I've booked the bike for 3 weeks, you need to spend a whole day collecting it as you get to go on a test ride, I think that's more about the traffic than how the bike is!
You then get a couple of hours on maintenance and repair, together with a shed load of spares
. They were giving me clutch plates and gearbox internals to take with me..I don't know what they were expecting to break but I turned down a lot of it. All the spares filled one pannier so I'll take some clothes instead....
If it breaks down I'll throw money at the situation.
Once the bike was ready to go, I go escorted to my hotel (15 Kms) by one of the mechanics as he lived nearby, and in that 15 Kms I got hit twice by cars...doesn't bode well for 3 weeks on the road!!!
The bike is ok to ride if a little under powered. Good job I'm not in a hurry to get anywhere!
