Great weekend…
… at the BMW VIC Service day in northern Victoria.
Interesting mix of bikes ranging from 1941 R75 to the latest high-tech racer.



Good opportunity for a good 600k test run after getting the jetting right only recently.
One final valve check, carburetor sync, oil change and new tyres over the next 5 month – and we are ready to roll!
If all goes well 7,500km services in Novosibirsk and Trondheim and the next one after that in Melbourne, again – after shipping the bike from London with 20,000 on the trip.
Where to start?
Maybe with a bit of psychology:
Wanderlust may reflect an intense urge for self-development by experiencing the unknown, confronting unforeseen challenges, getting to know unfamiliar cultures, ways of life and behaviours or may be driven by the desire to escape and leave behind depressive feelings of guilt, and has been linked to bipolar disorder in the periodicity of the attacks. In adolescence, dissatisfaction with the restrictions of home and locality may also fuel the desire to travel.
