Hi just saw this its posted in the Motorcycle Events Around The World.
Looks very intresting.

Hi I copied this from the Events around the world section

"TÉNÉRÉ LEGEND" international meeting 2008

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ready at last: 25 years of wanderlust, 25 years of distant places, 25 years of adventure,
25 years TÉNÉRÉ! Congratulations!

What bounds up all motor bikes called TÉNÉRÉ with its drivers? It is the many adventures that
we were allowed to experience, that we were told and that we could observe in the press.

TÉNÉRÉ stands for adventure! It challenges us to travel to distant places, cultures, uphill,
downhill, on bendy roads, on gravel and asphalt.

We – TÉNÉRÉ bigots and not a company – invite you to be in on the 25th Birthday
of the TÉNÉRÉ which we will celebrate from the 30th of May to the 1st of June 2008
in MOTHERN FRANCE. We gave our best shot to make it a big occasion!

Be in when there are original rally TÉNÉRÉs and drivers to marvel at.
Get mesmerized by driving during a training on a self-groomed racing track.
There will be experienced drivers as instructors on site.

Get familiar with the country of Stéphane Peterhansel.
We have prepared maps for you so that you can explore the countrysite
with your TÉNÉRÉs by yourself.

Meet like-minded people from all over the world and swap ideas.
We have invited all popular TÉNÉRÉ clubs known to us, former rally TÉNÉRÉ
drivers and motor bike travellers.

Barter or sell spare parts on the flea market. Get freebies from sponsors.
Your mobility is guaranteed by a repair and assembling shop with spare parts.

The moto-cross area in Mothern (France) is waiting for you!
You will also find a campground with sanitation. Furthermore,
you will be regaled by the “Club Motor-Cross Mothern”.

Detailed information can be found on our constantly growing website:
tenerelegend.com


IMPORTANT:
You will need a „international motor insurance card” for driving onsite.
You are not allowed to drive on blocked roads in the vicinity,
otherwise you will be excluded from the event.
The French traffic regulations apply (Code de la rout francais) onsite.
Open fire is not permitted, especially on the campground.
The instruction of the personal is to be followed.
Arrival and departure is on the visitors own risk.
The organizer reserves the right to change the course and arrangement
of the event.

where? when? Link?

It's in the "motorcycle events around the world thread" in a post from about 1 week ago.

I'm gonna go. Any other takers?

I will also be going just hope the Tenere will be back together by then dont want to go on the TTR

I'm down in brighton, you want to ride together Bolla??

That could be a plan I will let you know nearer the time. Any one else from the UK going?

There is also the 1st HU meeting in Germany the week before the Tenere meeting I think its about 100 kms between the two meetings. If the weathers looking good I may take a couple of weeks off and do both.

2 x Tenere's
 

The XT Girls will DEFINITETLY be going!!

We're riding from London - so would love to hook up with you guys!

Tenere Legend 2008
 

Hello All,

I'd be interested in travelling along with anyone going to this event. Being a novice traveller, I could do with getting the experience under my belt, just need to prepare the bike and arrange time off work...

Hi All.........I will try to show my face for a day or two. I will be comming off a previously organized trip in the Pryenees so it may be a stretch...

Sounds like a good idea! :thumbup1:

Anyone got an idea over ferry times,prices etc..

I'll be travelling down from N Wales and it would be good to tag along with others..

Andy

480 miles from Kent
 

I may well have to be there, if I leave on the 04:30 ferry I could be in Morten for a a quick beer before lunch time sandiches and hoolaginism. Spend two night there then catch the 14:00 or 15:00 ferry back on Sunday afternoon.

I will pick up with anyone on an XT at that time in the morning on the ferry

Great weekend.

The cost for two on a motorbike is €18 each way at P&O ferries.

Looks like I now I have a target date for all my preparation to be complete by.

See you there. G

Ah, I would love to go! I just bought an XT and will bring it back to London next week....and then there are exams coming up. Should be just about finished then, so I might go. Fancy joining to ride, impasto?

Just re-read this and the original post mentions" international insurance card" needed.Is this a Green card? My insurance company does'nt issue them so maybe a slight hiccup.
Anyone else travelling down?
Andy

green card, driving licence, id-card
 

@Andy

You only need a "greeen card" to drive on the moto-cross course.
That is to make sure your bike is insured. I heard that in GB there are no more "green cards".
If you have anything else to let us know your bike is insured, it will be no problem to go onsite.

With or without the "green card", there will be enough other things to do.
Maybe you want to make a test-drive with the new XT660Z Ténéré.
Then you need a valid driving licence and an id-card. :innocent:

Thats good news,I don't think I'll be taking to the motorcross track, the old girl wouldn't take it well!!!
Very few, if any insurance companies in the UK issue Green cards now.Saying that their Insurance document is enough proof.

Andy

So tempting
 

I came back to Ireland from the States to sort out a visa, wasn't intending to hang around, but this sounds like a "must do".
Couldn't think of a better thing to do before I head back.
I'd be doing it on a true shoestring budget.
Would be cool to hook up with somepeople on the way.
I just need tyres.

XT Girls had fun!!
 

Guys!!

We just HAD to come back and congratulate the organisers on a FANTASTIC event... and ofcourse, let everyone from the UK know what they missed!!!

Apart from coming back from the event, completely educated and deeply soaked in Tenere culture... we had looooaaads of fun.

Not to mention, that some of the guys, actually let us ride their bikes... now THAT is brave!!

I've done a quick write-up (XT Girls style... be warned, its tongue-in-cheek, so don't get all serious about it!) and will be posting our videos and pictures soon.
