....now has every one practiced reaching for the kill switch while you are in an oh shit, oh shit frame of mind

Enjoy your trip

Which of the pretty buttons is the kill switch? I thought if you point it where you want to go, look ahead, stand up, the BMW auto mode stuff kicks in and it crossed for you?

Does someone walk across those deep crossings to plot a bit of a safest route option ?

I'd be more inclined on those deep crossing to maybe help each rider across as a group ? Everyone please take your croc shoes and swimming shorts .

I nominate you .

Now listen.

At the football games watching man City in the 80's huge inflatable bananas were a bit of a trend. If you want a couple for each side of your bike for those deeper crossings no probs !

Mad isn't it.

10 mins of walking a route could save hours pumping the bikes out I'd of thought.

That Timbo is a tall chap isn't he ?

Not convinced about standing up for river crossing, nae chance of taking a dab is there.

But less chance of needing one, move your weight long before thinking about a dab ....... if you don't know how, sit down

Just watched it and have decided to dig out some of my "other" kit for this trip

Tim I do trials so I know about moving my weight on a 65 kilo bike, I'm no so sure about it on a 210 kilo bike with probably another 30 kilos of kit.
