The Fools Will Ride – Chapter Two

The Fools and the Hardcore Encore
I was moving in slow motion, drifting slowly into the abyss.  The thin layer of snotty mud covering the hard packed surface was no match for the knobblies.  It didn’t help that I was heading downhill and the off camber angle was increasing.  The Tenere 700 weighs in at 450+ pounds and if it wants to start going somewhere, it’s just gonna go, or is it?  I dab my right leg on the upper camber, push down on the peg with my left and slide the rear down in towards the trench then bounce my arse off the seat while goosing the throttle… The T7 growls to life, freely slinging mud aided by the R&G Tidy Tail.  I feel the sweet bite of the rear rubber as the #TankTenere700 pulses forward to regain my position on the thin flat spot atop the off camber trail.
