BMW K1200LT |
 |
After touring the continent on the Blackbird, I quite fancied a big tourer and looked at Goldwings. A ride on a K1200LT proved that you can get all the comfort of the Goldwing, with all the Gizmos, and still get some reasonable ground clearance. |
| The luggage space is cavernous, and this bike came with six CD, cruise control, electric seats and grips, as well as an electric screen and loads of extra chrome trim. |  |

So, off on a European tour.
There was a lot of talk at the time of Britain pulling away from Gibraltar, so I thought I'd better go see it whilst it was still British. I took a leisurely four-day trip through the Pyrenees. The photo here, shot in Andorra. The bike proved quite agile, even through the twisties of these Pyrenean roads. |
| After leaving Andorra and have the bags
unpacked by the most unfriendly customs men you could hope to meet, I
headed south. And the picture here is outside a hotel north of Malaga.
After Gibraltar I really tested the bike's capability by returning home, 1700 miles, in two days and one night. This is a serious touring bike. |
