That was good, A brave man to use that bike and then drill a few hundred holes in the fairings but he did and has been very busy racking up the miles
That was truly epic and a great inspiration for those thinking about travelling further afield... Right I’m off to get me a tank cutter kit, some high rise bars and a few extra rads! Pani European style
Quite awesome, and for a little while inspired me to think of doing similar extreme touring, now unfortunately back in the land of the living!! I really do take my hat off to these kind of brave and resourceful people, way above my pay grade. And for Cookster the holes are for heat dispersal.
Those crazy Dutch If you liked that then I can recommend Nathan Millwards book The Long Ride Home. He travels overland from Sydney to London on a 105cc Honda Post Bike. A cracking holiday read
Can I ask your advice? I'm looking at a 1198 that is in race livery, it's never been road registered, in order to put it on the road I could put some lights on it but would like to keep the race look. I don't really want to change the fairing. Is that possible? I have heard you can have a bike for daytime use, is that true?
Yes you can use it on the road with no lights , all you need is a horn and a number plate. Does it have a v5 document??
