Oh dear…..not the best start to a tour.

Poor buggers, I bet they’ve been planning that trip for ages.
The bike colour scheme is not my cup of tea but it’s no business of mine - if they like it then great.

It’s like the old saying if want to go touring in Europe go on a BMW if you’re worrying about coming back go on a Honda
Fair play to the rider with getting the bike vertical off the side stand with all that clobber he had fitted to the bike , hope his new battery sorts his problem out , but as we all know with the 1250 it’s can be a bit it & miss
I was thinking that, the Noco was showing full connection? He but as he said to her “ dont rev it “
Thats MY job
Found this be accident, the end few seconds is the icing on their cake 
Think I'd be trading in that bike asap!

The battery woes in this thread are the current trip just posted .
At least not much happened in between, well apart from this 5 months ago……
I think I’d give up and take the train

does he not have the brains to just reduce speed , if it needs it , and get off of the M20.

Guided by the lights, I think they are more in control of the bike than him
I take my hat off to him for filming all his troubles especially the U lock f**k up .
Not only that but then posts it all on line for people to have a pop at

An accident looking for somewhere to happen .... a simple coiled lanyard onto the bars as a reminder about the U-Lock would avoid that happening

Let he who hath never tried to ride off with a lock still on cast the first stone 
If he took all the advice on here……….
1. He’d have to carry…….
70kg of security devices
10m of rescue rope
5kg of French police hi viz safety essentials
90 kg of spare levers
25kg of other unnecessary shite.
2. He’d accept that his bike would get stolen at least 3 times a day
3. He’d accept that it will end in failure because it happened to someone on here 3 billion years ago.
Actually he’d never get out the door…..
As it is, he’s out there making it happen, things go wrong, he works the problem.
Good luck to him
