Just parked outside Victoria hotel, Leichester - very satisfied, very tired.

Story goes on tomorrow, continentalizing the bike by swapping lights in the morning. An adventure!

On Dover-Calais, all good so far.

Swapped headlights and instrument with dagosh88, and thanks for the cake! Just had the last ones! :-)

Looked for fuel tap to prepare for reserve condition but found none. Somewhat later I found the fuel gage, it even counts km from reserve ! Wow !

Better on motorways thank the mk1, but I can't wait to test it in the twisties....

Glad to see you're going the distance.

 

Anytime, you cannot ride without any sweats in the luggage. Smile

No,sweets and waterproof gloves are the two mandatory items on a trip like this :-)

Did the last tankfull at 4.2l/100kr at avg cruise speed of 120km/h - not bad.

Butt not too bad,getting better every hour. Another 1500kms to go..... did some 600 yesterday.

Next time I'll take a week and do some B-roads!

I've told you that with my wife and all the luggage on the beam was just right, so I never bothered to adjust anything. Smile

 

I also mounted the projector lights, so I didn't need anything more.

 

Warm beer...That makes your soul go cold...

Any other time a warm beer would be disgusting, but being cold to the bones, a couple of room tempered ones did the trick ☺

BTW, the journey has come to an end, 2000kms of tarmac is history and I was welcomed back with ice cold beer and freezed glasses 😎

Tyre squared noticeably, 5 tankfulls of gas vapourized, the 9er is home !

Thanks to you that made it possible and to you that watched!
PS.: Did I mention - what a cracking bike !?
