firstly thank you for allowing us to see your journey.........please if possible could you show your route and the town/camp site from day one .....thank you Phil
Hi Phil. Day ones campsite is a big favourite of mine. It's called camping du Chateau and it's in a town called Eymet in the Dordoigne. If you leave Roscoff ferry port and programme your sat nav to there but have it set to avoid tolls you will take the same route. Failing that I can send you a gpx file of the route to your email address. Regards Tony
I shipped my 1300ST to Germany and drove through England, Luxembourg, Austria, and even through Moldova and USSR..... I mean 30 days of driving and now back in Arizona...... these bikes are something else and just hit 70K miles on my 2006 !!!!!
Hello Yorkie. I've vey interested in the GPS Support, model, how it fit, screws, velcro? I'm the proud owner of an ST1100 1.998, and, buf!, it's a pain in ass how to fit the electronics devices...in 1.998 all was more easy, no electronic devices in our lives :D. Thanks in advance, be careful in the roads and sorry for my english, i'm from Spain.
These old Pans still well-capable of any journey, great bikes, just perfect for relaxed long distance touring, even now at over 20 years old. Love 'em 👍
One year later now and how's the Pan treating you? I am very much enjoying this video. Thank you for posting and I look forward to finding your others.
Very well. I recently acquired a Yamaha fjr1300 es and took it on my trip to France and Spain, however I think I was more comfortable on the Pan last year. So the Fjr is up for sale.
What a great video! Im definatly going to watch the other episodes too. Im riding an identical ST since two months and i love it. If i may ask, what phone holder are you using/recommending and how od you secure it properly? Ive seen another good looking phone holder on your "France Day 2" video too. I tried one with a clipping mechanism on the plastic dash board but it wasnt holding up well. Ive been struggeling to find something appropriate... Ram mounts are kinda expensive so im looking for another solution. Thanks in advance. Wishing you safe rides!
Lovely! Looks like an AWESOME ride! Please could you take a few mins in your next video to tell us about how you added your phone and GSP units (mounts/how/difficulties) ?
Haha. No your not seeing things. I bought a cheapish pan, realised how good they were and looked around for a minter. Found the red one and then sold the blue. 😳My wife says I'm nuts. She may be right.
I have tried to find the tent you have but cannot so may not have heard it correctly what is it and where did you buy it please- well done my pan has 130,000 miles and a 74 year old riding it brilliant bikes
images.app.goo.gl/15po7qo2HscUEt898 Hi here's a link. It's a Vango Galaxy 300. Nice to hear pans doing over 100k miles. Hope I'm still riding in 12years time.
Hi, I'm 62 and have no problem. However I'm 6ft tall and pretty heavy. I would say if your reasonably healthy and strong you'll be fine. If you haven't already, try and find one for sale that you can sit on and try it for weight and size. Have to say once on the move the weight dissapears.
If you're 6ft and fit, buy one. I'm 5ft 9in and I bought one last August to go down to Faro in October. I'm a bit short and not as strong as I used to be, I'm 66 now! I dropped the bike in Bilbao trying to do a u turn. No way I could pick it up on my own. Two Spanish lads helped me! On the move it's fantastic. On the way back I did France in a day and a half to Dieppe and I could still walk! 55 mpg staying off the toll roads. I'd like to know what camera you're using?

Hello from Tipperary 😊 subbed. These are cracking bikes,our work bikes back in the day were all day comfy and ultra reliable..... 😊
Hi. Its a long way to where you are, I'm sure you have heard that before. Thanks for subscribing and ride safe my friend.
I shipped my 1300ST to Germany and drove through England, Luxembourg, Austria, and even through Moldova and USSR..... I mean 30 days of driving and now back in Arizona...... these bikes are something else and just hit 70K miles on my 2006 !!!!!
Wow. That's some adventure. I wish I could afford 30 days. Don't think my wife will ever let me retire lol.

Hi. I have a shelf made by a UK company. That I use Ram mounts to then install the sat nav.
@@ayorkiepetrolhead2571 Thanks!
What sat bag do you use
Where is the neares large french town to Amy please?
These old Pans still well-capable of any journey, great bikes, just perfect for relaxed long distance touring, even now at over 20 years old. Love 'em 👍
I agree. I'm 62 years old and on my trip to France it was like riding a armchair. So comfy and relaxing.
One year later now and how's the Pan treating you? I am very much enjoying this video. Thank you for posting and I look forward to finding your others.

I ran computer BBS I was always amazed anyone called it it's a trill life should be enjoyable .love ur channel .
Driving anywhere in my car is about the destination - Driving my Pan is all about the journey - the destination is a bonus
Yes. Kind of sad when you arrive. Just want to turnaround and do it again.
Especially when it was UK to Saudi Arabia, with NO SATNAV or Mobile, just maps😊
@@ayorkiepetrolhead2571how Old are you? Please as I am 71 and buying two Pan 1100s to Renovate and Re Start my Journey through life😊
Hi. Im 62 hope to be riding until I'm eighty, don't mind switching to a trike in the end🏍️😁 good on you. You will enjoy the pan.

hi what mount are you using for your satnav.
Hi. My sat nav is mounted on a ram ball which is on a shelf made by a company called Aquashak.
i have spare quadlock tried mounting in same position but cant seem to get it to stick out enough to mount satnav on it
There are long arms and short arms for the ram system, have you tried the longer one?
hi Tony thanks for quick response ....great info. thank you looking forward to the next vid 👍
Brilliant video excellent bike very good commentary ( but serious lack of INDICATORS not using them when overtaking etc M S M
Good point! I must watch for that in the future.
Lovely! Looks like an AWESOME ride! Please could you take a few mins in your next video to tell us about how you added your phone and GSP units (mounts/how/difficulties) ?
Hi. Will do thanks for watching.
Hi, am I seeing things or has your blue st1100 changed into a red one?
Haha. No your not seeing things.
I bought a cheapish pan, realised how good they were and looked around for a minter. Found the red one and then sold the blue. 😳My wife says I'm nuts. She may be right.
@@ayorkiepetrolhead2571 i was thinking the same about the Blue Pan
Haha.
Excellent

Nice to hear pans doing over 100k miles. Hope I'm still riding in 12years time.
I’m thinking off buying a pan European and I’m 66. What do you thing ?

@@ayorkiepetrolhead2571
Thanks buddy I think I will go for it. I retire in August so will do a lot off touring. Oh and I’m as fit as a butchers dog.
If you're 6ft and fit, buy one. I'm 5ft 9in and I bought one last August to go down to Faro in October. I'm a bit short and not as strong as I used to be, I'm 66 now!

@@BacktorealityUK hi. The camera is a helmet mount ghost drift xl, with an in helmet microphone. Good value and battery life is 8hours plus.
Thanks! Really good quality video and audio.
Did loads from BAOR to Manchester on an R65 in winter
Sat nav I mean
Hi. Its a garmin xt zumo. Plus I use a phone with Google maps or myroute-app.
