What Did You Do With Your Commando Today?

It’s a trek for sure and it seemed like a good idea all those months ago watching YouTube videos of all those GS Beemers and Africa Twins posing by the Globe! Now I’m not so sure🤔 Looking at around a month and about 5,500 miles. I’m not looking at doing anything too twisty loaded up though. I’m at Harwich now waiting to go to the Hook. 🤞🏻

I did it in August 2002 on a newly reassembled 850, with clip-ons and very rear-sets, and throw over panniers etc. , as an add-on to the Norway NOC rally that year. Except we used the Newcastle-Kristiansand ferry. Apart from two wet days getting to Tromso, it was vg weather. Bike was still running in, so did an oil change at Tromso Harley dealer, and reset tappets. Fantastic trip. 4400 mile return from London. Fjords were most scenic part, including a ferry along one, and roads are vg and little traffic, and great tunnels for sound effects……
 
:) no awards, my bike is fairly standard, but the petrol tanks paintwork is very poor and is in need of a resto / repaint. The steam traction engines had better paint job...

Arrived in Guérande, France an hour ago after a 4 hr ferry crossing. 6 1/2 hrs in the saddle with 3 pit stops for fuel for the bike and me, 20 mins max. Bike went like a dream. Mostly fast roads but no tolls; took the opportunity to do some stints at 130 kph 👍🏻 The Corbin seat showed its worth too; no discomfort whatsoever 😁
