Techno Prisoners is on a distinguished road
All prepared for Timbuktu

Both the bike and I are fully kitted out, lubed up and ready to go.

Work done:
Check and/or changed fork oil, engine oil and air and oil filters - have spares.
Hepco pannier racks + top box rack + Famsa panniers (thanks John and mate).
Loctite 243'd vulerable threads.
Michelin 4mm inner tubes with Ultraseal (I know I know...) + spares.
Pair of TKC80s as spares with rest of Siracs for the Moroccan tarmac.
Tsubaki heavy duty continuous chain and steel sprockets + spares.
Spare cables for clutch and throttle.
New rear shock - original was loose.
Philips H4 headlamp plus spares.
Touratech off-road footpegs.
Touratech blingy guards for hands and various vulnerable bits.
Touratech bash plate - the mother of all bash plates!
New seat cover - better air circulation for those Betty Swollocks moments.
GPS tracking device - for those lost in space moments.
The Missus was convinced I was buying another bike in bits. She hasn't forgotten the Husqvarnas......

BTW For those travelling afar, if you have to remove your front wheel (tyre change perhaps) you will need a 14 mm Allen key - you can get them married to a 1/2 inch drive socket. Not included in Yamaha tool kit
You'll also need 3 decent tyre levers, and a way of inflating the tyre.
I'd post some pictures, but can't work out how.
