Didn't bother, I never bothered with a GB before either. Tbh I realised somewhere in france on the second day I'd forgot the Vtc and insurance doc too. Oh well...

No. But I do have a single 21w bulb in a pocket. That's my spare bulb kit as everything except the front indicators are led.

I scored very low on the autie test. I’m cheerful, happy, confident, like meeting new people, chatty and largely sociable. What the fuck am I doing on this forum?

That rain looks fun*. When it comes down in the alps it doesn’t fuck about.

This makes me want to go to Switzerland again.

I've only been once, in 2016, and I was on foot.

Part of me considers taking the E36 on some silly continental trip down to Switzerland and back, but it's 24yrs old and knocking on the door of 182k miles. I'm sure it'll be fine though.

Thanks for all the photos. I've ridden ten of thousands of miles in Europe since 2006, but only have a couple of hundred photos.

Off to France in a couple of weeks, but this trip I will get more photos of the scenery going through Central Spain and Central France as I bimble northwards to meet my mates.

As for Sat navs, my TomTom Rider switched on its "blue screen of death" halfway through North Macedonia. Fun few hours that was until I found somewhere that sold maps.

I can't help thinking that but for a matter of timing, this year's Hooliday would have been a lot more entertaining had he undertaken to deliver Paul's gruesome grandad down to Jerzy......
