Hien Gericke do a full kit that goes behind your number plate - takes no space at all. The triangle is covered by getting a helmet cover, fits into a box of matches.

I asked the same question, and no-one (RAC, AA, multiple forums) could give a qualified answer -lot's of "I thought", "apparently" but no proper qualified answers.

Having said that, I couldn't find any definition of "first aid kit" so I guess a box of plasters would do! But then again, if your out on the road would you really want to travel without having the stuff that you might need?

You only need to carry light bulbs, the warning triangle and hi-viz (vest for every occupant) of cars, vans and lorries in France.

On motorbikes there is no legal obligation to carry any of these items.
The only things by law that you are required to carry on your bike in France is your driving license (both parts), mot, insurance certificate and the log book, all of these need to be the originals and not photocopies.

smooth riding
 

have found riding at 6000rpm there is less vibration comming from the bike but the oil breather pipe fills with oil and you use a lot more petrol than 70-75.


have a good one

Reminder: it's a thumper, so I think you shouldn't run the bike too long in these higher revs. And for the full pipe, get the modified breather and that problem is solved. When I do long stretches of highway, I run at 4500-5000rpm max, that equals 120-130kmh, for me fast enuff and still comfortable. If you want to go faster, get another bike like a GS or a KTM990, they're more up to it.
Greetz, Hans.

I've just come back from a run out to the Dolomites.
75 mph was the nominal speed we travelled at, which the Tenere dealt with quite easily..... any more and it got a bit uncomfortable.


Timpo.

Depends on the road and how much of a hurry I'm in.

normally sit anywhere between 65-100 mph depending on weather/traffic conditions Bike seems happy at any of these speeds.

The run back from Portsmouth to the midlands was done at 85 plus as it was nice to get that slog out of the way.

A sheep skin cover for the saddle is the best mod at just �9 for improving comfort.:HappyRoll_ANPIUI:

Good God, that's 2000mph

You just can't beat high speed filtering to give you a buzz in the mornings before work :098::BSmeter::ytiller:

on the boring long stretches did between 88-93mph which made it about 5200 -5400 revs but mates said this was only 81mph. do you think they was joking or is the speedo that wrong?

Sounds right (that it's wrong) ;)

There's a 10% error margin, hence the 'don't do more than 77mph on the mway' rule...
