Here's a bit about the Bikes we are using and Equipment we're going to be attempting this tour on.
Yes Alan's bike is a Sports Bike, not a Tourer, and yes there's no doubt he'll be rather sore riding all that distance, but the Kawasaki Ninja ZX6R is a superb machine and we want to prove that a bike like this can be used for Touring and not just for short runs and trackdays!...
