Hell, only a couple of days to go before we head off on a 1500 odd kms cruise down the country. Its the first really long ride this bike has had, Ive just run up 2000kms from new, nicely run in and she is performing sweet.
Pannieirs are all loaded with warm liners tops and bottoms, Tool kits are checked and coorect, puncture kit, tyre gauge etc all crammed into the small compartment. Blast the new packrack tray (read expensive piece of chrome) aint arrived in the country yet so have had to make up a temporary one out of 2mm aluminium.. tested it with the extra baggage and looks like it will do the trick. I also fitted out the helmet with my ear/mic for the phone, test and seems fine. the phone will be set on auto answer, so should work hassle free. I think Ive covered all the bases, checked all the spare fuses are in place, oil levels, brake, tyres... looks good ..we are set to roll, Now cant wait till thursday morning so we can chew up some miles.
