try "VehicleRescueDirect" at insurance.uk.com 08454 500 620, seems to be a good deal wink.gif

cats neglects to mention his E21s are empty coz he has a huge topbox and a massive bag with his camping gear across the pillion seat rolleyes.gif



Just be careful about small print. It may well say "recovery up to the value of boike"...which on a TRX and recovery costs prolly aint that much?

Think Cats is gonna have to show us a pic of the boike loaded up. rolleyes.gif

Your spooky. Just took a pic of her ready to go. Spent the last 2 hours finishing her.

Last thing, apart from a few more Euros, is TRAVEL INSURANCE!!!

when you get off ferry head for jaca there is a cheepish hotel on the right hand side of the road before you hit the town. next day as your leavin petrol garage at end of road head on to n260 and stay on it youll luv it... at the end you can go through the tunnel towards barcelona costs 8 euros then girona then lloret... if you got time ride from lorett to tossa then carry on to st felou another great road

How well can she handle the TDM with full luggage? 'cos you're going to be jelous as hell when you get in to the mountains rotflmmfao.gif

we are both insured on the bikes, but the big question is do i trust her to ride my TDM dry.gif
the TRX is just a toy to me, the TDM is the only bike i'd never sell

Kris isnt used to doing this much mileage, she's only had a licence for 2months & is expecting to have a couple of chill out days while we are at Motocamp, so i get to play with TRiXy then wink.gif

also i normally only do a few thousand on the TRX a year so its fitted with brand new semi track tyres, really soft and sticky good.gif
downside is they'll need changing when we get back :doh:

anyway, the TRX is prep'd and ready to rock

lubed/checked/adjusted the needful, fitted autocom from her bandit, luggage fitted, fitted double bubble screen, made a map case, sorted out spare bulbs/fuses etc
also packed a spare set of levers etc as both bikes are the same
even started modifying a set of baffles to fit the cans but gave up on that..... evillaff.gif

TDM was prep'd last weekend, when i get home from work tomorrow just need to put the panniers on and strap on the ready packed camping gear and meet the other 2 boys on Wed morning

Cats&Tiger aleart!!!! - ferry is now 11am not 12:30 so we need to leave a bit earlier dry.gif
