    Okay. .. and breathe. ..Uk, we need to talk.

    Does that lot not become a bit of a lump when you're 'sending it on a bit?'

    Only difference is your eyes get wider & your rear tyre get fatter!

    Did you pay duty on the wine? That's my little pun for the evening.

    I'm going to let this pass, Uk, cos the scenery is so pretty in the first pic. I cannot see the scenery in the 2nd because. ..well...you know why. If you look deep within yourself you know why.

    Kreiga Crew - you cannot fit that amount of stuff into your flimsly little bags - end of - thats 50ltr of ventura plus what looks like another 50 ltr on the back - so just how many bags would you need for that - three 30's plus a 10 - does that honestly all fit / work?

    That's not bad packing to get all that on your bike and bet you have saved a fortune in hotels - plus at Le Mans you want to be in the circuit not miles away in a mega bucks hotel.

    Watch that area near the border with France - had phone pinched in classic 'real hustle' type theft by deception...

    Guessing you head north tomorrow?

    No matter how wet it gets - my blade was perfect in Germany even after 9 hours torrential rain...

    Weather could change totally tomorrow and be perfect for you
