England to Germany SOOON !!!!
Anyone fancy traveling with me to "Sommer KTM" in Germany spend a few days there and then back? I am not too sure where the shop is based (I think its in Duisburg / where ever that may be). I am going to get a few mods done on my KTM 640 Adventure...thought I would save on posting the bits I want. It is my first long ride on my new bike, so be nice...Cheers, Jake.

I'm on a clapped out R65, and was even toying with the idea of getting the engine freshened up a bit in Germany (the mechanic's hourly rate has to be cheaper than UK). From Australia originally, working in Scotland, keeping the bike in London.

I'm still planning on going, but was thinking of leaving on the 18th or 19th. This is subject to change at the last minute though. What's your planned route? there is a ferry from just north of London direct to Germany i think.
