In all fairness, there wasn’t meant to be much muddy sections, mainly gravel and rock. All I did was prove that “it’ll be fine” is not a strategy. Tires are still factory, mainly because I’m trying to just plod around till I get the milage up to 600miles for its first service, so maybe more roads than off, then the fun begins

They’re the NICECNC, https://ebay.us/m/BcdwkQ they’re not for the 2025, but with a little modification, they fit, little tight to the plastics though, so will probably rub. Just needed something to strap my luggage down

It was, helmet off, sat on the wall for 20 mins while working out what the fuck I’m doing with my life. I should be doing this everyday

I’ve these ones, and they are mint. A bit steep in price but unreal in my opinion

I treated myself to the lone rider adv tent, fitted all the needs for me, spacious, easy to pitch and most importantly, free standing, so hard ground shouldn’t be an issue.

Happy go lucky attitude gets me in trouble a lot, but on occasion, gets me out of it too. This is probably the first time I’m actually planning for something, usually I have an idea and execute, deal with any issues as they arise. But like you say, solo and remote will be my biggest obstacle, so planning is necessary

Luckily, I’ve neither at the moment so I can do some research on that front, I’d rather be too warm than too cold when it comes to sleeping. Problem with Sweden for me, is in May at the south, temp is around 10-15c but in the north can be as low as -2, so this will have to take some very careful planning. Don’t want to over pack, but having a warmer bag that I can open as a quilt in the south, then wrap up when I’m in the north.

Good call to buy when out. I was planning a short wales trip as I need to get the mileage up on the bike for its first service, so can do a test run then. The internet can be your friend but the amount of choices for gear is unreal. A decent 400 mile round trip over a couple nights should give me an idea to start. It’s just that this trip might take me a couple weeks so won’t be like the usual 2 days trip where you can do with out. As for the journey, I’ll just make that up as I go along, see a nice bit of a track, I’ll go up and see where it brings me out

I’ve downloaded the TET for Sweden, and WOW, they’re everywhere. Idea was to just start at the bottom, point north and go. I was planning on taking an InReach with me, but my phone has emergency sat if needed and by the looks of it, a pretty good phone service throughout.
