Not really a rideout report but more of a recovery report.
Anyway fwk the insurance i got my bike back.
Flew over last tuesday to Umea and started working on the bike changing out the injectors.
Straight fwd job really the bike was up and running in a couple of hours.
Quick change of oils and i was ready to go again.
Managed to get to the lower part of Sweden in glorius weather by wednesday evening bike going great.
Thursday morning different kettle of fish,pouring down and didnt let up all day.
Crosssed over to Denmark jumped on the ferry to Germany and got in to the Wittorf at Neumunster late afternoon.
Dried off everything by the morning,those hotel hairdryers are handy,must have cost them a fortune in electricity.
Friday morning set off for Holland and another soaking in prospect,didn't relly mind as the bike was going well.
Got to Amsterdam by lunchtime as was hoping to catch the ferry at 14.30 to Harwich but traffic put paid to that.
The next ferry was at 22.30 but that one was allready fully booked so at this time i was looking at riding down to Calais to get over via the tunnel.
Had a quick stop for fuel and got chatting to some Danish bikers and they said they were going with the Ijmuiden to Newcastle ferry at 17.30.
Couple of quick phone calls and jobs a good un.
16 Hrs later and i arrive back in UK.
