Dirk I see you

Hey Dirk, on your way out did you meet Nathan on a D675. He was on his way to Paris. He certainly met you!!

Quote from his post over on Triumph675.net:

' Also nearly got crushed by a top heavy swaying (most laden down I have ever seen) bike of a slightly mad Englishman about to head off for a 1 year motorcycling journey ("Have to do the run before bloody ewan mcgreggor!"). '

Could've been me - the spare tyre sits on the back seat & the tent & kit bag & petrol can kinda sit on top of that. I've adjusetd the pre-load so it doesn't rock as much.....

Got any location/dates? I was in Paris on the peripherique on about the 3rd April....

Dirk, this was before you even crossed the channel, England 1 April. Next bit:

'He's got an interesting setup on his bike: has doubled up everything ready to swap over if something breaks: e.g. cabling, wiring etc.
But god I wouldn't want to ride his bike: he's got everything and anything loading it down. Must way a tonne and handle like ****. '

Ahhh...twasn't me!

My spare clutch & throttle cables are in a pannier - if I'd had another week prep then I may have put them in place ready to switch over.....
