Don't see any reason not to...
Weather isn't very promising, reckon it's going to be a bit soggy.

So is Haggis on the VStrom heading for Breganze? Guess we’ll have to wait for a progress report 
. Hopefully he’s going to make it as it looks like it’s going to be an absolute cracker

Ps . RGSFC that looks like it’s going to be an amazing looking bike, is that bodywork all carbon? Can’t wait to see the finished build and to read about all the modifications you’ve done

Yes, it’s all carbon, made by Boba. It’s either the only set in the world, or one of two? When I was lucky and allowed to buy it, I got started on a project that grew quite big. Plan was to have it ready for Breganze, but i missed that target by a few weeks. I haven’t had it on a weight yet, but I took notes of all the weights of the parts, and guesstimate a weight loss of 40 kg
Weather is going to be on and off this week.
It's been mostly off over the last few months.

Hi Tom. Thanks for the inspiration chap, much appreciated. Got home late last eve.So is Haggis on the VStrom heading for Breganze? Guess we’ll have to wait for a progress report
Tom
Just test rode the V-Strom and apart from some awful buffeting from the screen, I reckon we are on to a winner! Test fit of luggage next, then maybe, just maybe, a ferry re-booking
Have lost 2 days, so no scenic route possible on way down, but I can fanny about and see the sights on the way back.

Ensconced in the hotel. Got here about lunchtime. Took in the Timmelsjoch museum. Beautifully sunny but, as I passed 2,000 metres, I began to question riding up there in a T-shirt.Still not a drop of rain has fallen on me. It was definitely worth buying a new rain suit, practically guaranteed dry weather.
Lazy day tomorrow, then the final 217 miles in to Breganze.

I thought that museum was a rip off for food when we were there.

I won't be making it but if anyone gets stranded around here (northern Bavaria) and needs a place to dry clothes or do some spannering give me a holler. Can throw in a bed/shower/warm meal.

Bravo Haggis! Sitting here in a cold winter Melbourne I'm barracking for you and cheering you on to your goal! You'll definitely deserve some sort of award once you make it - and I'm confident you will.
