I am planning two months away, beginning next month and would like to go to spain, probably Plymouth Santander, then up through Spain maybe stop Pecos Europa area and head into France, up to Poitiers area, than accross france to Vienna and then back home to blighty. Whilst this may seem a bit of a daunting trip for a virgin traveller, I would welcome any advice, tips on places to visit, warnings and general advice as me and the "Big red one" (GS850) are itching to go and this will probably be a "once in a lifetime oppertunity"
So far, bikes in for full 30k service, BMW extended warranty will be current for trip,any advice on dealers in aforementioned places in case emergency.
Using std BMW panniers, hein gerricke tank bag, Oxford tail bag, tent etc.
Richa Tour jacket, leather trousers, overtrousers and light fleece shirts, minimal clothing.
AA 2003 road atlas Europe, any other suggestions?
Trangia stove (meths) mainly for emergency brew up/meal, platypus water carrier,first aid kit,
Any other neccesities advice on what paperwork would be well received.
Thanks in advance, anyone in Europe from June/July, keep an eye out for Fat beardy guy on big red......
