Wow jeancap_31! That’s one big tour in 14 days! Sounds great though, given your detailed itinerary. My wife and I recently rode 3700 kms in 17 days, from here in the UK, across NE France, down through the Black Forest and down into Austria. Onto N Italy heading E to Venice via Lake Garda. From Venic...

+1 for Michelin PR4 GTs!

Rok straps all the time! Forget bungees with hooks.

Not a lawyer, but my wife and I circumnavigated most of France last year. We stocked up on the required bits and pieces, breathalysers etc, and wore high-biz tabbards. Helmet hi viz? Nah. More importantly, when we scrutinised other foreign riders and French nationals riding around France, not one ha...

Good. Glad to hear all appears okay now! Mind you, as and when your bike is next back at the dealers, any TPMS related faults will flag up on their diagnostic computer. It’ll be interesting to hear if any hard faults are logged, and if it carries on performing without further fault.
