Mark909 Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 I have just purchased Tenni T003. What a stunning motorcycle! I consider myself very fortunate to have her in my garage. Please add me to the registry. A short story on how this came to be...... I saw it advertised online by a guy in Sydney, it looked great, but I'm in Brisbane. Fortunately a Guzzi club member in Sydney was happy to help out and went off to look at the bike for me. He reported the bike to be as perfect as can be. It has both seats, the certificate, and everything the bike came with. It has been fitted with very nice aftermarket mufflers, but the standard pipes were included also. That was it for me, I had to have it! After a bit of organizing a couple of weeks later I got an early flight to Sydney to finalize the deal and ride the bike home. When I arrived at the sellers place the bike was out front waiting for me. It was in fact the first time I had ever seen a Tenni other than in pictures. I knew the Tenni to be a beautiful bike, but I was amazed to find it looked even more lovely than I had expected. At the time I got the bike it had only done 3,300km. I added another 1,000km getting her home. What a great way to get to know the bike It looks like you've got a great community going here, I'm looking forward to being part of it.

roberto tenni Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Very nice condition. I bought my Tenni a couple of years ago and still can't believe how beautiful it is and how lucky I am. Havn't stopped grinning either. I might be over in the Brisbane area in Oct '09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garsdad Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Welcome. As you know, anything less than a Tenni is just a LeMans! I bought mine sight-unseen and rode her 800 miles home. Great way to learn what she likes and doesn't like! Order a Roper plate and everything is good. Garsdad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Van Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Hi'ya Brian and welcome to the Tenni Registry!! You'll find that the V11 form is absolutly great and populated by some very interesting "characters", to say the least. As for your Tenni, I'm glad to find such a low number out there! It confirms what I thought, that the first batch of Tenni's where exported to the far east and down under. Seems you guys got them first. The Tenni's are quite remarkable as they are stunning example of the V11's and there are so few of them out there. They have ...touch wood.... been very reliable, I got mine with just over 1000 miles and now have over 9000 trouble free miles on her. I up-dated the relays, changed the transmission pawl spring and changed the clutch switch. I'm a fair weather rider for the most part but have gone on one good trip per year and find the Tenni to be a perfect long distance sport tourer, eating up distance with great ease. The only down side of Tenni ownership is the high level of jealousy that we get from some of the other groups, most noticably the Scurra riders. I'll up-date the registry as soon as I can Anyway, again welcome, and enjoy your great ride Cheers Van Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Van Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Hi Van, how are you? I hope fine!In Italy another two month's in standby for the the springtime. the right period for one or two work's on my Tenni ! See You Giovanni Giovanni, com est ta...I hope thats right we are in the middle of our winter, cold rain, lots of snow and now fog and ice......not riding weather. But the perfect time to polish the Tenni for the summer. I just finished watching "the long way down" and watched them go through the Guzzi factory.....FANTASTIC!! To think, our bikes came from there!....cool! .....one day I'd love to get to lake Como and check it all out. Cheers Van Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark909 Posted February 2, 2009 Author Share Posted February 2, 2009 Hi Keith, Thanks for the PM, as you may guess from my response I answered it before reading your post here. now it all makes sense I'm not heading to the supers or anywhere much else this year. If you wander my way let me know, you'll be made welcome. No doubt you enjoyed Tassie, I've toured there on bikes twice ('92 & '96), one of the great riding destinations for sure. I'd love to get back there sometime, it'd be a perfect trip for the Norge, just gotta make it happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
