Back from Brittany - 1015 mile round trip - did about 700 miles on Saturday to get the Calais ferry, then back up to Birmingham.
Bandit was flawless the whole journey, comfortably(ish - for a naked bike) cruising at 90mph two up with luggage on the French motorways.
French roads are the best. Perfect tarmac and lovely sweeping bends, good road signs and hardly anyone else there.
Noticed how shit the UK roads are as soon as we were off the ferry!
Might need to change the chain and sprockets now. And the oil. And the tyres. Might just get a new bike....
