Blackbeast, my, now wife and I did 26,000 miles from london to australia on a
on a 1978 R65 bm back in 1994 two up, shit thats getting a while ago now....We mainly did tar roads. Though in Iran ,Pakistan and India we did a fare share of dirt.We had very little dramas .did put a set of Konis on before leaving . only cracked a pannier frame .rebuilt the gearbox in Iran , the only thing I didn't really look at before going btw the bike was a basket case 12 months before heading off .. So It can be done
