Awesome pics and awesome bike for touring!

Like a few others have already said, I'm doing something along these lines next year and pictures like these make me even more impatient to go!

Oh and those little lizard dudes look like the 1s that were crawling all over the seating on the parabolica at Monza. My gf saw them and freaked, I said theyre harmless don't be a wuss, and 1 of them then promptly nipped her on the leg

Cheers guys.

If anyone fancies taking the bike to Europe (and who doesn't!), then do it. It's awesome. Even the sh*tty bits like bombing down the French motorways are 100 times more enjoyable than the UK! Having done it again, I'm just gutted that I'd left it 7 years since the last one. There's loadsa guys on here who have done it, so pick some brains and start planning.

This trip was meant to be a last fling for me & the Busa, but there's too much of a bond now, so she's staying .

As for the lizards, Wendy said to me "Calm down for God sake, they're more scared of you than you are of them". My repy was........."I DON'T f**KING THINK SO". I know they don't eat people regularly, but they were everywhere . There was hardly any spiders, so I'm wondering if they eat them all. Maybe the little sh*ts aren't so bad after all.

There was a good one in Thailand... we'd all gone out on the p*ss... my Grandma stayed back at the hotel, a bloody massive spider wandered in under the gap between the door and frame followed by a lizard. She's terrified of spiders but managed to take a pic... the lizard proceeded to stalk the spider to the middle of the room and chomp it with audible crunching.
If you don't like spiders don't go to Thailand!

another lizard/Grandma related one... she gets serious reactions to mozzie bites, we used to go visit her as a kid when they had a pub in Gibraltar, they had a lizard move into the bedroom which helpfully chomped all the mozzies and she didn't get bitten for years then while the rest of us got eaten alive! It slowly turned from greeny/brown to almost transparent so it matched the white walls
