Ah - bike cleaning? Not much is the short answer! It got a wash in Brasov and the nice Swiss washed it when it had its 16k service in Zurich. Also in Nuremburg on the way out.
Most Pensions have locked in parking and a hosepipe if you get the urge.

Everything went into the tailpack and tankbag except the trainers which lived in a plastic bag bungeed to the Oxford tailpack.

Gaffa tape, alun keys and I wish I had taken a tommy bar and a 24mm socket for chain adjusts. Can buy lube anywhere along the way, just ask the locals.

Next trip could be April 'Two Oceans, 5 countries and bloody big waterfall' in Southern Africa taking in SA, Namibia, Botswana, Zambia and a Mocambique. More organised with a pickup for support and to carry the gear. You know what softies the Africans are ..

Anyone interested in the trip around the Tonle Sap Lake on a 250cc dirt bike I did alone back in April? Cambodia is the wild west but huge fun if you avoid the landmines. :cool:

Ah so Grasshopper, but a journey is not only into the world, but also into yourself. Alone is 'interesting' and you get to think about those big questions we never seem to have time for. I agree its not for everyone, but I like it.
