Good on you mate!
 
Good luck and take care! That's a long way and you'll be shattered by the end of it, as I'm sure you already know  :D
 
Enter yourself for the iron butt club while you're at it  ;)  pretty sure that's their trademark.

It wouldn't be fun if it was easy, I just wish it wasn't this much fun.

Three questions:

1) Paying for your own fuel?
2) Where are you doing it?
3) Want a road mate? I'd be well up for it (if fuel is covered. I'm skint)!

Good luck with it!  :thumbup

Ah right, that makes sense.
 
Will have to wait until I get paid  :o  but will definately get a donation in.
 
All the best for it!

Good luck!


A mate of mine did it last year (northern route, clockwise). He said it was an incredible experience but very tiring - had to pull over somewhere north of the border for a snooze on a park bench. I'd like to do it myself and I was intending to do it last year but couldn't raise enough funds to get the bike up to standard to take on 1000 miles.


Again, best of luck, and get some bum cushioning.  :D
