Hi All

Airhawk seats are the ONLY way to go. They stop Blood "pooling" in you bum by moving air around in between small cells within the cushion. You can ride for hours on end without getting uncomfortable. http://www.airhawk.co.uk/  I even take mine on long plane trips!. There is a knack to setting them up though essentially as long as the air can move between the cells when sitting on it its fine so keep it as flat as poss otherwise its like riding an air bed!

Hi All

Were off to the Dalmation coast and have been told by the trip organisers that you can pick up insurance at the Bosnian  border for 28Euros. Well, as previously commented, you pays your money and takes your chance.
My "Swinton" insurance covers Croatia and Slovenia. As for breakdown they have an escort van with trailer and a place for my spare tyre as it never goes the distance!! Just in case we are in some inhospitable country.

Come along they still have places!

Hi All

Couldn't resist adding my 6d to this. I am lucky to have an enthusiastic pillion. My wife Chris has looked at the back of my head for probably 50K miles plus. We do at least one 2 week bike trip every year. I wouldnt be without our Autocom apparently it gives her a sense of security being able to bollock me! ( I made one in 1984!I'm an electronic engineer by trade)

My fav saying by her , as we were filtering somewhere in Poland, was: No no I'm not going through there!........I think you probably are!!!

Hi Trotters

Not sure if I'm qualified to say "welcome" yet as only just joined myself! Anyway I can recommend a Remus can and whilst you are at it pull the flies and add a PCIII or V it make all the difference and nearly brings it up to the Busa it replaced!

Enjoy your retirement.

Hi All
I've been lurking here for a while but the suns out and I've just been for a blast! Looking forward to being more pro-active this year and meeting up with some of you folks. Off to Croatia and the Dalmatian coast in June anyone coming??
