Kind of ****es over Charlie & Ewan.

Bloody typical - he passes another biker in the middle of nowhere (about 3 1/2 mins in) and doesn't even get a nod

Great video in a quirky kind of way! Maybe my Duke can be put to wider use than I thought?! terrible way to treat a sportsbike though...it would mortify me getting a bike so cruddy!

Did you look at the list of things he took with him. Even a CDI unit (you never know ).

What a nutter... I dread to think what sort of state the bike was in when he got home!!!!

As someone who is doing that journey very soon - 10 weeks to leaving and I am wishing time away!!!! - I would never do it on an R1!

Good top box though!

I saw the bike at the Scottish Bike Show... It was in pretty good nick, though I don't know how much tidying up it'd had. Wouldn't have looked out of place in a london solo MC bay...
