Norway calling

Visited Istanbul today. That was interesting, to say the least. The GTR even acted like the local scooters.

Reminds me of my solo trip to Morocco. Riding with mates is great but the excitement of doing a big trip on your own is a real buzz.

I liked reading your report as well.

Journey on and have a safe ride back home!

[JohnnyTh]

noticed today that one of the brackets holding the windscreen was gone. screws where still there but the rest was gone.  Will see on monday if its possible to get a new one in 2 days. if not i just need to do a temporary fix.

Local Kawa dealer would look into it. Today the bike is with them for a oil change and all filters. They promised a full service, including all filters. but im not sure how much i should put into that. Price was only £120

Johnny, do you mean the plastic cover over the actual mounting bolt?

[JohnnyTh]

yes thats the one.

They cleaned it to and i could hardly recognice it. Did not look like the same bike.

Exploring Taurus mountains

Do you think the plastic piece was stolen or was it broken off?
It's not important for holding the screen on.

[JohnnyTh]

it was broken off. It was there when i left that morning.  Are you sure its not important for holding the screen. It did look like it was moving more on that side when it was broken off.

Not had time to write much, but today i let my GTR have om rest and spent 7 hours exploring dirt roads and trails on a 250 Honda

If you are worried about the screen moving too much, remove the 2 smaller screws, put some washers with some rubber underneath them and then fit them again.
Have a fun holiday and enjoy the ride home.

Im home again. 11000km later. No big issues with the bike exept the windscreen and a stuck brake light on the rear brake that needed atention on the road.
