Fabulous! And on an RE !
I haven't SEEN one of those for decades, let alone ridden one.
Doesn't look too tough, and it's for only 10 days. It will be a blast.
During my last summer as a student in the UK in 1962? I bought a BSA ?B
51 for £25, travelled 6000 miles over the English Channel by air to France,
though Belgium, Netherlands, Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, back
though Sweden & Denmark, into Germany again, to Switzerland, across
France, and back over the water to west of London. On my own, staying at
youth hostels.
Feeding me and the bike cost £40, the only breakdown that slowed me
down was a broken chain-link (trying to cross France east to west in one day
as my green-card insurance was running out), and I sold the bike again for
£15. I bought a WA lens and a 135 tele for my Practika FX in Hamburg 2nd
hand, and I thought I was "made". Kodachrome those days! 200 miles a day
left time for sight-seeing in mornings. The trip of a lifetime, for me.
Go for it !!
