i have a trip planned roughly covering 1000 miles over 5 nights in cheap travel lodges, it will be my first tour of that amount of miles ever on any bike and i am wondering if anyone has any hints or tips on anything to do with touring or places to do or see en route or evenanswer, am i going to be comfortable two up with tank bag, throwovers for long periods in the saddle on my 600 ?.... i will be going from bridlington to kendal on day one, overnight stay in kendal, another day and night in kendal then on to north wales where i will be staying one night in bangor and then heading down to pembroke dock for one night and then merthyr tydfil for my last night and then home which ever route i decide (i am thinking across towards skeg coast and up back home)
thoughts or ideas welcome.. btw i have done a few hundred miles in a sitting on several occasions so have some experience of aches that come with the territory just not on this bike
thanks in advance peeps
 

Hi all,


New here to the forum. My name is Roxy, I ride a 1999 600 in cherry red and black, she is lovely. When i aren't on my bike i drive buses for a living. I have been riding for 5 years with no break in between (i should think not) never owned a car, never want to. I ride in all weathers all year round, they don't call me power ranger roxy, come out in my new season gear for, well summer, then go into hiding. Nope, i brave the winters with the rest of them, wish i had more insulation sometimes but when spring finally arrives winter seems so far behind us.  Joined the site in case i ever need any advice, tips, info etc and of course to check out everyone else's ride...
I have uploaded one pic so far to the media area of the site. I hope i can be initiated now...


Be safe,


Roxy
