Great story!

A walk in the park for a big Zed. Did Fife - Black Forest in 1 sitting a few years back, 2 up with luggage. Broke a VW Polo with my front wheel whilst there and still rode it home. Brilliant bikes. Got a GPZ1100e now and it's going back to Germany next year.

Good write up, I did Cote d'Azur to East Kilbride in a single stint around 30 years ago (GPz900R). Never again!

Great write up. Sounds like a very fun trip. Gotta love the 1100 cruise missiles.

That's hardcore man... hardcore. Most i've ever done is about 450 miles in a day and I felt like I needed surgery after. Karma

Epic. Congrats. Would love to do something like this one day.

Without a satnav I'd be so lost, but hey, that's what adventures are for right? Providing you can find a hotel. Laughing

Good work. Thumbs Up
