Questions a plenty...

[Ben Douglas]

Ive been reading articles, forums, emails and skyping people untill my eyes go square so Im sorry if this is in the wrong place or has been asked before, but in just over 6 weeks the Bonnie is going into the garage as I begin living the dream and fly to Kathmandu, stay in Pokhara for a month, then ride home (the uk) over 4 months on a RX135.

I feel fairly on top of things but I still havent quite cracked what to wear,

As it stands im going with:

Half height Puma boots (comfy, moulded angles and pretty inconspicuous)
Two pairs of gloves, one medium and one ultra light
Something like the Klim Dakar pant,
Jacket - Textile, lightweight, big pockets,

And Either an eduro helmet or and open face old trails style helmet + goggles and scarf/buff.

Any advice/is anything on this list a particularly stupid idea?

As departure day gets closer the list of thing to do and buy is getting bigger and bigger!


Thanks

And I know i should be more prepaired at this point!
