Biking Abroad

[violetsdaddy]

Hello All,

How about a biking abroad board?
I go away on my bike every year all over the place camping and B&B and hotels.
I can't be the only one, and I personally love reading up on good roads, hotels, campsites etc.
It also helps to have top tips about petrol (10% ethanol pumps) HI Viz, foreign laws, tricks and tips and other information.

So here's my first question:

I'm going away camping next week o the Fazer for the first time.
I'm using throwover panniers, will I have trouble with the panniers wanting to bend my rear indicators off?
I'm going where the sun is shining, no fixed route, if it all gets wet I may end up in Germany!!!
