Pic of my multi.
I will.be traveling with my wife who has a 1200gs which will have its final drive rebuilt and suspension upgraded before we go also we will carry a storage fpc.and red for it gets is a2005
We have camped for many years were have a small 2 person tent and a tarp which works well for us.
Plan is over the next couple of year s do mainly European trips got 3 week's in so Spain in sept. Then we'd like to do corsica.and Sardinia. Norway is.on the list and a return to Slovenia.beautiful country all before I finish work.
This will give us lots of time to sort out the bikes reduce what we carry and see exactly what works.
This also gives us time to get the bikes how we want them and give us time to complete some off road schools.
I.did some off road riding as a youth many years ago but my wife never has.
Our plan is to get more experience on the trips above get the bikes and kit how we want them then when I finish (debt free hopefully and living in rented as our house will be sold with a small lump sum and a pension) ship the bikes to Australia whilst we fly out and have a nice 2'or3 week holiday.
Get the bikes sort out any local issues no rush and then travel around aus mixing some lighter outgrowing with tarmac mixing rough camping campsites hostels couch surfing and the odd hotel.
Being uk we can get a visa for a.year we'd also like to sees Tasmania.
The rough plan after that it's 6 months or so in NewZeland then see where we go.
Our kids are already grown up and left home so we will have the time and if we are not daft the money.
So I need my bike to be able too cope with some off road riding bit of loose stuff quite a bit of tarmac riding.
Both bikes would be better suited with wire wheels not much of a problem for a gs but a bit harder for the multi.
A usa company does bash plates crash bars fork protectors ext a Dutch company does wire wheels but they are expensive I have a good mechanic will look at upgrading the ducati wiring better battery cooling fan for the rectifier new internals for the front forks and a bespoke rear hugger/protector oh a decat.retune bash guard.for the center stand and a touring scotoiler or similar.and maybe some so spots that should do it.
