Hey Mac

What gear if any are you putting on the bike for shipping?? I'm still debating whether to take camping gear and luggage on the plane.

Put everything bar my clothes riding gear, helmet and camera. Anything that could be awkward to replace in a hurry. Attachment 13353

I didn't fit the bicycle panniers in the end, after fitting the sump guard the right side one was touching the now exposed exhaust, I've got a large lomo roll top holdall that I'll be putting the stuff on the back seat into, will be using it to push my gear for the plane. I think I'll be dumping stuff I don't need in bins as I pass them,

Do you have any plans to travel into the Highlands? I've got some fairly aggressive tyres fitted at the mo for this reason. I might change though for something more 50/50 road dirt combo.

What do you reckon?

I'm planning on trying ad much of the highlands as I can, I've got Mitas E07 s fitted front and rear, last one on front was changed after nearly 12k km, still had useable thread left at that, put on a new rear also as the last one squared off badly after about 4k km both used on tar 99% of the time. Not sure if it's best tyre s for the job but I'm more then happy to do the trip with them.the only real worry I have for the highlands is being able to carry enough fuel, but must people probably worry about that.

Ha ha no worries. As for the fuel? I'm fitting an aux fuel tank which will give me around an extra 100 miles. So should be Ok.

Cheers Mac. Have a good flight and ride safe. If you can send me your number on here. I called my network provider today to get mine unlocked, I'll get a sim card once we land. It'd be good to hook up.

mac90 7 Aug 2014 10:26

I'll pass on my number when I get sorted,
