This setup would probably be unique to my rack setup. I moved my top box back farther on a 1/4" alum plate and made a cushion from a 2x4 with 2 layers of foam attached to it and quick wrap of vinyl. Not pretty but worked perfect for us. Keep in mind she's 5'2" and I'm 5'8", two larger people are prob not going to find this comfortable. .
Hi, mates Here some pics of a 7 days trip around de center and norh of Spain. Hope you enjoy it. http://www.motostrail.com/vb2011/threads/35371-Crónica-de-siete-días-un-poco-quot-a-lo-loco-quot
What can I say, fantastic riding country, great food and great beer. Estrella is great but the Allumbra (I know the spelling is wrong) is my all time favourite. If you can I would love to get your views on differences between your 630 and the 701. Many thanks for sharing the photos.
The correct spelling of the beer is Alhambra . Here you have a thread about 630 vs 701 http://www.motostrail.com/vb2011/threads/35186-Comparativa-Husqvarna-TE630-vs-701 As a resume I would say 630 is more confortable and polivalent bike while 701 is more "explosive" and racing bike. I keep my 630 while my brother is going to sell the 701 because Is very uncomfortable, spends oil and the electric fan is almost always on ... so he do not trust the motorcycle In the link above you could see this video among other photos and another video Sure you´ll enjoy it
Fully agree with you on the 630 vs 701 comments. I have just traded my 2013 690, a great bike, for a 2017 model the new bike is a very big improvement on the 2103 model and is absoutely superb in all departments with huge power. However, my 630 with Arrows kit etc, is still the big dog on the porch and is no poor cousin to the 690 / 701.
a beautiful lap as this has been possible with Nicola and Pierpaolo who have made off-road tracks studying cartography for months. a special thanks also to Adriano with his xr600r driving the group and to Luca who with his F800GS was the "broom" of the group with Pierpaolo. Unfortunately, Nicola eventually did not have a chance to participate but next year we will return to these beautiful places in Central Italy
Hi Rotax, knew you must be a good looking chap with a haircut like mine. Great photos by the way. A small suggestion, a set of small saddle bags work well on the 630- keeping most of the weight on the passenger seat. I use the Nelson Rigg cheap and cheerful set and put tools and tubes et al in them.
for two days I do not bring a big baggage. I prefer to keep everything tight on the back of the saddle. this facilitates the movements if the ground is steep or in the woods in this case my luggage weighed 4.5 kg excluding the tools
Nice trip. Form the landscape I can tell you were somewhere between Umbria/Abruzzo/Lazio. I've been in Umbria with the 610, fell in love with it.
You certainly didn't take the easy road. Looks like a great 2 day adventure. Many Thanks for sharing. Ciao Ciao.
