Welcome TK, at 140,000 km (87,500 mi) looks like you are top of the mileage survey if not the class.

A wise move. I have a tour planned over your way in August. I'm bringing waterproofs for that liquid sunshine. ;)

Well spotted,
Drove trucks from Ireland to Europe 1981 to 1994. A colleague that I shared a cabin with on a ferry reported that I snored like a Thermo King so it kinda stuck. :lol:
Retired about two years ago so any trips to Europe are on two wheels at the moment.

TK.

The more waterproofs you pack the less likely it is to rain. Riding in the rain makes you smooth according to a friend of mine. ;)
