What make of travel bike do you own ??
I think I would be more concerned about electronics if I was going RTW. I've got a Tiger 800 xc and the lowest point under the bike is the side stand switch, completely exposed. How barmy is that?
They also so say drown the clocks and it's game over. Hmmm think I better be careful where I take this one. But I bought it for mainly European travel where if it does all go pear shaped, help shouldn't be far away.
That being said, I believe someone has taken an xc RTW with very little problems, so I guess we all worry a little too much.
I spoke with Ian Coates at the Manchester bike show last year, he was explaining how he bypassed the clutch and side stand switches before he went so they couldn't give problems.
I've also got an Africa Twin, and it has always got me home, even when not running right. It's also simple to work on and very basic. I fitted a 36ltr tank when the original sprung a leak so it has very good range. Yes I think that would be what I would take.
