Thats some mileage! Hope you enjoyed it - did 3000 miles in Europe a couple of years ago in a cage (before I got into bikes) would love to repeat a similar thing on the bike....

The last 600 Miles were actually agony, i had to use my spare pair of gloves as extra padding, im better today but i doubt ill ever do that sort of millage on an sv again,

No we got out in one piece because we didnt go any where near paris!


Ill sort out the pics today, just trying to think of the best way to do it..

Cheers

Something I was thinking of doing myself. It's 670 miles to Milan where I used to live which doesn't seem too bad.......just looking for a good week of weather.

Euro Trip anyone?
