I had to get some spare bits for my boots. And it would be rude not to look

hey, I'm off to Fowlers this Saturday to collect my new ktm!!!! just buying a 250exc (4 stroke)!!! Fowlers are doing a storming deal which makes it worthwhile traveling from hastings for!!!! (enduro bike by the way, as I'm getting hooked on the off road thing even though I am rubbish!)

Fantastic bike...

Just a short trip then

What bits and pieces are you taking? What did you buy for the bike? Tell me more....

OK... Proposed duration of the trip is now two years - it was a year so lucked out there! Route is a meander aroudn Europe and North Africa throughout this summer winding up in Turkey for the beginning of September, then cross Iran and Pakistan and into India. Anotehr wander around India including a run to the mountains and nepal etc before heading into Banglasdesh where we'll fly the bike to Thailand - can't cross Burma as yet. From there we head south with a bit of bribery to get into Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam... It can be done and then continue south until we can pretty much go no futher, then ship / fly into Darwin and loop Oz!

As for the bike it is a pretty standard 950 but has luggage, crash bars and a Scottoiler. Luggage equates to the KTM tank bag, 54 litre Givi top box, and the gobi hard cases for the side. We are going two up so I have invested in a re-shaped gell seat. Each of us has a case for clothes but mine will include the docs as I need less space!

Top box will be med kit and spares, as it stands - sprockets, plugs, maybe a chain and tools - not much as KTM reckon they can get any part anywhere pretty quick! Tank bag will have all the cameras etc.

I've had the bike since December and in that time stuffed 10,000 miles on it in an attempt to break it but it has been cool, I'm impressed. Its the best bike I have ever had as it does everything really well and the speed of it has shocked a few people!!! I'll change the tires before we go but thats about it. I've fitted an autocom, that should be entertaining!!!!!

Biggest headache is the carnet issue, got to buy that once the house sale is through...

Shout what else you want to know! We are planning to bring it to the annual ride out if we can!!!!
