Manchester England to Benitses, Corfu. Greece - June 2009.

The missus and I have decided that next year our annual holiday trip to Corfu will be taken on the bike this means the Paso will now have a full engine strip with her indoors full permission and the rest of the bike will be getting a damn site better strip down, repaint, rewire and polish than I could ever of hoped.
Plus she won't see me slinking off to admire the Monsters and KTM's that frequent the Island as I will be almost 24/7 staying with my bike while we are there.
I reckon it should be about a 4,000 km there and back
We have already agreed that we shall be visiting the Ducati Museum and taking a tour around the factory if possible and hopefully enjoying a little bit of each country we enter on the way there and just blasting it back at the holidays end. We hope to do it over a three week period ( I dare not leave my daughter in the house with her brother any longer???)
The reason for the thread is that I will be letting those interested know what problems I have with the rebuild ( If I can't find it in search ater 10 minutes looking!!!) - if any and also asking for some advice on places that need seeing / riding through on our way and on the spares kit that might be advisible and no that does not mean another Paso 907 following me.
It should be fun and as we have not done any long biking holidays since before we married over 25 years ago. Must Guys do it with their old school mates - Me ? - I'm doing it with my best mate.
