In two days? That is a painful trip.
In three days it's uncomfortable.
You won't have time to sleep, so i suggest up sleeping rough for a few hours wherever you can get shelter.
If you up it to three days, then i would say look for Formule 1 style cheap hotels, as unpacking and packing your camping gear is going to slow down your progress each day. ____________________ Motorcycle headlight bulbs and HIDs

I did salisbury to innsbruck in 24 hrs, included a stop for a bit of kip.
That was getting on for 900 miles and wasn't a major hassle.
If you don't do a lot of miles usually it could cause problems.
If it was me i'd go a couple of days earlier though and take the time to plod along and enjoy the sights, roads and stop off in a few places along the way. ____________________ Nobby the Bastard: How yo tell the difference between the actual japanese and her just screaming because she's had live fish stuck up her arse?

As i imagine the tank range isn't that great take 10 mins every time you stop to walk around. your body will thank you.
I always have a walk round for 10 mins when on a fuel stop, it really does help your body and mind.
Earplugs will help too, stop you going deaf over the distance. through germany you can make up ground on good roads with good drivers and sensible limits. When unrestricted get moving but not dangerously and when a limit is set make sure you don't go over it.
Overtaking a german police car at 120mph is damn hard to do, you just convince yourself you're about to lose your licence but they don't even look at you.
Do 10mph over the set limits though and they'll bounce up and down on you quite hard. ____________________ Nobby the Bastard: How yo tell the difference between the actual japanese and her just screaming because she's had live fish stuck up her arse?

Old Thread Alert!
The last post was made 15 years, 35 days ago. Instead of replying here, would creating a new thread be more useful? |
