Thanks to Ari for idea how to add a flagpole into BMW K1200LT using CB antenna holder that I ordered from the local dealer.
Here's what I got when I started:
And here's how it looks after working two hours (I also added two extra power outlets into top case so that I can charge phone and IPod simultaneously and that they are safely inside the box):
Now i just need to wait a bit to get the antenna in as well, friend from Sodankylä, Finland promised to create one for me and I should get it before leaving to this years first motorcycle meeting, Kokko-Treffen with a Finnish flag.
As the July gets closer making decisions on which route should we take gets more attention.
So far it looks that we are driving from Espoo to Warsaw and stay the first night somewhere in there. This would mean driving ~1050 kilometers on the first day!
Next day as we continue from Warsaw, drive through Czech Republic and end up somewhere in Zwett, Austria. We are ~1800 kilometers from Helsinki.
Then we enter shortly into Germany and drive through Austria into Milan, Italy and continue all the way almost to the border of France close to Eclause for third night.
From here we drive pretty close to coast until we get to Spain for the night somewhere close to Balaguer, ~3650 kilometers from Helsinki.
And on the last full driving day close to Atequera, Spain for the night and during the next half a day we drive the last few hundred kilometers and end up in city called Rota, at this point we have driven ~4800 kilometers from Helsinki!
Current plan includes zero kilometers toll roads, which actually means that we are going to drive long days and see a lot of places during our drive. But that's what the motorcycling is all about!
Below is a map of the route that we will be taking.
