Hahaha. Well, we both decided it's time for her to get her own motorcycle for a start. That has the added benefit of sharing all our gear and less load on the bikes. That said, we were comfortable two up and the bike had no problem with it.

I will also get a proper multi fuel stove. I took this penny can stove I made from a beer can and works well in the warmer weather. It does use a lot of fuel though.

Then a proper GPS connected via bluetooth to a headset in my helmet, although getting lost sometimes led us to very nice little towns and scenery.

I will also allow for either more days away so you can stay off the motorways and do more back roads (you get to experience so much more) or explore only one country at a time. This time we set out to visit a friend in Switzerland so we did all those countries because it was on the way.

Apart from that, I wouldn't change a thing.
