel main highways as well as being able to handle dirt trails.

Seeing all the blue bikes lined up almost made me want to join the group of Tenere riders!
