May I suggest:do something about the stock seat before leaving. Don't do as I did, thinking that seating comfort has never been much of an issue...so why bother? Somewhere around 20k miles I finally realized no one was giving me extra credit for suffering, and bought an Airhawk seat in Sweden (not recommended, but better there than if I'd waited until Norway).
Now, at 46k miles, the stock seat has absolutely no padding value left at all. The Airhawk literally saves my butt every day. Of course, there are alternatives.
enjoy,
Mark
