Hello Duncan, you are very welcome on here. Someone will soon demand a picture of your PP with a bin or two in the background. I advise you to do that before being asked (and no, I'm not sure why the bins either). It sounds like you know what you want and probably now have it. I think cross border raids will be available for quite some time as no matter what wee Kranky wants, Boris won't allow it. Don't write off long tours just yet, once you get some miles in you may just find that your horizons change.
Hey newbie *Duncan great write up but you forgot your bin pictures include your bike if you like they keep me happy welcome into our mad house
Hi and a very warm welcome to the fold Totally agree with Braddrs the multistrada is the best all round motorcycle I absolutely love my 2013 PP Enjoy
