Thought I would give all you helpful people an update on my prep, which I have to say i'm thoroughly enjoying.
Got myself a new front tyre as the front was losing air a bit and Ive had it on for good few years. The rear looks like its got about 1000 to 1500 miles left so thats more than enough I'm sure. Worse case I'll get a new one fitted before I go but certainly no need yet and thats a pretty quick fix.

Ive bought myself a stop and go puncture kit, air pressure gauge, little jump leads and a wind up torch. All very small so easy to keep in the scooter and give me a bit of piece of mind.

Good call on the service as I do need one soon and been putting it off due to £££ so I will book one in advance for end of April ready for my trip mid May.

To buy,
A GB sticker as my number plate does not show the Euro flag. I went into Halfords but they only had car ones so I will pop into a George Whites or Hein Gericke on the weekend and pick up one of them as I assume they have them?

I've found a battery extender which I hope means I can use my Sat Nav for quite a few hours so might get this Portable Power Supplies - PortaPow USB Battery

And work out were i'm going & get some maps!

See if I have a suitable bag to use on the bike or buy a cheap one.

Ive told a few people what I'm planning and they all look at me like I'm mad as I'm going on my own. Its like they are saying "thats a shame you must be so lonely" lol As you can imagine they don't ride, I think it will be great.


A question I forgot to ask, for the ferry home do I need to book this in advance or can I just turn up buy a ticket and come home?
Or if I have to maybe the day before? The reason I ask is i could spend up to 10 night but I'm planning 7. However if Its a trip of a lifetime (so far) I wondered if I had flexibility?

Ok thats all for now.
