I followed an Aprillia RS125 down the A5 a few years ago doing in excess of 100mph. It even had L plates.
My Suzuki DR125 struggled to do 60.

Re: not good start..
Didn't he have a bad accident a few years ago? A tragedy, as always, but this is not something you can do year after year - it's so dangerous that eventually a serious accident is inevitable. These guys have the admiration of all of us and they know the risks. Still, it's heart breaking when it happ...

Re: Weekend ride 14-16th June 2013
I'm available that weekend if an upcoming house move is all done by then. How about the Peak District?

That route is way too short but could be expanded a lot.

Re: Luggage options.
Thanks grumpyfrog - the Bivi bag looks good as it can be half filled and rolled up tight and attached to other luggage :thumbup: The 45L bag looks pretty big Al, might be the way to go.

Re: Luggage options.
I don't want panniers. I don't carry a passenger.

Luckily there was spare tent space so I didn't have to carry a tent but even so I didn't even manage to get the bare minimum in my rucksack (no bottle of Scotch :x) Plus, even though it's a good one it's a bit uncomfortable w...
