Re-Packing

Just been for shakedown ride with the bike loaded up and an already heavy bike is even heavier! Time to re-pack for the 2nd time...just how little can you make do with? Last think I want to do is be kicking myself that I left something behind that I really need....and the more you bring, the more difficult the bike is to handle on rough surfaces...and the more you have to wash :-)

I think I have been as brutal as I can, hygiene will have to suffer. At least the bottle of travel wash is staying in.

This is the steed (BMW R1200GSA) for the trip on the left, the C1 (right) would be a real challenge.... but then again, two lunatics managed to get 17,500 miles from Alaska to Ushuaia (Check this amazing trip) so a C1 'might' get to Morocco....I dont think I am that much of masochist.

Ferry at 12 midday tomorrow from Plymouth so must remember to set the alarm clock....over the last month, it has been an optional accessory in my bedroom. Not sure when the next update will be...maybe Tuesday?
