Re: 72 Reg V2 950 Ducati MultiStrada Travel For Sale Loads of Extras
Hi Bob. So sorry to hear of your injuries and the consequent end to your motorcycling activities. I bought your Triumph 1200 XRt from Chelmsford City Motorcycles, who were selling it on your behalf, in Jan 2021 and, 35,000 miles later, it is still going really well.
My best wishes for 2023!!

Have a great trip, it sounds well thought-out. Only advice I can provide is to remember filtering is illegal in Germany.
