Just you - I'm in too much pain in that area right now to do anything like that.

just packed the suzuki cagoules in to the kriega us 10 and thefleeces and then the one piece full wet suits in the kriega bum bags.. hoping we wont need them,, so we goin in leathers.. looked at metcheck and its changed to a wee bit damp- but we will see eh,,

was hoping wudda put the wet kit in the bags and never seen it again.... til we got back..

time will tell..

only a few t shirts undies and smellies to put in and we be packed ha

tel ya what that Kriega gear is expensive but it all clicks together ace and holds loads.. and is neat - so got the us30 on the tank now with a us 10 attached- rucksack 25 with us 10 attached and then the KRIEGA BUM BAG with additional kube pocket on me and mandy- one each


so we all Kriega'd up.. but its top stuff and waterproof and is good for the mountain bviking too so worth the investment over the years ..

oh and...

































me white crocks might make an appearance !!

bricking it ..?? awwww don't-

its fun.. everyone is friendly-- yea its a long way gracie but just look at it like a few ride outs all clubbed together..


ride your own ride.
dont get sucked in ..
back off if you want
slow down if you want
dont attempt silly ovwertakes to save 10 seconds..

look ahead- plan ahead..and stay alert..

enjoy it.... really enjoy it..


and treat everyone else on the road as if they aint seen you..


you will be fine..

I assure you it will be one of the best things you done for years - it will knacker you - exilerate you and make you smile and cry at the same time... and you will get home and sleep for a week with a major smile on your face- new friends and memories of scenery and roads liek you would never ever believe.. .

you will see some amazingly good riders, some safe riders some idiots and some guys that you think.. have they no fear... but you will also evaluate yourself and I would lay you a fiver to a penny that you will be realise you are a better rider than you thought and sit higher in a pack than you expected..



dont worry ... we all here - all felt like that , and tbh a little fear is a good thing- keep you focused and within your limits..

Leathers and a fleece each for us. No wussy waterproofs. Wonder how we might regret that. Time will tell.
