Off to Picos De Europa tomorrow....

Oh that sucks.

Did you brake pads last?

 

Only did 20 miles yesterday and staying off bike today. Hopefully they'll get me home. 350 miles.

 

Left hotel at 9am. It was 4c, wet and windy. Horrible ride to Bilbao. Only used front brakes twice. Tried a Honda garage in Bilbao but they had none. On boat now at least

 

I know its not the most helpful now, but if you are staying in one place for a few days, you could order them online and have them delivered to the hotel to fit in a local garage.

 

It only became an issue with 2 days to go. Imagined it would be a simple fix, as in find bike garage and fit pads. Then ferry delayed didn't help. If a Honda main dealer hasn't stock in a major city, then what. Fuck me, I'm on a Repsol blade flying the flag for Spain and they let me down

 

Got home safely after very cold 240km ride this morning. 4c in jacket with liner removed and summer gloves no joke.

 

What was the luggage set up - a rucksack ?

 

Yeah. a backpack, 2 pairs of shorts, 7 tshirts, jocks & socks, toiletries & spare gloves. Loads!!

 

Got the brake pads replaced today. Here's the old ones

 

Oh dear.. will have to take some in your backpack next time..

 

Pah poor effort, @F1CT1C10U5 would do half a track day on those
