RantMachine Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 Would absolutely love to do this sort of thing, sounds like my idea of heaven, but my job would limit me to two weeks at most - and I'd need to be back again for work on the 15th day If I get myself fired any time soon you'll be the first to know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abraxix92 Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 I'd love to try this in 2016, if you doing this yearly, i've too many holidays and event's to go to in 2015 so that will limit me, and i don't have a bike that can cope well with knobby tyres for the roads i've seen in your last trip!

RantMachine Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 Awesome, I'll keep my eyes on it! I'd love to try this in 2016, if you doing this yearly, i've too many holidays and event's to go to in 2015 so that will limit me, and i don't have a bike that can cope well with knobby tyres for the roads i've seen in your last trip! One of my books has a travel journal by a guy who took a GSXR1000 across a desert after elevating the suspension and fitting knobblies... I'm sure your ER-6 could have the same makeover Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodman Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 Can you get tyres that last 8k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 Can you get tyres that last 8k yes.. easily. Tyres on my GS usually get changed at around the 10,000 mile mark.. and usually have a bit of life left in them. Sod the expense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RantMachine Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 And at worst, buy a replacement set on the return trip! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phooey Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Watched your entire 9 vid trip. Well impressed, Rod. I would love to make a trip like this, but sadly I wouldn't get the time off work.I'm trying to talk the wife into a UK trip ... way up into the highlands of Scotland next summer.

Rod York Posted January 1, 2015 Author Share Posted January 1, 2015 just watched the 9 episodes. looked like it was a hell of an adventure! Jam- it's one I certainly won't forget in a hurry...I hope this years trip to be equally entertaining but for completely different reasons- RegardsRod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
