Day 1 - Get your Mojo working
Friday 25th August 2017 It is 250 miles to my first night's destination. The sun is shining here in Doncaster and it's a warm day with a light backwind to push me south. Mick stops by to see me off. We got home from our Montenegro tour a month ago and I'm sorry he is not coming on ths trip. But I'm used to solo touring now. It has a wholly different dynamic when you are on your own. BMW R1200s for this tour I am riding my R1200s for this tour. It is lighter and easier to ride than it's heavier older brother and I have used it for touring for 12 years now. There will be no camping on this trip so the sports panniers and a tank bag are more than adequate for the gear I need to pack. My route today is almost exclusively on the motorways. I have a ferry booked to Spain leaving at 08:45 tomorrow morning so I have arranged to stay overnight with Mojomick, an old buddy from the UK Buell group, who lives in Sturminster Marshall, a village down near the New Forest
