Great "openly ventilated handlebar bag", Godspeed. It gives me ideas.

I'd like a new Innova. It's being sold in Asia. So why not here?

Such a shame we don’t get some of the Asian market bikes. I’d love a Honda ADV125 scooter but unfortunately not here.

The Innova is a great little bike. I’m off to the Picos in April, which will see the Innova having done over 6500 miles abroad in the past few years.

Nice one. Are you going down through France or on the boat to Santander?

Just hope it’s not as wet as it’s been here in the past few weeksBCB73457-0534-4539-A8B8-03A8BFF057EF.jpeg

I’ll ride down through France to Perpignan then spend some time across the Pyrenees then head to Picos and out on the ferry from Bilbao.

Not sure if April will be good but hopefully find a few dry days :D

Only a suggestion...if you're heading west from Perpignan to the Picos, you may end up somewhere near Pamplona and if so it's worth heading 60 miles south of there to Tudela where you can ride through The Bardenas 'desert'...only a suggestion but it's well worth it for half a day... and a slight detour 8-)

Perfect. That’s exactly why I was heading that way. I’ve built in a day off to ride the area a it really looks good on the pics

Great idea. I was wondering if it was possible to get a front rack for the Innova and it seems not. How have you attached it? Couple of zip ties through the windscreen? Anything else? I can't quite see.

Yep a few holes drilled through the homemade screen and then zip tied to the screen and the screen arms.
Took it out for a spin and it works really well.
