Germany on my FZ1S

[Strifae]

We should do a foc-u Germany ride out next year!

For me its a month too late though, I prefer my Euro summer tour in June, but might do just a weekend next year.

Damn. I'd have been up for that.


Or would I? The weather's sodding awful again all of a sudden, and it's coming from the continent...


Loads of great info there Phil and Strifae. Thanks for taking the time to get it on the forum. I've done the Nurburgring/Eiffel mountains, Heidleburg, Frankfurt and Stuttgart so far, but there's plenty more I want to do.


The Mercedes museum in Stuttgart is a must for anyone who has any interest in the internal combustion engine though. Stunning place, I could have spent two days in there. Even three. And of course, the Porsche museum is only a couple of miles away and very good too.

The gel seat was Louis own brand - it's a company a bit like Hein Gericke but its a lot better in my opinion. They had a large and extra large - www.getgeared.com sell it as they stock Louis stuff but quite a large markup - I think they well the gel seat for around £75? When it was €49 euro from Louis direct

Thanks, good tip.

I ordered one direct from Louis last Saturday and it arrived Thursday. I went up to Silverstone for the WSB race, and confirm it adds a fair amount of comfort. After siting on a rock hard seat all day watching the race, no twitchy bum for the 2 1/2 hours back home.

Glad you like it, I have been using it since getting home and find it more comfortable now than I did before (to be honest, that was probably cause my Butt hurt after 8 hours solid riding without it a few days before haha)

For 50 euro's you can't really go wrong, and its easy to take off the bike if the sun is baking and take with you (hot gel sucks)
