My Eu Trip.....

Discussion in 'Touring' started by Lucazade, Aug 19, 2014.

  1. bummer,
     
  2. As per game rules. Spot a car with British plate. Slowly move behind him/her. Then slowly overtake. When in front slowly pull in front and wait few seconds then start going again. Watch how he tailgates you to any speed for a bit before they realise.

  3. Another idea for that game is. Overtake British plated car at proper Overtake speed (abruptly). Then pull in in front like one should after Overtake. If you do it all fast many get redmisted and go for it big time. Overtake aggressively, keep on going at stupid speed till you can barely seen them. Then they slow down....... You catch up and it starts again. :)
     
  4. To finish up my 2350 mile journey came to an end. Tyre is shagged, chain fucked :) and I still have her on my head so main idea for trip failed.

    Saying that it was a great time well spent and would do it all over again any time. As mentioned today was rather uneventful. Still more fun then Magdeburgh, Germany city centre at rush hour: [​IMG]
    Still cannot complain as got these:

    I managed to loose my go pro, Mount just snapped off. That was the highlight of the day.

    Few things I have learned for next trips. Map is better idea then gps, need better charger for phone, need two power banks and camera permanently wired in, need a tent that is actually waterproof not one where it just says so on cover, need smaller sleeping bag and sleeping mat.

    As for the bike well cannot complain, monster is surprisingly good at touring. Except chain, new one would also get fucked due to roads I took, it was completely reliable till I submerged front cylinder in water. Then it turned mono.
    Few things I would change for next trip:
    Add adjustable steering damper, will help keep happy front stable on motorway. Have reserve light fixed and tested, make sure seat and your waterproof pants have both none slip surface. Finally a taller tank bag so one can lie down on the tank and relax.

    Till next time I guess.

    Completely forgot I have rediscovered tea tray usage as well tea tray. People were actually laughing out of that at each stop and trying to talk to me.

  6. you work in the hospitality trade don't you. if my experience is anything to go by i cant imagine it will take to long to you score again. how long does it take to get to the polish coast line
     
  7. Well I set off to Rosso Corse to get chain replaced and a mile down the road chain decided to detach. At slow speed but still.

    That push mile home felt like 100 mile as had to go up a steep hill. Lets hope someone local has a chain.

  8. I'd have to take my mirrors off, or I'd be cheating.....

    Great write up Lucaz, as for the mystery food? Looks to me like stir fry with rocks.... Is it some sort of mushroom? Would love to see Poland, maybe next years road trip (other than Le Mans)
