Planed trip I've provisionally put name down for . Celle is Vespa world days Rally I've signed up for that will do that any way .Extra excursion to Norway Sweden Poland adds 1600 miles to a return trip to Celle .I'm not sure how long has been allowed for excursion as yet .I've got 8 months to loose weight .I've got choice of Sym hd200 or Vespa gt 200 ,Gt has more power on paper but has annoying thing of having to lift seat to fill up and more of an attraction to get nicked .The Sym has lot lower miles and 16 " wheels and can fill up with out lifting seat .Would need a screen for Sym tho and would need oil change during trip as it's just a screen and low miles for oil change could do that in Celle tho as there 3 days .

Home to Oslo is 1300 miles same as home to Zadar in Croatia a few did that on 2 strokes in 2015 .How hard can it be




Re: Have I still got the balls ? June 2017
What does the tent fold to? I want an easy to use but folding to a small form factor one. The pop ups tend to be disk shaped and not easy to store.

You don't want to ride Norway unless you like changing tyres half way through the trip, most of the outback roads have a very grippy surface and wear your tyres like you want believe. done dat on a 1200gs and we all had to have new tyres before we left the country.

Not going that far in Lyn looking at ferry to Bergen from Denmark working way back .
330 miles back from bergen to Kristensand then ferry back to Denmark .Plus bit more to go to Lysboten

Re: Have I still got the balls ? June 2017
Well answer is no not got the balls looking to be too far too expensive. Looks like Scotland more realistic option.Campervan and scooter on trailer go for 2 weeks .Should get few good days out of that .
