Good luck for your trip, hope the restrictions don't interfere with the plan. Hope to see some good pics and ride report. You deserve the break for the day job. I am sure the honda will take it in its stride, a true adventure bike.

Good look. I'm sure the bike will be fine going up those passes, if a little laboured, but coming down might be scary.
I work to live. I live to ride. I ride to work, Ever felt like your going in circles.

Are you moving house?
Flippin looks like it doesn’t it 😂😂😂
Basically that’s a month worth of gear. Heading off tomorrow, aiming for Austria direction then northern Italy, Chamonix, south of France, Andorra, Pyrenees and then home... that’s if I don’t wear this lovely bike out 🤪

Excellent, looking forward to some photos and report . I'm sure the bike will be fine, it's a Honda after all :D

I ‘won’ it on ebay, got it for something to tinker with. It’s an unfinished project, needs a few bits.
I’ve cobbled it together to take the pictures and to gauge what it needs, but I don’t think this is the right spark plug.
