There are motorcycle spaces now available for the return journey so we're sticking with the original plan.

One of the blokes going is taking one of those massive touring Ducatis so I'm strapping stuff to that ;)

Not sure yet. Probably my waterproof rucksack and my tank bag. I won't be taking much.
