So.....decision made.....me and my pal from ooop north..Durham....have decided to ride from UK to Oz.
We kick off in April and ride down to the bottom of Italy with a few detours along the way...then Bari across to Albania, Greece, Turkey, Georgia Azerbaijan..ferry from Baku to Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan,Kyrgyzstan, China, Everest, Laos, Thailand and ship bikes to Darwin........
Having been a gsa rider for many years I’ve decided that a smaller bike for when, not if, but when I drop it several times will be easier to pick up.
.....so what am I going on..........KTM790R....yes I’ve read all the shit about problems but we will soon see.....
New bike purchased so need to get a few miles on and iron out the problems along with all the farkling to be done.....
My buddy may...may...do it on his KTM1290R
....more on this later.....
So I’ve sat on the 790R in the dealers and realised it would be a great help if my fekkin feet reached the ground ....anyway deal is done....off with the two inch screen and on with a larger version.
Now to sort luggage....soft or hard....yes I know....hard is always good
. Maybe soft for this trip...I’m open to suggestions..
Right then.....I aim to keep this running as we build up to the big one and hopefully through to Bangkok or Oz......I’m off to collect the bike now I’ve had my legs stretched...........
