5,000mls on 999R in 10 days Did it,aly an a hell of a lot more
Description
Fitting the rack to a 999R (that a courier delivered at midnight), sorting out what to take and what would fit, my un-booked ferry left at 6am... WE LEFT AT 2AM. FULLY LOADED ON A BIKE IDE ONLY DONE 60 MILES ON!
And so it began...France-Germany-Switzerland. As this really was a last minute reality, the day before I set off I bought (what i thought to be) an extreme sleeping bag! IDIOT EXtreme my arse XS!... EXTRA SMALL! (And bloody cold in Switzerland)..... Italy (managed lake Garda, Bologna factory and Pizza then got an overnight ferry to... Sardinia. 100 miles across and met up with a couple of other lads who took a slightly different route.
Travelled up North and got the ferry crossing to Corsica. I really expected my bike to be in absolute pieces. It was right at the front of the hold and needless to say the crossing was a bit choppy (very understated).
Corsica..... (gota go back there), Travelled right up north to get a Ferry straight back to France and eventually home.
5000 miles no problems. Regrets? Two... STICKY TYRES ARE TO LUST FOR
