Nice one mongo always nice to do something worthwhile on a bike other than sunday mornings and trackdays, hats off to ya, something to inspire us to do thats within our reach than circumnavigate the globe on big traillies Pics look great
I done round the coast of scotland a couple of years ago, but that was on my R1, the ten now has 12k on it in 17 months ownership and its been off the road for over 5 weeks sitting at the dealers cos of the damn o2 sensors (now with pc3 fitted and de-cat / k&n filter and tuned at YPE).
I searched on here for a good bag to get, and the bags connection one that came recommended on here was absolutely fantastic, i didnt even bother fitting the original tail unit as my tail tidy had nice connectors on it instead of the reg plate holder ones and was closer to the bolts! The bag was awesome and despite it saying has only been tested to 80mph, you can add a fair few +mph's onto that figure.
Because of averaging around 450 miles a day, i cant say that my ass or my wrists are sore at all, while it may be comfier on a different kind of bike, it was still very good fun on the ten. Now she is on 12k the engine feels nice and loose and always wants to lift the front wheel off the deck on the power.
I didn't believe there was so many towns called "San Pedro" in spain though, its hiliarious, we went through about 3 of them within an hour.
I can highly recommend getting away on the bikes and enjoy the stunning roads and scenery abroad, it was just fantastic, i wish i was back there! I thought i was daring in jeans and t-shirts until a local pedro blasts past you on his tourer wearing shorts and no t shirt and flip flops
