Re: SV made it through the Apls
Ha yes the bag even includes running kit. It's hard to run after riding all day though.
I decided to wing it, check tyre pressures and strap on a rucksack. I wasn't camping (obviously) but booking.com app on smartphone is ideal for flexible accommodation according to your budget. Near Lake Garda I was paying €25 a night Did Belgium, Luxemburg, Germany, Austria, Italy and back through France. Highlights were Romantic Road in Germany (took 2 days but could spend much longer) and Napoleonic way coming back through France. And Rombo Pass over the Alps obviously. Everyone else was on GSes. Everyone. |

Re: SV made it through the Apls
Nice one!
Would it better in Talk and Issues? Then post more pictures please, those views are epic. Of course, if the bike has developed a fault as a result of the trip or is suffering from altitude sickness then crack on!!

Re: SV made it through the Apls
Heading to alps next week, wish I was only taking that amount of stuff though, I think my bike will need a HGV license the amount I've go to strap to it.
