I thought I’d share the bits Iam doing to the bike and preparation for the rally. I’ve toured on a bike in the summer but never to Europe and certainly not in minus degree temps and snow and ice!
Any tips or advice welcome too!

 Next on the list was to sort the tool tube. (eBay purchase) The stock one was so small and just collected mud! So I removed the side panel and tool box/tool kit to install this one. |

 Now Christmas is out of the way I found an opportunity to bring the bike indoors and fit my heated grips! Lovely and toasty Oxford Sports premium, (not the scooter ones - which I did debate over for a while as they were designed for smaller capacity bikes) |
