I have only done one continental trip, about 20 yrs ago to the Bol D'or. Now in a few weeks i'm doing a long weekend and about 1,000 miles ( fri - mon ). I have European recovery which i thought would be essential. I will be travelling as light as possible but wondered if there are any words of wisdom.
Have. Good tyres, recent service (oil, filter, TB and CO ), recovery, credit card.
Need. Cheap waterproofs - suggestions please.
I have had my bike ( 02 Mille R ) 2 years and only done about 5,000 miles so i'm a little nervous about my bike and want reassurance all will be ok.
Route, Calais ferry, up to Amsterdam for a night ( leave it, its too easy ), up to Northern Holland for a night, over to Luxembourg for a night, then back home.
Should I not worry about my'n and worry about my mates MV F4 who has just had a MV Corse pipe and ECU fitted - not been too reliable before mods. Should add this is a sweet bike, persuaded him to buy carbon front mudguard, carbon hugger , carbon chainguard and personalised MV logo'd seat.
Other 2 are BMW old men bikes.
Tips, advice, horror stories all appreciated.
