Re: Three days in the Rain, Mud and Cow S**t, life doesn't get better when you have your WD M20 wit

It was some gravel that got me on a roundabout coming out of the Brenner pass, I was on the second time around trying to remember if it was Strasbourg or Salzburg I wanted.

Hi Patrick

Like Ron not too much lean going around roundabouts and slow speeds take your time in the wet.
Can experience front wheel and handle bar wobble at slow speeds while pulling away, also braking at
slow speeds, pump those fork links full of good grease.
Keep as much heavy weight as possible right behind your back.
Keep your fingers crossed!!

Here's a picture taken a while back with the bike packed for a Normandy tour...Everything I need to survive for about 10 days!

I found the 'wobble' of the bars at low speed is rather like the effect that occurs with a sidecar outfit and a slight increase in the pressure of grip on the bars stops it...

Generally handling is OK, though less responsive than when unloaded..I certainly don't have any doubts about the bikes abilities on corners or feel unsafe in any way...Ian

With me, even though I have break down cover, I can't get out of the habit of taking a "kitchen sink" tool kit that weighs a ton.

Also, I am quite tight, so I take two 500ml coke bottles filled with oil just in case; petrol station oil is more expensive than a Costa Coffee!

Your bikes all look so good....
I would't dare place a photo of mine. I would probably be banned from this website !

If your ride is anything like my around the coast ride (on a LE!)three days of crap weather are followed by glorious days when the world is a wonderful place to be on an old bike. As long as you are going forward all is well.
