Well crap. The local #motorcycle shop checked out my bike. Synchro mesh seems to be gone in the gearbox, for sure between first and second the mechanic says, but I think also between the other gears, because the gear lever won't return to an engaged position when downshifting from any gear...

So that's the sad end of the #framo25 tour. I am limping the bike to a nearby depot where I'll get a rental car which I'll drive home. The bike is going to be transported home at some point... Sadness.

Day 3 of the #framo25 #motorcycle tour: 347km, 3 countries (France, Switzerland, Italy, France) and 2 serious passes (Saint Bernard and Petit Saint Bernard).

Breakfast: fresh croissants and coffee from the unique (well, 1 of 2) @Valheru travel mug.

Oops! Three Luxemburg #motorcycle cops pulled me off the road. You're not allowed to attach anything to your helmet that has not been approved as part of the ECE rating of that particular helmet. So no camera (that was me) but also no communication unit like a Cardo or Sena. Only the helmet manufacturer approved comms built into the helmet are allowed.

They let me off with a warning luckily!

Short stop and the tripoint. #framo25

We'll see how good a plan that is, but I got to make some distance to get There.

Some motorway, some faster roads, a small detour past the highest point in the Netherlands that also serves as the tripoint where the borders of The Netherlands, Belgium and Germany meet. #motorcycle
