Just keep the tank bag small, a useful headrest for motorways and job jobbed.

Soft Panniers FTL. 1 week where I packed way too much:

Jake, in France you do not need a warning triangle if your vehicle has hazard lights (which your Pointy does) take a Hi Viz vest though and spare headlight bulb if you want to comply with the law.

also i read in a copy of ride magazine once that sachets of sugar, like the ones from Mc Donalds, are great for getting oil and grime off of your hands by the roadside. the article said to carry a small bottle of water for keeping up your liquid intake, and that mixing the sugar with some water in your hands gets the worst off the muck off fairly easily!

Sugar will get your hands sticky - so a different problem, but a sachet of salt + water would work well :thumbsup:

Re: My European Tour. HELP!

Welcome to the org. My Oxford Sport throw overs do the same thing to my indy's. I just live with it.

I agree aim for apx 200 miles each leg.

Add yourself to the map(s) below (sig) and keep your eye on the South & West Surfers section for meets etc.
