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. |

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!!

When you get back make note of what you didn't use and leave it behind next time. Can't over preach joy of travelling light. Try onebag.com for inspiration!
