Essex, Hampshire and Dave (Everyone knows a Dave!) - Our IJR

A few bags! You fibber, you couldn't pack much more in there! Tool's, spares, beer and Dudley!

Beer? What beer?
The only beer in the van was what Dudley purchased on the cheap to take home for personal consumption!
But yes having the van to carry a few bags and spares did make things a lot easier

A few bags etc, had I have been pulled for a weight check, probably overweight.3 boxes of tools and spares, 3 sets of throw overs, 1 suitcase, 5 overnight bags and ‘Ruby’.

Yes the beer was cheap, you can’t get genuine Czeck Staropranen in the U.K. it’s brewed in Burton on Trent, especially at Euro 1.09 a 500ml can i.e. £0.96.

Riding luggage free made the journey more enjoyable on the older bikes. I'd not have liked to ride that distance carrying everything.

Back up van? we didn't bother.
