I hope I will not remember that when getting my leathers on

Great looking bike. Love that 3 cylinder sound.

Good job, lot os small parts, I usually end up loosing or breaking some of them and at the end after assembly always have spares remaining

No I didn’t trigger any speed camera, I did 160 only on the unlimited parts of the autobahn. I did follow all limits. As computer says average speed on all 2000km was 111 km/h what is 69 miles/h. At 160 consumption was 40 miles /gallon, not bad at all. It would be fantastic if I could stick all the way at 100 miles/h, it would take me only 12 hours instead of 18

That’s all ok and electric is the future, but without engine and exhaust note it is just transportation.

300 odd quid on tolls?? That's bloody extortionate but on the other hand the roads are better than ours.....fuel isn't that much cheaper either I don't think but right now its just something that I am thinking about That’s are really expensive, Germany gratis, Austria and Slovenia 25 euro booth for a week, that doesn’t include some tunnels and bridges Still I think is cheaper to drive, if not cheaper than more interesting. I hate ships for some reason.

Forgot all route picture Definitely fastest way to get down there

Next week same way back home and 14 days quarantine, welcome home.

Unfortunately all on motorway therefore no interesting pics, but met some bikers travelling around,

Just over 2000km, about 1200 miles, airhowk saved my bum, no pain no bruises. Definitely worth the money

Austrian and Slovenian road tax for a week Few pics on the way So update, arrived to Croatia, where tourists are welcomed, no one asked a question. Except on Austria/Slovenian border, Slovenian bloke asked where is the destination, when heard Cro he just waved his hand to go. So depend on destination it looks very easy to travel. So I stop last evening on lorry park around Wursburg, slept on the bench in the sleeping bag as real homeless. Rain worked me up at 03:00 so I just departed 03:30. It was raining over 3 hours, almost to Austria where sun came out finally. Roads were very quiet what helped a lot getting quickly to destination, autobahn on cruise control 160 km/h Unfortunately iPad and pics are rotated stupidly But finally in Rijeka, 20 degrees Celsius, bit cold for locals, as it should be over 30

No I am going to Rijeka, my home town, but yes, ride from north to south along Adriatic coast is fantastic, and places as zadar, sibenik, etc all the way to Dubrovnik are fantastic. Especially now with just tenth of the tourists, everything is half price.

As I said not to many pictures as it is boring motorway trip to Croatia. Today departed from home toward euro tunnel, at 5 this morning light traffic all the way. Arrived just on time for train at 10:20 ( lot of road works and diversions), Customs no issues at all, French bloke didn’t ask nothing. I did fill up online form for France few day’s in advance so maybe that is enough. Arrived just south of Frankfurt, found nice track stop for overnight, not crowded fortunately no rain. Sleeping homeless stile in the sleeping bag on the bench. More details tomorrow after Austria and Slovenia.

One or two size bigger gear,

Nothing to stop you taking a camera with you Unfortunately gopro is in the luggage that still didn’t arrive after 3 weeks from Norway, but I will try to take some pics along the way with my phone

I am not sure that will be lot of pics, it is business trip believe or not, 100% on motorways. However all experience will be updated here if someone else will need to travel this way.

I will try to get to France then Belgium, Germany, Austria, Slovenia to Croatia, Strictly business trip, on the bike, Than next week if all goes ok comeback, and 14 days quarantine in uk. Welcome home.

Those are seats for people doing lot of miles and spending many hours on the bike daily. I got airhowk years ago (not cheep), but that is the all I need . I don’t use it daily (motorbike), and when is used it is for few hours. Except when on the route to Croatia, but that happens once every 5 years.

thanks

Yes it is uk registered bike, that could be negative, I really try to avoid hotels,motels and any place where to many people are close to each other. I will just stop on some rest place by the motorway and sleep few hours under the sky’s even if rain is very possible

It is still much cheaper than most of Europe

Anyway I got Croatian driving licence as well

But all this will change post brexit Remain to see in 2021, probably will not be required but we will see
