"j": start of construction 1975, finished 1976 … and still running

working on the bike and test-loading

The departure ist approaching with big steps. In about two weeks my motorbike is being shipped and I start in about five weeks. Everything is organized, there are only a few things to do. The bike is also almost equipped. Next Tuesday a service is done, then I will fit it with the remaining parts. This week I loaded the bike with the whole luggage. Everything sums up to about 42kg. I will buy a few spare parts in America. Further south a set of tires will be strapped to the back. And not to forget 3-5 litres of water, I have to take with me each day. Within the next weeks I will go through the checklist again. Maybe I can leave one or another part at home. The less I take with me, the better.

Here are some pics of equipping the bike and how it will probably look fully loaded.

 

Thank you for reading, Jürgen
