I'm taking spare bulbs, first aid kit, hv vest, GB sticker and documents. Oh I'd best take my glasses but I'm not buying a second pair that's just ridiculous. Don't forget your EHIC card.

It may be ridiculous for you, not for me.
My eyes are old that I do not want to drive without glasses.
I lost my glasses at a rest stop on a motorcycle in Switzerland.
I could not find the glasses without glasses.
The glasses fell off the seat and attach the exhaust remained hidden.
Luckily, only the bow were scorched, and I could still use the glasses.

If all else fails take your previous pair, I always take spare glasses whenever I am on the bike, to easy to break/lose them with having to take them on and off.

If you're lucky, they only pay a penalty.
They are alone and can not read the map, they do not find their way at home.

Danny - did you get anyone to go in on this with you yet? Might be interested.......http://www.interphon...rence-twin-pack
I can get a single unit for about £190.00 but a double pre paired set are only £290.00. Trying to find some one who also wants one to split the difference and make a big saving.
At risk of doing something exciting!

Frank I had a couple of offers but when we looked into it properly it wasn't worth it. The double kit only comes with one charging unit and one data cable. The cost of buying these separately does away with almost all savings made. You can get a single unit with a two year warranty for a reasonable price now and that's the way I'm going.

I use the AA - http://www.theaa.com...l-insurance.jsp and they confirm bike cover, mine was £37 for an annual last year.
Some offer bike cover but not over 250cc so you have to double check - I've previously used the Post Office as well.

Glad I bought a flip lid then....
MotoGuzzi Norge 1200GT. for Euro touring
Triumph Street Triple. For those hooligan moments......
Beta Alp 200. For falling off In muddy bits.
I suffer from C.D.O. It's like O.C.D. but all the letters are in the correct order, just as they should be.
