my first road trip.

January,never been abroad, so i ordered my passport, and got it about 3weeks later after an interview lol

february, club meeting,and confirmed dates, so straight home and paid for my flights,,,
got a wee ride-out too on one of the dry days, the end of last years tyre is done,, to the wire,,, and the rear pads are shot.
So,, the agenda this week is tyre and pads..
.
tax is due at the end of feb, and M.O.T. mid march.

club first run is a biggie, on the 6th of march,, i'll get a few snaps of the turn out.

update again soon.
.**TODAY**
wheel out, oil and filter changed, plugs changed, air filter ok.
also radiator drained and flushed through and replenished.
run to temp and check fan.
*chain and both sprockets changed october last year,and there's only a couple of hundred miles on it, front pads changed then too.new downpipes early last summer.

 

Looking forward to pics. Sounds like you're well prepared & ready.

 

Ah the big PREP' begins eh Ken ? ..... watchout Stevio here comes another Hurricane
from Northern Ireland

That's one tidy and cozy looking shed you keep her in too

BTW you say you have never been abroad ..... well Italy is most certainly a great place to
head to on your trip.

 

well its been busy in my house,
the youngest son got his wee rs50 aprilia tuono on the road, and with MOT inspection, the wee thing eats headlight bulbs, so i'm fiddling with a spare lens trying to install LED's and a switch,,


*got new gloves, helmet and therma-cool top&trousers for the trip this month

club run *so we got a run out last week there, the tyre's well scrubbed in, pads bedded in, and 24 bikes hit the coast for our club run.

here they are all, with a few out of site in the distance parked behind.
think i'm the 3rd one from the left, a good mix of bikes out.

.
.i think the verified number going to stelvio so far is 14, hope to get 3-4 more to fill the truck up. details are on our main and facebook pages

not a lot of organising for me to do for now, just save save save.

 

right, bike has had a once over, tyres filled with nitrogen,
number plate(standard) fitted, spare bulbs, some tools(not a lot as we'll share all the basics), mini cam mounted,

11 days to loading &
18 days to flight

sleepless nights are started

 

Hope it's a great trip Ken ...... wish I was doing Stevio with yez, but hey me and CB2CBR and potentially one other will be up in Canada at the same time

Ride Safe man and have a blast ..... lotsa PIC's ......

 

if i can get on the pc while i'm away, i'll try and throw in a pic of the day and a wee word or two.
but i might be shizzled so i'll play it by ear

 

uh oh getting shizzled could be very dangerous when posting up.
But , I have noticed it has happened on here from time to time ......right Mr Classic ?

 

keep your finger poised by the delete button sprock

 

so excited,,, had to load up to check weight and comfort
loading it 36 hours time,,,

who's jealous ?
