I have never tried to stuff our riding gear into suitcases to plan the big summer ride.
When we left Alaska we just kept most of the stuff on the bikes as they were crated to ship home. Today I learned we have enough existing suitcases to get our gear to the starting point.
Been talking about this for months, but finally pulled the trigger on making it happen. We've done a lot of North America. Time to try Europe. I've never been father east than Newfoundland, so this is a bit beyond my comfort level. But I'm assuming it won't be all that different (comfort wise) than heading up to familiar ol' Canada for us.
The pictures look inviting, so DM and I will be riding a couple of BMWs around the Alps. She's requested the same bike she owns, and I'll be trying a F 850 GS.
All pavement, but the kind of pavement I do love to ride.
Yes, CW...suitcases. DM was not at all enthusiastic about your method of getting gear across the pond. I loved it, but it was clear that DM wasn't going for it.
