Just a few final remarks:

We had a great time, the weather was excellent, except
for one thunderstorm that hit us but didn't last much
longer than 20 minutes (of course everything was
soaking wet after that).  My navigation system, the
cheapest
Garmin Nuevi 205 did an excellent job - so why
spend tens of thousands of Yen for a bike system?
My 12 year old tent that I bought from the Rejka company
in Germany showed again what quality means.  Better
spending a little more for something that will last for a
long time than buying cheap!  And of course my good old
Honda TransAlp.  She didn't let us down, even with the
extra weight she performed so well.  Two-up with all the
camp stuff we took along, she averaged 4.5 liters on 100
kilometers.  Any questions??
