It's a shame the ferry doesn't run from Newcastle to Norway anymore.

What's Norway like for motorcyclists?

Looking at the possibility of a 2 week trip to Germany.

What have you got planned for 2015?

Living in the NE of England, approximately halfway between Lands End & John O'Groats allowed me to take two separate 4 day trips to LE & JOG.

Had a week at Klotten on the Mosel in Germany & a 16 day trip to Northern Spain.

Where did you get to in 2014?

Swapped the cylinder head protectors from the 2010 bike to the 2012 model, didn't use a torque wrench, just hand-tight.

The 2010 model pictured was part-ex'd at Allan Jefferies.

Test road one and preferred the Twin Cam model.

What have you got?

Now on to my second Twin Cam model, had a 2010 bike (see photo) covering 38,000 miles in 4 years.



Recently changed it for a 2012 model in Midnight Blue Metallic with 3,000 miles on the clock.

Had a 2007 model for 3.5 years covering 39,000 miles.

From the Rider's Manual The oil level varies with the temperature of the oil. The higher the temperature, the higher the level of oil in the sump. Checking the oil level with the engine cold or after no more than a short ride will lead to misinterpretation of oil level. In order to ensure that the ...

Z6 or Z8's, most of my riding is done 2 up plus luggage, probably get around 6K out of the tyres.

Over 8K miles, which Metzelers are you on, is your riding solo, 2 up or both.
