Update. Been an eventful year for me - my plans of a European trip had to be put on hold. Had both knees replaced - left knee a few weeks ago the right last December - which prevented me getting out this year. My Harley sold on after 15 years of ownership - sad really but with all my camping gear found her just too heavy to hold up at stops/junctions etc I knew i was going to drop it - though did manage a long tour last summer before she went to a new owner -My touring about revealed I like my camping comforts too much and unable to fit it all on a solo bike
So not to be defeated - with the proceeds of the Harley sale bought a Triumph America with a Monza sidecar. Now i won't drop her at stops - and can carry all my gear. Folding chair and small table, a decent mattress , good sized sleeping bag, larger cooker and so on.
Been getting some "piloting"practice on the outfit recently in preparation for next years European trip - plans to celebrate my 70th birthday on the road.
