Exactly. Most on here are only jealous they havnt got the muscle to do this sort of thing any longer without an afternoon nap and a drip feed of sanatogen

Nothing wrong with Sanatogen...

Imagine a PSV OR HGV driver doing a similar long haul journey taking the same breaks would all and sundry be applauding that?

As many here know there's no need to dehydrate on those long days in the saddle when stops are limited.

Great kit.

Not the end of the story, sorted a few things put the CBX to bed, grabbed the keys of another bike and headed back, Cork ferry dropped me in Roscoff at 7:40am

And another thing, put wheels on my Aunty and she'd be a cart.

Cracking to see a lovely classic bike being used in earnest - brilliant.

As Pat is presumably an adult, should we not credit him with the wit to have grabbed water at one of his many fuel stops, had he been thirsty..

Great ride report imho.
